    If the law says to stay in doors during an epidemic or pandemic they should obey the laws of the land, if they don't then they deserve to get ill and suffer the consquenses. Like when Toronto and surrounding area was hit badly with SARS it was not allowable for anyone to leave their homes if a member in the family had it. Quarintine was in affect.

    But knowing JW's the way we do, some always try to get around it and disobey the law only to thier own chagrin.

    You can say that twice. However if they did inflict illness on someone they had better run.

    If there was a pandemic, how could someone prove that it was the one witness who came to the their door and not the stockclerk or cashier at the pharmacy who passed the disease along?

    That is why pandemic will work so well.

    All the JWs (and other superstitious people) will call it the "hand of god" annhilating all the bad sinners. Doubt they will ever come to the realization that germs are indiscriminate. But then, doesn't the scriptures say that "jehovah is no respecter of persons"? Maybe jehovah is a germ.

    Anyway, I think the shadow will see pandemic as a viable solution....no street protests, no one to blame, can't fight it with bullets...

    As far as JWs obeying a curfew, I am sure KH would instruct them to obey laws of the land. If there were a curfew, that means martial law would be in place, probably.

    They are required to be at boasting sessions and out in field circus when they have regular flu (and, with this latest Washtowel about not taking too good care of your health, that is only going to get worse).

    Even if they are not yet sick themselves, that would only make them want all the more to go out in field circus. There, they would run into people with severe flu. Their own immune systems are weakened by crap "food" all the time, not enough sleep, and excessive stress--perfect for getting the flu. Then they would spread it to carmates and those at the Kingdumb Hell while they are not yet sick, ensuring that all the witlesses that attend the boasting session get sick.

    In the meantime, the ones that are always missing boasting sessions and skipping field circus at the flimsiest excuses stay well. Which prompts a message from the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger that they are not doing enough and are not trusting in Jehovah (yea, like He would be happy to make people suffer endlessly just to test and retest and re-retest and re-re-retest and re-re-re-retest (and etc.) them. Those who drop out, at any point (whether the first or the billionth test) are deemed unfaithful--hence those who get the flu for that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag would feel superior to those who wisely refrained from spreading it from door to door.

    And I hope the witlesses also pick up a side of tuberculosis to go with it. That way, those who are in it for the power will get twice as sick, and suffer twice as much (along with a heavy dose of limitations on what they can do). Hopefully, all those in the top of the cult will get the worst flu imaginable along with a stiff dose of tuberculosis and AIDS. And croak.
