  Don't forget to take Sauerkraut for COVID-19 ?

  fermented foods may lower your risk of covid-19 death.

  countries that consume higher amounts of traditionally fermented foods have lower covid-19 mortality rates.

  according to german researchers, significant changes in the microbiome caused by modern life and low fermented food consumption may have increased the spread or severity of the disease.

  just think--if none of the congregation put their hands in their pockets--the elders would have to. soon be no elders..then soon after--no congregation.

  Are You Afraid of Contracting The Covid Virus?

  thankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!

  i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.

  they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

  i think a lot more people already have it--without knowing. therefore--we will all get it sooner or later: its fatal in those who over-react to it.

  Here in the UK the reported death numbers are misleading: of those that have died, have died with the virus in their body..but its not the cause of their death. Mostly its just old age.

  i also think its been around a lot longer than since late last year.

  ELM - Elderly Lives Matter

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. social
  2. current

  i believe a light has to be shown on the elderly, forget blm.

  sure, blacks are being mistreated by law enforcement at times, but there are hundreds of millions of people on a daily basis having no regard for the elderly by not wearing masks in the middle of a pandemic.

  they believe the elderly have to be casualties for the economy and getting normalcy back.

  ok buddha--i'll bite.

  basically--youre right.

  here in the UK there are--what--100's of 1000's of over 70's in care homes. many are fully funded by the state--even though they own their own homes and have some savings. so--yes they are a drain on the economy.

  the upside is the healthcare sector gives employment to at least the same number: a 20 bed care home could easily have more than that number of staff.

  so if all those old folks give up the ghost there will be a corresponding rise in unemployment.

  for the record--i'm 72, and am married to a much younger woman--who is the manager of a care home. aint i the lucky one.

  Jehovah's house for Sale?

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when i drive by the kingdom hall i grew up attending at but, was sold directly to a church, i get angry.

  the elders who handled the sale didn't even remove the watchtower shaped bricks on each side of the sign near the street so, now they advertise for a baptist church.

  how many times as i grew up i heard things like: you should not do work ( such as clean carpets for a church) you wouldn't want to work at a cigarette making plant or a facility that makes bombs for the military.

  Using gods name

  i've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

  i used to get seriously pissed off every time i heard "jehovah god". its not his first and last name--like john smith.. but then if someone seriously believes in a gigantic invisible man in the sky, they are capable of believing anything.
