    It depends how you use it. If you use it as a means of communication then it is real. Like I've said people are now selling things and giving things away on Facebook. Someone listed a qty of paving slabs on FB and I contacted them and then collected 60 free paving slabs. The man wouldn't take any money for them. You can't get much more 'real' than that.

    The only one I use is Facebook, and to me it is real. I have received so much advice for working on some of my classic vehicles. Advice and encouragement, and in turn I am able to do the same for others.  Also Facebook is now being used for the buying and selling of items. There are local FB pages for our area which has helped me to buy things and I've even been given items that other people do not want. In turn I can do this for other people too.  The local auctions all have a FB page and other local FB pages give details about traffic conditions etc.  It is a good tool for many uses. 
    I do not get involved in the 'politics' behind the scenes, therefore I have no reason to leave it.

    I'm surprised you are into video games SM. I think video games are much worse than Facebook. I would never waste my time on such a 'pretend' life style. Fantasy worlds, voilence, crime, immorality, et al. My 27 year old son, that still lives at home with us, plays these horrible games. Unfortunately he has other problem and these games seem to help him, but it's all a pretend lifestyle.  Facebook is 'real', it's talking with real people about real things.

    Being a top expert generally means mastering 1 or at most 2 areas of a profession. Some people have the intellectual ability, but also some talent, to master several areas. For example, one JW elder was a mechanical engineer, talented in music, he directed, I think, all the dramas for congresses in some 20 years, he was an excellent listener and speaker and interlocutor. But, unfortunately, he raised his hand against himself in 2013 and violently ended his life. Sometimes I wonder how he would have reacted, had he stayed alive until 2015, to my exit from the Organization, because we felt one nice affection for each other.
    I am one of those who have a sense of various everyday practical skills, but at the same time I see the disadvantages of such an approach. But on the other hand, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find responsible and capable people who can do some work. Let’s say construction work, on repairing or renovating a house or roof. There is also the issue of money to pay for the works. Basically, being "your own master" is better than nothing.
    Perhaps Video Games should be created to help players master skills such as plastering a wall, laying ceramic tiles, electrical installations and the like.

    Well, the simplest explanation, as indicated by the principle of Ockham's Razor, is that you are a lizard with human skin (as in the "V" series).
    I hope your health does not suffer (too much) from lack of sleep, and so the rest of us enjoy your posts. (At least some of us)

    So says Witness who calims the Name Jehovah is a fraud.  I guess since Jesus means 'Jehovah is Salvation' yo must also claim Jesus is a fraud also?
    You have nothing to offer...

    This appears to be valuable information, more valuable than the word of God.  
    Titus 2:21 - "You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine."
    Titus 1:9 - "He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it."
    Looks like the GB is opposing sound doctrine with their dictatorial scare tactic.  They are essentially, opposing the word of God.  
    1 Tim 6:2-5 "This is the sort of thing you should teach, and if anyone tries to teach some doctrinal novelty which is not compatible with sound teaching (which we base on Christ’s own words and which leads to Christ-like living), then he is a conceited idiot! His mind is a morbid jumble of disputation and argument, things which lead to nothing but jealousy, quarrelling, insults and malicious innuendoes—continual wrangling, in fact, among men of warped minds who have lost their real hold on the truth but hope to make some profit out of the Christian religion."
    There it is.  What is more important, God's word - the doctrine of Jesus Christ -  or the words of men who don't seem to know the importance of the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ, and the necessity to adhere to only his doctrine.  
    At the end of the day in Wt. land, the words of men out rule the words of God and Jesus Christ.  Just watch, the majority of JWs will follow the impractical, when told to.

    I understand that the french word Carburetor (as in automobile fuel supply device) is a word when translated into English means "Don't mess with it!".
    ...and the Klingon word for "root beer" is pronounced "A&W".

    Seven Shepherds, Eight Dukes—What They Mean for Us Today The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom—2013   LESSONS FOR TODAY ....
    16. Who today are represented by (a) Jerusalem’s citizens (b) “the Assyrian” (c) the seven shepherds and eight dukes?
    16 .... (2) When “the Assyrian” attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that Jehovah will deliver us. (3) At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not ....

    …. I thought it significant, Dmitar, that you allude to the supposition that you are a lawyer at all, positively, but seem to take offense at being thought of as an EVIL lawyer.
    …… in Poker, your starting each post with “Friend,” is what is known by humans as a “tell”.

    Ha ha, you are so funny. You keep changing or adding AKA's and you keep deliberately twisitng most things I say.
    That doesn't make you a 'good Christian' does it ? Cunning and deciet. 
    And what's all this rubbish about you representing me in court ? I don't need you to represent me anywhere thank you. 
    I have no anger. What I have is a level head and fair scriptural knowledge. Why should i expect to be saved when I commit sin regularly ?
    The GB of JW Org also commit sin regularly but they expect to be 'lifted up' to a life with Christ in heaven.
    So tell me 'friend', who is the humble one ?  Have a good day.

    Then I don't see an equitable point to your argument if you are not willing to subject God's proper name from its original language. I also made a reference to LATIN, which you have not acknowledged. The presumption you are riding on is, not seeing that I'm referencing the proper use of God's personal name from the old style to the new style. Jehovah under the linguistic understanding is the MOST appropriate form, rather than YHWH or Yahweh, for modern usage;
    Jehovah Witnesses don't have a monopoly on God's name. From the original "pictograph" the Shepherds staff (J) should have stayed.
    Everyone here seems to demand quarrels. This is problematic for a civil discussion. Once again, my intent was not to make this quarrelsome.

    IF THE child of God would draw very near, and would have the blessed realization of the Father's smile of approval continually, he must seek to have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward men—a conscience which can truthfully say, I am striving to do that which would be pleasing to the Lord, that which is in full harmony with my covenant of sacrifice; and I am striving also to do that which would justly have the approval of righteous men.

    Friend, I have no idea what your problem is, please don't make whatever allies you're life, be part of mine. I wish no ill will against anyone. If you are a Christian, you need to work on your bitterness, and rudeness. If you are a Jehovah Witness, you bring shame upon your own organization. Is this your intent?

    If I was to defend you in a court of law, would this mean a "personal" experience or empathy for others that have been subjected to a crime. You are correct, Any wrongdoer needs to go before the courts. Can you personally prove in a court of law, those subjected to harm which you have empathy for, can be demonstrated by actual and legal evidence? Referencing internet banter is not evidence.
    Then you would have to accept, since your request is being met, there is no slander or wrongdoing, and that institution is correctly applying the UK data protection policy. Just like, when a person gets fired from a job, slander cannot be attached to how an institution deals with its internal decisions. An Active religious member can be dismissed for none compliance of that institution's bylaws.
    Can you personally prove CSA in a court of law in your behalf, and is that evidence under your care? However, I do not see where a legal proceeding would be inclined to hear "failed predictions" as evidence to CSA. Once again, do you have direct knowledge, this institution willfully withheld evidence in your case? Do you possess this evidence?
    If you don't, this is the type of argument that can be levied against you.
    This is painful to read friend. I hope your anger will not make this a true outcome.
