Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Our pantry and freezer is still full from last year garden. Lots of dry bean, rice and flour. My wife being a herbalist we have a cabinet full of wild and cultivated herbs, herbal teas and tinctures. Because of the warm winter our stinging nettles patch is coming up which is one of the best superfoods to drink or eat. Gardening season is about to start.

Our governor of ny spoke today and he was not very positive on beating the virus curve. We just do not have enough doctors, nurses, hospitals space or man power to make up the difference. I hope he's wrong but he explained it in a way that was very understandable. I am hearing this may be a 6 month ordeal before we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If that does happen what will our economy look like? Let's hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. Take care all. Still Totally ADD

Can single sisters get Breast Augmentation?

by friedchicken in

i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?

will the elders disfellowship her?

will jehovah be angry with her or upset?

Still Totally ADD

Medically they can't say anything. Such as breast removal due to cancer. Many women have breast augmentation to balance their figure. Also some women have such large breast they have them reduced because of back problems. Besides it none of the elders business what a women does with their breast. But then again it's a cult and women have very little rights in a cult. Still Totally ADD

At 3pm today President Trump will declare a national emergency due to the coronavirus. How things have changed. In our little town churches are closing indifently. Schools are looking into closing and our home and garden show which we are part of has been canceled. That hurts our pocket book. Try to find toilet paper at the stores! It's the dumbest things I've ever seen. Also got instruction from our doctor portal on what to do if you have flu like symptoms or other illnesses. Things seem to be ramping up. Still Totally ADD

tom hanks said on wednesday that he and his wife, rita wilson, learned they had the coronavirus.

the 63-year-old academy award-winning actor is in australia, where he was set to film a movie about the life of elvis presley.. “hello, folks.

I just heard it on the news. They are in Australia where it is summer. Which bedunks when it gets warm it will stop. Now they may have brought it with them or they may have gotten it there I do not know. My understanding is it may be 100 times worse here than the count number of 1,100 that is given. We need the test kits now. Be safe everyone and good luck to all. Still Totally ADD

How Are JWs Affected By The Coronavirus?

will meetings and conventions be canceled?

the ministry?

shepherding calls, get togethers?

Still Totally ADD

I can't help it but they will be told to trust in Jehovah and go out more in field service to spread the virus, I mean the good news then make sure you don't miss any meeting so everyone is full of virus, I mean holy spirit. Lol.

Most likely they will take prudent action so everyone is safe. But after all they believe this is the time of the end and there will be a resurrection and they will live forever in a paradise earth. In other words your guess is as good as mine. Still Totally ADD

The Holy Spirit

by Acer21 in

if the holy spirit is an "active force", how can it be grieved (ephesians 4:30)?.

in other words, according to the jw's, one can make jehovah's "force" sorrowful?

this is an example of how the jw leaders have perverted the gospel in translation, and have put the jw's in a position in which they must perform intellectual gymnastics in order to maintain their false position.

Still Totally ADD

Caves so sorry for what you went through. Been there done that but at the age of 53 all the shit I went through finally came to my mind with all the emotions. That's when the healing began for me. My hope is this will help you to heal from what you went through. It's bad enough we survived the cult but also had to survive sexual abuse. To one survivor to another take care. When it comes to holy spirit I feel the same way you do. Still Totally ADD

The governor of NY had declared a state of emergency. This will free up 30 million dollars for testing and what ever comes along. Still Totally ADD

The famous liars

by days of future passed in

i was talking with my sister and the subject of the wt using rahab as an exemplary example of theocratic warfare which is of course, lying.

when the wt uses her, they fail to highlight the fact that she was a temple prostitute and an unbeliever when she "saved" the spies.. i said you know, the wt doesn't use the most famous liar as an example.

that would be peter of course.
