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 we are--3 months later--almost 110,000 here in the UK have now died within 28 days of a positive covid test. Thats double the number at the start of this thread.
over recent years--the average morbity rate is .9%--so about 600,000 deaths each year.
thats about 1643 deaths each day--from all causes.
covid is currently claiming about 1400 a day.
covid aint going anywhere--except mutating.

( i have to as my wife is a dyed -in - the wool, and stick-in-the mud pioneer witness.

10 million bible studies and 200 000 baptisms.
how many of these would be jw kids with no choice?
Back before 1975. When i was still in, it was not uncommon for couples with kids of their own, to start association and even get baptised..but in most cases they were born ins that had never got baptised...left as teenagers ..sowed their oats and came back in to survive armageddon. Of course that date threat no longer works.
when i was a kid in the late sixties the type of books we would study was very intense compared to the bull shit pablum that they put out today?
i mean the finished mystery and others now its these stupid books that don't dive deep into the beliefs.
.
can anyone remember the big pink paradise book ? That was the one i had to "study" as a kid.
Years later i heard it was originally published for use in Africa....

4 but abel brought a gift of the first-born of his flocks and of the fat parts.
the lord showed favor to abel and his gift.
its sad to think that the bible starts with a childs fairy story--which is, lets face it, a pack of lies.
