  1. I could really use a caramel machiatto right about now. How is everyone else doing? I stayed home sick from work today.... got some sort of flu that mostly makes me tired.

      Hello Dear Friend, if I could a caramel macchiato would be in your hand right now. We who use this sight are appreciative of the all work that must be done to continue the upkeep of this site. Thank you and all who Administer each day. 

      Deep Christian Love, Ron & Bernice Stucker.

      Why thank you! .. But to be fair... it is not only me. It is a team of people. I am not smart enough to code this whole forum website... but I am glad they let us use this section. ;-)

      And I shouldn't forget all the people that share news etc....

  2. I have photos of Prince in full regalia posing with the New World Translation SOMEWHERE in the archives and I cannot locate them. Does anyone have a copy out there? You would know what I am talking about if you ever saw them.

  3. I just made you a moderator in the large JW group so that maybe you can help me keep the conversations on topic.  Please use your powers sparingly

      Just now, when I tried to move a post to another topic I was not able to because the button does not highlight. The one I am talking about is "Jehovah's Witnesses Topics"

      You’ll need to be patient with that link once selected. 

  4. I like how you added the GIF's @admin  (Although they do add slow)

    happy best day ever GIF

  5. I see it. Thanks.. ;-)  Must be a beautiful part of the country. Post some photos or video when you get a chance on your wall here...

  6. I understand. I think we can start to train ourselves to direct comments to people's profile pages for off topic stuff.... until the software improves one day and allows for threaded replies.

    The forum developers are still in love with old flat thread style forums.

      Where are you from Anna? I assume England for some reason.  Maybe you could add yourself to a country on our Member Map? You don't need to get city specific. Just curious.

  7. I used the US Post Office today (on a Sunday) where I was able to purchase postage.... affix the stamp to the envelope provided by them and send it.....with no postal worker.... automation is getting rid of so many of the simple jobs out there.

  8. I used to love your TomSheepandGoats blog writings. ;-) I look forward to hearing from you more.

    1. Anna

      Anna

      I used to read your TomSheeandGoats blog too! :-) I admire the way you are able to see the humorous side of things that make other people get their knickers all in a twist! I'm thinking of purchasing your book Tom Irregardles" :-)

      30% download of the book is free. Afterwards, if anyone wants it but can't afford, request free code at truetomharley@gmail.com. Glad you enjoyed the blog.

  9. I'm looking forward to seeing what pearls of wisdom you will share :)

  10. Interesting new block @admin

      Thank you. I ended up getting rid of it when I realized the posts already show up on this page. 

      Another attempt at 'continuous improvement'.

  11. Is South Africa just starting with this pandemic now? Just curious.

  12. Love your cover photo..... Rembrandt?

    1. The Librarian

      The Librarian

      If you click once to the left of your icon on the cover photo the entire photo opens up.... cool

      Didn't know that, thanks!

      No, its Renoir, one of my favorite artists.

      Funny... that was going to be my first guess.... and I retyped Rembrandt...  LOL

       

       

  13. Mabuhay! Welcome back Alexa. If you need a new category to share something in any of the sections just ask me. Agape!

  14. Me gusta sus posts..

    pero .. si deseas que otras personas puedan compartir y responder bien... 

    seria mejor poner sus posts en esta categoria

    https://www.theworldnewsmedia.org/forum/105-testemunhas-de-jeová/

    Agape!

    Status Update is not really for making searchable and shareable posts but rather just a quick comment I think

    Your "wall" on here doesn't seem to work the same as a post on your Facebook wall so to speak.

      thank you very much. we need participation in other languages too, so that the news travel even more faster, and this is thanks to the Librarian too, that had made this possible. 

      thank you all for your time and efforts and lets hope that our international posts will reach as many brothers & sisters and friends for the benefit of all in our organisation.

      Enjoy!

      Also... please keep us up to date with secular news stories from your area.... in whatever category exists... ;-)

  15. Oops... I was the one who voted it up... and I just voted it down.

    What do you think a good solution for that problem might be? I could ask the admin to make that "question' section a normal forum.....but then we wouldn't have the option of the "best answer" either....

    Any ideas?

    1. JW Insider

      JW Insider

      Thanks.

      The "best answer" feature works in forums where 10+ different people answer a question that requires some expertise, and the one with the most expertise can bubble up. I think that questions here are often intended to start a dialogue, and the best ones go one for several pages. No one is really looking for the single most "expert" sounding answer, they are usually looking to see how the idea was responded to by some and whether the answers, in total, produced a reasonable discussion. Taking any one answer out of the sequence makes it difficult to follow the conversation or dialogue.

      There are a few exceptions, but these tend to be questions with fewer answers anyway, and therefore the best answer is already somewhere on the same page as the question.

      So I don't know exactly what to suggest, except maybe to default to "Sort by date" and then have a message that might say: "Sort by votes to find best answers." Even that option might only be available when there have been some votes.

      But that's the complicated way to do it. For 95% of the topics, just defaulting to "sort by date" would be sufficient. In the topics I've read it is almost never used. I'm almost afraid that when people start using it more often it can be abused, too. I think it would usually be used as a way to highlight most interesting, most intriguing, most important, or "most agreeable to voter's way of thinking." Most of the posts that people would vote on are, in my experience, not even intended to answer the original question, but just to share some additional information.

      Insightful. Thank you both! @The Librarian and @JW Insider

      I changed it to a "normal" forum .... let me know if it works better for you or not.

  16. People can suffer from a psychological disorder called Boanthropy that makes them believe that they are a cow. They try to live their life as a cow.

      Sí. es una posibilidad.

  17. So... @Kurt inspired me to start finding and cataloguing some of Charles Sinutko's public talks. Thx Kurt. Soon I'm off to breakfast....not sure where though....

  18. Thank you @admin.  I'm loving the dynamic front page.  The new "front page of the Internet." :-)

  19. The comment will show up across the website down toward the bottom of the page. Still relevant but not messing with the thread topic....

      Yes... and then this allows for you and I to talk about how I love tacos and fork into whatever we want to chat about. It seems to be the only option left since the software doesn't allow for threaded replies.

  20. This club sounds more to your liking...

    If you want... start one similar in French... I can assist you if you wish.

  21. This is where you would leave a status update on your profile page ;-)

      Author of 'Tom Irregardless and Me'     and      'No Fake News but Plenty of Hogwash'

      These are the two books I occasionally refer to in my posts, whenever something is inexplicably in quotes. Please don't post online questions about my books - this is a discussion forum, not a bookstore. Message me instead.

      Thanks, Tom
