well--judging by the BBC news in the UK--it looks like the whole world is facing a major catastrophy--disease and deaths, economic chaos, break down of law and order.
what have you got to say--governing body ?. let the brothers have your words of wisdom.
i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses, but i can remember the excellent talks given by the above frank sartin, an elder and i think at one time a zone overseer in the lancashire area of the uk.
upon doing some research i read that he died back in 2015. .
does anyone else remember him?.
welcome to the site Xbro Blackwell.
of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.
all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.
people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.
hadnt seen you on here for ages KS--good to see you back.
a while back, we had a saturday wedding reception for a brother and sister from our kingdom hall.
the reception ended at midnight.
most of us got home at around 1:00 a.m. our sunday public talk meeting started at 9:30 a.m. .
i nodded off sat in a chair on the stage during the watchtower study meeting. i was the reader. but this was on a very warm sunday afternoon.
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.
48,000 people have recovered from corona virus. This is what should be all over the news.
my wife pimi wife said today...." the tribulation has started" i was like wtf... i know things are bad.
but...... we have had other pandamics and market crashes in the past.
1889: russian flu 360,000 perished.
thankfully my born in 3rd gen PIMI wife divorced me nearly 40 years ago. freedom from her and the crazy cult in one fell swoop. she has been shunning our son since he got d/f 10 years ago.

it turns out the lds church has about $38b in stocks and mutual funds from major companies such as apple, microsoft, amazon, walmart and others.
they also have numerous dummy corporations to hold assests with a combined value of $32b.
as a young kid--i can remember my mother getting a book of mormon from some guy who came to visit a few times; but she was also having visits from jw's as well.
in the end she went for the watchtower hard sell.
thanks mum.

so just what is the hook that gets new mormon members ? do they preach armageddon and a brave new world. a resurrection ? immortality ?
i think it was called "a mother's thoughts.
" it was a rather dreadful poem written from the viewpoint of a mom a few weeks after armageddon, reminiscing about her child that didn't survive.
in one part, the rebellious kid says, "i can take care of myself in snow, sleet or rain.
my ex wife would just love that.
its just warped.
