Many, many years ago I came across "The C.H. Spurgeon Collection" for a super bargain basement price - so I grabbed it. Now I am not a huge Spurgeon fan, but I can appreciate his body of work. When we upgraded the church computer, we went to a 64bit system, and it seems as though no matter what I do, the Ages software will not load. I have downloaded the PDF's from the disk (that is the storage format), but the beauty of the software is that it gives a great index system. I can print the index, but then have to go and find the individual PDF files - painful...…. (21st century problems hey?! 🙄) So, any of you pooter gurus know of any way to get t…

I uploaded a "Ubuntu 18.04. LTS Bionic Beaver" OS onto my desktop to replace my Linux Mint 19.1 OS. So far so good. Anybody else out there use Ubuntu?

I do use two OS's on my computers. 1. Linux 19.1 2. Windows 10. Version 1803. Due to automatic windows updates, Windows took away my version 1803 and installed the new November 2019 update, Windows 10 version 1909. Among other problems, the following was terrible. 1. The update took away my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail system. I had to re-install it. 2. The update took away my Corel Video Ultimate 2018 video creator. I had to re-install it. 3. Worst of all, it replaced my Windows Office Home & Student 2016 and replaced it with the a version that will only allow me to even look at my documents using One Drive. Now, I cannot use my Offi…

Does anyone here attend a church that has its own Android/iphone app for its members? It the day and age that we live in, it seems more and more common that churches are using different forms of technology. If your church has its own app, Do you find it beneficial/helpful? What size is the church? Did you stop printing paper bulletins and go digital? Did it increase the tithing/offering?

Hello, I would just like to share this new online resource I found to the group. I think it's quite nice and the features look good so it might be of help to anyone who wants to start their own website and spread the Good Word. It's called the hPage website builder. You can create a free website there but if you want the upgraded features, there's a package for that as well. Check them out here: Create a free website - hPage.com

Ever get scammed into one of those "calls" or know someone who did? http://www.pearltrees.com/awhn/the-loud-cry-revelation-14-12/id5277051 Ever know anyone who was scammed into allowing a person on the other end of a phone access to your computer, and then after you got suspicious, or agitated, they immediately "syskey'ed" your windows computer, and now you are permanently locked out of your own computer unless you pay a ransom fee to the very persons who hijacked you? Well, I actually have such a story, and I have a pretty simple solution that worked for a relative of mine, who came to me with their now 'Syskey'ed' machine, Microsoft tablet. I took th…

I wish to install Bible software for Linux. I do have a DVD with the OnlineBible, which says it will install under Wine, but when I try to install it to USB stick it says I don't seem to have administrative rights for that operation of that drive. I looked on some websites and one recommended Sword (It said the Linusx version was Xiphos) or Word. Has anybody tried either of these? How would I download and install one of these. PS The laptop mentioned in my previous thread just went click and failed again. It worked for a month, but I didn't use it every day.

I have a new laptop and seemed to have visited an undesirable site as I get programs taking over my browser, so much that it is almost unusable. Some of these are in the form of questionaires purporting to be from from genuine programs I have installed such as my my internet supplier, others seem to be adverts, and others undesirable. Well they are all undesirable, but you get my meaning. I need to get rid of these. On a previous computer when I had the same problem I contacted our local computer repairer and he said use two programs, one was Rkill but I forgot the other. I can't remember which order he said use them. I tried contacting him Wednesday but he seems …

Hello, I am currently working on a Macedonian Christian website called Hristos.MK (Hristos = Christ) and I am in a need of a good logo, but am not really good at graphic design, so I would like to ask you if you can make a logo for me. I need it in two dimensions: 60x45 (without text) and 240x180 (with text) The logo can have a cross, a bible, and/or an ichtus symbol (fish). The text should be this: ХРИСТОС.МК (it is in cyrillic letters) Thank you in advance, God bless!

Some months ago, I spilt a cup of coffee over my other (newer) laptop. The lid was closed but the PC died straight away. I stood it on end and about 24 hrs later I tried it again and it worked for about 30 minutes then just died again, I tried a number of times over that period but it did not work. Also tried my local repair man from time to time, but couldn't contact him This evening I plugged it in and it booted up. It seemed to work but was very slow. I have left it charging in the other room. It may peck up later. All my files are on it which I thought I had lost, I will have to back them up.

As some here may know, I'm a Linux OS user. For anyone who may be a Linux user, and you've wanted to try Arch, but you didn't feel comfortable or ready to attempt installing Arch...this might be for you. If you're new to Linux, DON'T install Arch, or you'll be doing a lot of this --> Arch is sort of like the pinnacle of Linux. I won't go into all of the details, because unless you're familiar with Linux (and Arch), it won't mean much to you. Just know that an Arch installation isn't easy! I've tried several of the "easy" installers...Pacbang, Architect, and Antergos. They were all easy (compared to a regular Arch install), with Antergos being the easiest way to g…

No Nicolaitans or Brethren, I am in the process of learning how to draw charts, or in computer language I found out, to 'diagram' the charts for the Revelation Study. One of the reasons (I am finding out), why it takes so long to learn how to operate a computer is that you need to learn computer terminology. The computer software I am will be using, is the Linux 5.0.3 LibreOffice Draw diagram program. Thus far I can draw some basic circles, insert text, insert colors, draw boxes and lines; but, not much else. For example: I can delete the boxes, color and text, but the instructions do not tell me how to delete the connecting lines to the boxes. Nor have I, so fa…

Hi everyone! I would like your prayers. As I've mentioned before, I use theWord Bible software. I've also mentioned using the dictionary Robert Cawdrey's "A Table Alphabeticall" as a study aid. It was released in 1604 and can assist in what some words (used in the King James) meant at that time. As I've looked through it, It's truly amazing at how some definitions have changed since then. I'm in the process of trying to make "A Table Alphabeticall" into a module for theWord, and I then hope to make it freely available to other users. It's a daunting task, and it will take some time to do since my time is so limited. However, I think it's worth the effort an…

Brethren, I am trying to create a website. My computer is Windows 7, and tried to use Windows Word, Office 2010, but, after trying I find that it is not suitable and cannot find good instructions for the creating of navigation buttons and links. Maybe a good web tutorial would help? Any recommendations? So, after searching the internet it was suggested that I get Word Publisher. But, I am told that is limited also and the only software I can buy, here on Taiwan, is a Chinese edition software, and the software has a one year agreement that must be renewed every year. If I buy the English edition of the Publisher softweare over the internet I think it woul…

Years have passed since my first adventure into Linux operating systems. I started out with Ubuntu. As my knowledge of Linux grew, I delved into other "Ubuntu-based" operating systems. That led me to Debian...which required a trifle bit more user-experience in order to make things work. In turn, I then went on to use even more "user-experienced" Linux operating systems...from Slackware, BSD's, Arch, and I also tried a brief stint with Gentoo (which makes Arch look like a wannabe). As my knowledge grew, I built and made available Ubuntu and Debian-based systems for others to use. It's been a grand adventure! All of that to say this... I'm back to Ubuntu, and…

My question is I want this to be a free site but want to be able to cover hosting and other costs associated with maintaining the sites. I've tried google ads with little success. Do you guys have any other suggestions. We will soon be adding www.TennesseeBaptistChurch.com as well. Thanks so much.

Every so often, while the computer is idle, the mouse will freeze up (no, it's not too cold!). The only way I have found to restore its function is to unplug the mouse from the back of the tower and plug it back in. Any idea what is causing this? Any other ways to fix this other than what I've been doing?

BroMatt and OnlineBaptist website administrators/designers: I'm posting this on behalf of another poster, Ronda. Her IP has been locked out of the OnlineBaptist forum for one week, as of Thursday, December 24, 2015. I sent a message to the website administration notifying them of this problem on Saturday, December 26, 2015. I sent this notification through the "Contact Us" at the bottom of each forum page. As of this date, neither Ronda nor I have received a response. Ronda would appreciate if someone would email her and let her know that you are aware of this problem and that you will be working on a resolution. Thank you LindaR

I have an old laptop running Windows Vista and there is a search engine called Conduit Search that has appeared and I believe it is malicious. There is and associated prog called Search Protect. It seems these are difficult to remove and will reinstall themselves if you don't get them all removed, Does anyone know of anyway to remove these? I did find something called Spy Hunter which claimed to remove this but I was a bit doubtful about that. Any ideas about how I can remove it?

When I highlight anything on my laptop it often does not actually select it till I click on it, other times it does. Also it sometimes selects things when I dont do anything but move my pointer. It does that when I am trying to do something else, then deletes text I was trying to edit. I am using Win 10 but it was the same when I used Win 7. It doesn't happen on our church laptop. Any suggestions?

While I have not been able to get out much in the last month, I watched a number of YouTube videos of how to play hymns on various instruments. One site played and sang hymns on various instruments and invited you to join in and play with them. You could also download the music with a melody line and chords. I didn't like a lot of the hymns they had. But you could choose which you watched and downloaded. One instrument they used was the Autoharp. Well I have an Autoharp which I have hardly got out for about 20 years but watching those videos encouraged me to get it out and have a play. I bought a new electronic tuner and tuned it up and played some of their downloa…

Create a new folder on your Windows desktop, save it with the name "Essential-Tools.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}", minus the quotes. (you can substitute "Essential-Tools" for any hyphenated phrase you wish) The folder will change icons, and when you click on it, you'll see every configuration option available in the control panel. That's the real power of the Windows 7 Essential Tools Folder —it takes all the toggles you have to dig through the control panel menus and sub-menus to get to, and puts them right in one master list. It's worth trying out Essential Tools Mode just to see settings you may not have even been aware of.

We all want a fast web browser...right? Well, I think that I've found the fastest one that I've ever tried; Slimjet. It's built off of the open-source Chromium platform (which Google Chrome is built from), so it's basically Google Chrome...only faster! I've been using this browser for a few days, and I absolutely love it! The only drawback that I've found is that it's only available for Windows right now, but versions for Mac and Linux are in the works. Here's the link if you're interested --> http://www.slimjet.com/en/

To block GPS signal, it is much more difficult than just blocking a radio signal with basic radio interference. There are many places where we need to disable GPS device. If you were tracked by bad guy who put a GPS device in your car, do you want to block it? When GPS jammer has been created (specifically by the government, military organizations and spy or privacy gadget companies), most people do not have the technical capabilities to create their own home made device. At the beginning, the GPS Jammers were built for military uses, for example, to confuse the enemy on where their exact location is or where the enemies GPS guided missiles or bombs will fall. However, …

I've finally found a FREE office suite that is a true replacement for Microsoft's Office. I've tried Libre and Apache OpenOffice, but I recently discovered this Kingsoft. It looks and acts almost exactly like Word. It only comes with a word processor, spreadsheet, and power point maker, so you don't get as much as you do with Libre and OpenOffice; however, if you want a free program that mirrors Microsoft's products...this is it! One of my biggest prOBlems with Libre and OpenOffice was their lack of an eraser in their table tools. Just like Microsoft Word, Kingsoft has one. It can be used on Windows, Linux, and mOBile devices; however, I don't think it can be use…

You've put a lot of thought & Scripture into a post & you lose it - especially if you're using a mOBile or kindle app. Despair - can I do all that again? Don't despair - the forum has been carefully saving your post every few minutes. You can simply go to the "reply to post" again & you will see an offer to reload the saved version. Reload, & you will find most of your typing is still there. Or, of course, you can type your reply in your word processor & copy & paste.

I've spent HOURS looking for an audio player to put on a website that I can use for an audio Bible. I've tried several, but seeing as I'm no HTML expert, I can't figure out how to get them to work on a Weebly site. Does anyone know of an audio player (with List capability) that you can simply upload MP3 files into (not MP3 URLs) and then simply put it on a website with an embed code? I found a couple that will do that, but they only allow a few hundred MBs...the audio Bible is 1.2 GBs. I'd prefer something free ...but I'd be willing to pay if it will do what I've described. As of now, I've uploaded the audio Bible to the Internet Archive site, and I'm u…

Last Saturday night I started running off our church bulletin & my printer went out. It was a Kodak printer, 3200. The only place around here to buy a printer is Walmart. So to Walmart I went They had one Samsung SCX-340W Laser printer, & of course some HP & another brand of printers. The Kodak, I believe I've had it for about 2 years, & I've never been happy with it. It not only uses the B&W cartridge printing black, but the color one too, & when the color cartridge runs out it will not print B&W. All I've been printing is B&W & it seemed every other month or even less I had to buy a new color cartridge at the cost of a bit o…

Gene Kim Teaches hyper-dispensational salvation and is into Jewish fables. Has some good stuff but tends to do click-bait teaching. He boarders on the heretical. I don't recommend him as a bible teacher. Someone like Brother James Knox or Bro. Douglas Stauffer would be much better for general teaching and online preaching. James Knox Website: https://jameswknox.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZPl1MeGSxe2ocXZPgbsfw Douglas Stauffer Website: https://www.bibledoug.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/docdoug4/videos -
I like him. He has one video about the line of bible believers since the time of the so-called "Ante-Nicene Fathers". It's about 2 1/2 hrs long. Good stuff. Some might dismiss him because he's a "Ruckmanite" but he's really mild compared to Dr. Ruckman. -
He apparently had some knowledge of the Christianity of those days though probably one based off of heretical views. He claimed to receive his vision from the angel Gabriel. His first wife was possibly a Roman Catholic who spent time in a convent. Wikipedia used to attest to this but has since scrubbed it out and locked down her entry. Alberto Rivera claimed she was though many doubt a lot about what he claimed. She had two cousin's who were Nestorian priests one of them being a convert of Muhammad and some have suggested he may have ghost written the Quran since Muhammad was illiterate. Muhammad did have one wife who was definitely a Coptic Christian. I find it interesting also that Yasser Arafat's widow is Roman Catholic.

I made a general statement. I did not specify a party or person. So, I am not sure where in the you are coming from in you rant. Try to understand. If you live in a democracy and you do not keep up with the changing populace you are on your way to a footnote in history. You and I may or may not like how the country is changing, but it is changing and we'd best learn how to live in this new world. It is like my life. As I experience a health change I have a choice, rant and rage because I have changed or look at the new ballpark I am now in and adapt to the new set of rules so I can continue to have a good life. I will not get into specifics on politics. Nothing is accomplished. I do look at the big picture and make conclusions on what I see ahead. Blessings to you and yours.
