Experience of new elders meeting format.....
by caspian injust to let you know that the s2 has come back from london with my deletion on it, so i expect it to be announced on thursday, it will be interesting to see how "my brothers and sisters" treat me.
anyway with regards to my experience to the new format of elders meetings.... some of you may be aware of the change to the format announced at the the elders seminar 2002 and in the subsequent letter, regarding the handling of an elder whose child has been involved in serious conduct.. basically the change is that a special elders meeting is held, where the elder is questioned by the body on why he thinks his child got into trouble?
was it his fault?

questions about 1975 and other dates
by Leander inmy wife and i were discussing the date of 1975 earlier this week and she basically was of the opinion that the individuals who thought the end was coming in that year came up with the date based on their incorrect assesment of published information.
i replied that would it make sense for thousands of people across the continent to sell their homes and all of their valued possesions if they really had the slightest doubt that armageddon was not coming in 1975. she did'nt have an answer for that retort but still she insisted that somehow these people must have made a mistake in their judgement.
so for those of you who may have lived through the 1975 fiasco and those who have in-depth knowledge about the events that took place in that year maybe you can answer a few questions for me.. how widespread was the belief that 1975 was the year of armageddon?

"We are all in the gutter.....but some of us are looking at the stars"
by berylblue insomeone, in a thread a while back, mentioned that he thought oscar wilde was merely remembered because of his homosexuality, his conviction and jail sentence.
on line, there are many sites which feature quotes from this genius.
oscar wilde, the picture of dorian gray, 1891 the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

HOW busy is this board now?
by ninecharger inam i just imagining it - is it because i now treat my addiction to this site by restricting my time - or is it actual?
are the topics turning over faster now?
mouthy said she is finding it hard to keep up so am i. sometimes you need to go back half a dozen pages to see if there was a response to a post.. i wonder, however, if this isn't because people don't choose which section of the forum to post on, they just submit a new post under "active topics" instead of friends , doctrine, blood and medical, humor, adult, or whatever.. you need to get in real quick.

If God And His Thoughts Are Perfect - How Did Humans & Satan Become Evil?
by Latin assassin from Manhattan inthis question may not make too much sense.
if a man creates a computer, using the best parts and software design with the intent of analyzing data accurately and reliably, would he also design it with the ability or freedom to 'crash' or spread viruses to other computers if it chose to?
if a man trains a dog with the intent of being a family pet, would he also give it the knowledge to kill humans or other animals?

Ever been conned by smallprint? Dixons/Currys Coverplan
by Brummie ini brought a top of the range lexmark 73 printer/scanner/copier about a year and half ago and got it covered by coverplan mastercare.
it cost me approx 230. .
the coverplan insurance told me that if it broke down i would get full cover for parts and labour or a brad new top of the range printer.. it broke down and without even looking at it coverplan told me to "throw it away" and they will send me vouchers to replace the value.
