yeah, so boris johnson has plunged the whole of the uk back into a second lockdown.
kids are still going to school (thank goodness!
) but this second lockdown is ruining the economy and killing small businesses.. the first lockdown was forgivable because, at the time, nobody knew what we were dealing with.. but now, we know more and more about covid-19.. it is lethal to elderly people (the average age of deaths with covid in the uk is 82 years - the average age of deaths without covid in the uk is 81 years).. it is also lethal to obese people and people with diabetes.. i'd imagine hiv+ people are another vulnerable group.. but to everyone else, catching covid is fairly similar to catching the flu.
Here in the UK,. Of the 50,000 + covid deaths..the great majority were very elderly with underlying health problems, then the BAME ethnics, and the obese.
That number 50,000 is deaths from any reason where there was a positive test within the previous 28 days.
The median number of deaths over the last 20 years is about 600,000 a year.

The only person i know personally that tested positive was admitted to hospital with breathing difficulties three and a half weeks ago.
She was discharged home today.
i gotta say, i don't know much about the solar system.
i never was particularly interested in it.. but i've recently read professor brian cox's book (which accompanies a bbc series) and it's completely fascinating.. i'm quite interested in pictures of mars.
martian landscapes seem familiar and different at the same time ….
Looks like they beamed up Scotty.

What would you suggest Slim ?
guess that is the sort of person being attracted to the truth these days!.

So..to recap watchtower teachings.
If sutcliffe had never got the jw message....and recently died..he will get a resurrection..right ?
But sutcliffe did get the message..and got baptised..and recently died..so he will get a resurrection..right ?
Either way..he will get to meet his victims when they too are resurrected. I wonder if they will forgive him ?
It begs the question..why become a jw ?
On the other hand..if he had carried on living a bit longer..but not become a jw..he would be killed at armageddon..right ?
Please note the above watchtower teachings are subject to change without notice if new light is received.

Lhue..most of the population..me included..agree with you.
I also think its game over for Boris.
this topics get a great deal of discussion here.
what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.
wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?
I doubt if anyone under 40 knows anything about the jw cult. Most of that age and under have no interest in any religion.

Who knows..maybe the guvbod will have a rethink..and go for a re-make of the whole shebang.
Quietly lose the no blood doctrine..up to the individual conscience..with no repercussion.
Re think shunning..along the lines of shunning those who still attend while openly practicing sinful practices, not causing family splits when a family members decides the religion is no longer of interest to them...for now.
Do a lot more highly visible good works of benefit to the whole community...totally rethink the public perception.
Maybe there will be real growth..with new members who like what the watchtower does and want to be part of it. Not through fear but rather through real love.
horse racing lengths vary from just a couple of furlongs to several hundred miles, if you count the mongolian derby.
in britain, horse racing rules state that races should be over a minimum of five furlongs, while the longest race is over 4m2½f.. .
nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.
Yep..when i finally cut any remaining tie to the cult..my soon to be ex wife told me i had no future.
That was 40 years ago.
