ComputersRe: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by try69: 6:54am On Dec 18, 2012
I need opinions or rather help on this.
My laptop went black one day I put it ON and I had to put it OFF and ON several times before it display rightly again and I used it several days without the issue and I thought it was done only for me to put it on again after some days of non-usage and it went back to a black screen but I can hear the windows start up tone, I put if OFF and ON again severally and it came back ON with good display. My friend thinks the screen is bad or is trying to get bad.
My question is; if the screen is bad, why does it come up after a while, I thought when its bad its bad.
If it's not the screen, then what could be the possible cause cos the lapi is just a few months old.

Christianity EtcRe: Is It Right For Jonathan To Kneel At Redeemed Camp by try69: 3:45pm On Dec 16, 2012
Are xtians suppose to insult some one guilty of an "offence"(personal opinion to me)like that committed by OP? If insults were punches, OP would be in intensive care by now. Well, I have my contributions

1. All you who say he was not kneeling before adeboye but God, should never criticize catholics for praying before a "holy" image or picture again cos they are not praying to or worshiping the image.

2. Weather it is right to kneel before adeboye or not does change the fact that the government is not working.

3. What if this could be some propaganda because I know how religious matters could easily get to Nigerians.(I'm seeing it here already)

4. Weather GEJ prays before the public eye or not, a bad government remains a bad government.

Thank you
PoliticsRe: Azazi, Yakowa Die In Helicopter Crash? by try69: 8:48am On Dec 16, 2012
tajikwan411: @ try69, why are u so religious about this matter? you are so behind time to comment in this forum. Lets ask ourselves some frank questions:

why must anyone airborne a military aircraft if not on a military mission?

is a burial ceremony visit a military mission?

why should a military aircraft be airborne by people order than trained military personnel?

please note, whenever a military aircraft is airborne, it must be on a mission, so the air is now jinx for all the big fish who will be flying until the right thing is done on our roads, more of the dignitaries will die, because Nigerians are raining curses on them and Almighty God is just, so they will die with their billions!
oga, azazi was a General and yakowa was a serving governor
I don't understand what you mean by "religious", did muslims tell you they support BH?
Reports coming in says the copter exploded in the air before coming down,now what do you say about that?
Muslims in KD are saying yakowa was not a bigot..so when I say BH, I mean a terrorist group and not muslims

The History Of The Watchtower Reveals the Sources of Mental Problems

Jehovah's Witnesses were organized in the late 1800's by Charles Taze Russell, a second Adventist disappointed in the failed prophecies of his fellow religionists. He soon reinterpreted these prophesies and set his own new dates. He first taught the time of the end started in 1798 (latter changed to 1799), that Christ had returned invisibly in 1878 (latter changed to 1874), and that a new world wherein the righteous would dwell forever on a paradise Earth would begin in 1914.[1] With his father's fortune, Russell preached tirelessly, yet when he died only a small band of followers existed as a result of all his efforts.

The second president, a lawyer named Rutherford, used his law background to create one confrontation after another with the state and almost everyone else including business, medicine and even religion. Soon Jehovah's Witnesses became infamous throughout the world for their legal clashes which often involved violence.[2] A fighter with no small legal skills, Rutherford recruited several other attorneys and the Watchtower soon had themselves positioned as martyrs. The small band of devoted--some would say fanatical--followers, they achieved something that no amount of money could buy: name recognition, and, at least in the legal profession, an admiration for their legal success and tenacity.

The third president, N.H. Knorr, ruled from the 1950s to the 1970s. He toned down their behavior and worked tirelessly to modify their public image from fanatics to quiet, determined Christians fearlessly going about their work preaching the good news of the Watchtower's kingdom. Pushing numerical growth to the exclusion of almost everything else including the health of individual Witnesses, his policies paid off. Except for the 1975 fiasco, growth has usually been steady. 1975 was their third recent major prediction for Armageddon, the other two were 1914 and 1925 which caused upward of one million people to eventually leave the sect.[3] They have carefully cultivated a public image of a God fearing devoted people, determined to ferret out God's truth from the scriptures and live their lives fully according to them. Behind this facade lies a nightmare which resulted in a rash of mental illness and social problems considerably higher than that found in virtually every American religion. The reasons for the Watchtower tragedy are complex and can only briefly be explored in this short review.

 

The Scientific Research

Especially since the 1975 date (which was predicted to usher in God's kingdom on earth) failed, the numerous problems in the Watchtower congregations have received much mass media and scholarly attention. Most intensively studied problems include disfellowshipping, doctrinal disputes, and their recurring prophetic speculation failures. [4] Witness mental health issues have also been examined by many investigators.[5]

The writer, as a former Witness for over twenty years, was extensively involved in various administrative levels of the organization. This gave him first hand access to information relating to most social and bureaucratic aspects of the Watchtower. He has also used his decade of extensive clinical experience with Witnesses and an extensive literature review as a basis for his evaluation. Outsiders have limited access to inside information, and for this reason are forced to rely on official publications, all of which are viewed by Witnesses as quasi-inspired.[6] The literature reveals eight academic studies which explored the problem of Witness mental illness. These will be briefly reviewed by year, the oldest first.

 

The Rylander Study

Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Rylander investigated a sample of conscientious objectors imprisoned in Sweden. Of the 135 randomly selected cases, fully 126 were Witnesses. Of these 126, Rylander diagnosed 51 as neurotic, 42 psychotic, 32 as mentally retarded, and 5 as brain-damaged (some overlap exists because some cases were in two or more categories).[7] Diagnosis was made solely on the basis of behavior that was clearly pathological, such as irrational paranoia or severe long term depression, and not behavior that resulted from following Watchtower doctrine as non-social involvement with the non-Witnesses. Rylander also concluded from the subjects' medical records and his interviews that their pathological state was not uncommonly evident before conversion, but that the Watchtower's' influence was often detrimental to mental health, sometimes severely so.

About four percent of the eligible armed service Swedish population were judged psychologically "unfit" for military services. The corresponding figure for Witnesses was twenty-one percent, or a rate five times greater. This was very close to the same ratio found by Spencer [8] whose diagnosis of "psychotic" or "neurotic" was made on the basis of mental hospital admission screening. Few of the cases in Rylander's study were marginal Witnesses, and most were actively involved in the Watchtower. Rylander concluded that many of those he studied lacked an education, job skills, emotional stability, and quality social relations. Unsatisfactory employment records often existed because of psychological deficiencies, lack of ability or immaturity. Rylander found that Witnesses committed "...a relatively large number of small crimes and other misdemeanors which generally resulted only in a fine...three [Witnesses] have been imprisoned for stealing or harboring of stolen property, and 36 have been fined for various offenses (traffic violations, drunkenness, unlawful selling of alcohol, poaching, unlawful entering, etc.)" [9]

Neurotic symptoms commonly found in his sample included "feelings of discomfort, general anxiety, poor sleep habits, times of brooding over what they see as the meaninglessness of life, the wrongs they have suffered and the mistakes they have made." [10] Rylander noted that the Watchtower doctrine helped some adherents to explain "all of their problems in life, and has given them a satisfaction and calmness which has brought a measure of stability to their lives." [11]

He also concluded that individual Witnesses tended to be burdened with a variety of serious concerns and often joined the sect in an effort to solve their many problems. Although the results of this study are not fully applicable to today's situation, many of his conclusions are still largely true. [12] A major difference between his sample and today is that the Witnesses are now more middle-class and less socially rejected. Many Witnesses, though, especially those living in developing nations, still experience many of the same problems that Rylander reported.

Christianity EtcRe: Is the Catholic Church the One And Only True Church? by try69: 10:06pm On Dec 08, 2012
seriallink: How would you feel when you are arguing with someone and he/she tells you that his/her church is the only true church? Doesn't that kinda condemn other denominations and christians? I created this thread because most of these folks back up their claims with the passage I quoted in my OP.

I'm not a church goer, but I'm a Christ follower who believes He died for the sins of mankind and says he who believe in Him shall be saved (John 3:16).

So my friend, this thread is not in any way against anyone's faith in Christ or meant to bash anyone! You need to stop believing in the ideas that your 'Church is the most favoured or the only true Church' because your comment strongly suggests you are in support of that!
You infuriated these guys when you said they actually said other denominations are hell-bound and they truly dealt with you with good points.

I hate baseless argument, but favour arguments with good points which you failed to deliver.

Next time start a thread you can defend well..good 9te

1. Does he pay his 10 percent and who manages it cos I think it would be huge?

2. how will the church run when he dies cos I know most of you follow the man and not the "church".

3. Is it ok for a MOG to acquire 4 private jets worth over $60 million dollars plus more money for upkeep when even warren buffet once the world's richest man dosen't have?

4. Will you accept his wife as the next bishop when he dies cos I believe that's what will happen judging from the idahosa experience..

5. Some of you say he does good in "hiding" and I ask; "do good deeds hide?"
Since this criticism started, I have not seen people coming to say they benefited from whatever charity organisation or job he embarked upon.

Please spare me the "touch not my anointed" thing cos when doctrines started emanating causing too many "christ following" sects, nobody said this to the "break-aways".

BOMANY: Ben Ali, Qaddafy, Mubarak, Asad are nothing but bloody tyrants. I thought we are done with this.
Qaddafy hanged thousands of peaceful protesters including university students without lawful trial. He hanged them either in the stadium or the university. A decade before the revolution.
Mubarak imprisoned more than 100 thousands along his 30 years tenure without trial; in fact he ignored thousands of court decisions to release most of them.
Asad is killing his people as his father did in 1980 when he bombed the revolution.
Moreover, All of them turned their countries into family business. Their wives, sons or relatives gained billions of dollars illegally.
Abeg tell them cos they sure don't get what freedom means..in as much as I know the west chooses whom to and whom not to dine with based on the economic gains, most of their support for "FREEDOM" is a perfect good.
PoliticsRe: Fashola, Mimiko, Oshiomole Or Okorocha: Who Is The Best Governor? by try69: 4:28pm On Dec 02, 2012
What I can deduce from this thread is

1. Most of the arguments are based on hear-say, making them seem "lame" to a realist.

2. Some governors are only endorsed cos of so much media hype.

3. No set standards for the argument and so it's just moving here and there.

But they say behind every rumour, there is a truth atom and so for some of these governors to be mentioned, means there is a step-up in governance in their various states.
Truth is, whatever policies a democratic government makes, there must always be some opposition. Fashola bans okada and someone says that's why he cannot become presidents only leaves you shaking your head @ how shallow the persons faculty can relate to trends. Plus the training a doctor argument another guy made which from the "fashola" angle is kinda correct because its illogical to say a doc can be trained on 25k.

As much as capital projects are geared at long-term betterment, the okorocha's education policy is laudable. I wonder why one will argue for technical or vocational studies as if schools don't have such departments which if same okorocha looks at and develop, will go a long way to better the "minds" and "hands" of the trainees or students per say. If you say free education is no good policy,then you'll need to check out what's happening up north.

Btw, the Nigerian media needs to do more on information dissemination.
