from health and science in the week august 14, 2020. page 21.
"scientists know that face masks can prevent infected people from spreading the corona-virus to others.
now research suggests that masks can also protect uninfected wearers, by reducing the risk they'll get seriously ill from the virus--or even catch it in the first place.. virologists suspect that people wearing face coverings inhale fewer airborne viral particles, making it easier for their immune system to fight and defeat the intruders.. in one seafood plant in oregon where masked were widely used, 90% of all cases were asymptomatic.. likewise, the asymptomatic rate was above 80 percent on a cruise ship where passengers were issued masks.".
This is an interesting concept I haven't heard before, namely, that wearing a mask results in asymptomatic contraction followed by immunity. The question though now is:
Is asymptomatic contraction already likely with or without masks, because correlation isn't causation?
the watchtower—study edition | august 2020. study article 32. walk humbly and modestly with your god.
jesus is depicted in the heavens.
next to him stand some of his co-rulers.
No angels or anointed with dark skin tones
Excellent point! What would be the justification for that? They say the white hair signifies age and wisdom, but why only Europeans?
during covid-19 crisis our hall decides to double the amount sent to hq from our local account.
the resolution is unanimously supported, no questions asked.
has anyone else had this happen?.
Yes, that happened in my congregation too. The new amount was double the previous one, but they said it so fast I don't know if anybody noticed. Nobody asked questions and it passed. Interesting to know this is happening everywhere.
a while back i came across an article that provides an illustration of a student challenging his teacher.anyways article went on to say the teacher should allowed the student to prove its point.
any help would be appreciated..
It's also worth noting that the Bible Teach book has been officially replaced by the Teach Us book as the primary study aid . . . And this new version omits that illustration. Gee, I wonder why?
sweden didn't lock down and are doing well.
so with the unified pro-lockdown message the jws are promoting, how are they handling things in that country?
are they still having meetings but keeping it quiet?
Sweden didn't lock down and are doing well. So with the unified pro-lockdown message the JWs are promoting, how are they handling things in that country? Are they still having meetings but keeping it quiet? I realize they have a vested interest in the plandemic as it always helps with the last days thing.
PS: This is yet another example of JWs having more in common with liberals than conservatives. At a recent midweek meeting the congregation went beyond even what the GB said and were badmouthing those who don't wear masks.
an experience from the latest magazine.
only in jehovah's organization!

An experience from the latest magazine. Only in Jehovah's organization! . . . Oh wait.
Jovica, quoted earlier in this series of
articles, grew up hearing his countrymen,
the news, and television programs give
negative reports about a minority group.
“I became filled with prejudice—and even
hatred—for those people,” he says. “And
I thought I was completely justified in
feeling that way.
“However, while in the army, I had no
choice but to live and work with fellow
soldiers from that minority group. In time,
I learned more about them. I even started
to learn their language and to listen to
their folk songs. I began to have pleasant
dealings with them, and I started to view
them differently.

with the virus thing going on, there's more tv time here in the rub a dub household.. watching jaws for the 20th time still is fun.
then all the killer stingray, whales and other sea creatures is interesting.. we watched moby's dick last night.
it's an old classic like jaws.
I saw most of Jaws years ago but want to see it again all the way through. (As well as 2, 3D and 4)

at this link there are a couple pdfs with lists of farms that food is being bought from.
we all know how tricky wt can be, especially when it comes to money, so i'm just wondering if they may be one of the contractors at one of their still remaining farms going under another name, and getting paid millions to distribute all this food across the country.

(Local JWs are also being urged to contribute for the 'arrangement', so that would add even more to their profit.)
