interesting.
just reported today that 560 were laid off at trump's doral resort / golf club here in the miami area.
up the road from me, one of trump's major resorts (the one he plays golf at a lot) is laying off most of the staff.. i am surprised since there is that federal support for businesses that if you don't lay off your employees, you get government support.
Or he could just apologize or "clarify" what he meant about the Mexicans. He was clearly over the top on that one, but I also think everybody's rush to be politically correct and distance themselves from a perfectly legitimate business because the owner said some stupid stuff is a bit much as well.
Trump's worst enemy is his own mouth. If he would just stop tweeting and doing press conferences (he has people who could handle that job just fine), he'd be a lot better off.
if this has already been posted, then just delete it.. dead body found in kingdom hall parking lot!
i think the article is from 2 days ago.. https://abc7.com/kingdom-hall-of-jehovah's-witnesses-fullerton-church-body-found-in-parking-lot/6100027/ petra!

As much as I love a good scandal involving Watchtower skullduggery, this doesn't appear to have any connection to the Borg other than the body happened to be discovered on its property.
If there turns out to be a connection, however, I dearly hope it's broadcast far and wide and makes the Borg look as bad as possible.

It would look bad for his own business to receive government help anyway. If he's so rich, why doesn't he either keep his workers employed or at least pay them half wages while laid off? It would be great PR for him.
one new cutting-edge attempt to deal with the novel coronavirus is to take plasma from those who have had covid-19, recovered, and have the natural antibodies against it, and then put those antibodies in victims who have the virus and need help.. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/03/826638981/hospitals-universities-push-for-treatment-using-plasma-from-recovered-covid-pati.
isn't taking plasma one of the the no-nos according to wts doctrine?does anyone see "new light" on the horizon in this matter that would allow the faithful sheep to accept such treatment?.
The Golden Age, predecessor of Awake!, used to rail against vaccinations. You can still find plenty of their ridiculous cartoons on the internet. Medical conspiracy theories and outright ignorance reigned supreme in those rags.
Unofficially, some JWs passed around methods of scarring their children's arms so as to lie to fool the authorities about whether they had been vaccinated or not so they could attend school. Blatantly dishonest and deceptive, but many did it anyway.
i was watching the local news in the background and i heard a guy talking about 3m and how florida was getting screwed.
i didn't hear the whole report.. later, i was switching through the channels and i saw the same guy talking to tucker carlson (fox news).
come to find out he is the federal cdc equivalent at the state level.
waton, you are mistaken about those companies making stuff for the Nazis during World War 2. The computers and other devices were ordered, paid for and shipped, with US government approval, long before the war began.
For example, construction on the Bismarck began in July, 1936. It was launched in February, 1939. IBM's German subsidiary did supply the German government with computers and a punch card system to facilitate their 1933 census, but this information was only years later used to enable the Holocaust. The US branch did not work with the Germans during the war.
This is analogous to the weapons and other equipment sent to our former "friends" and now being used against us. I wish there were some sort of self-destruct mechanism we could imbed in stuff like that, especially fighter jets and missiles. Now there's an idea!
imagine you or a loved one have to go onto a ventilator and are given the choice of how it should be powered.
what are people picking?.
coal or oil powered energy.
I prefer the Pocket Ventilator by Ronco! Powered by 4 AA flux capacitors, available everywhere! But wait! That's not all...
hey all,.
i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.
i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.
Thank you so much for the info. They say knowledge is power, and in this case, it can lessen fear as well.
Wishing you a speed and complete recovery. Thank you for all you're doing to help others at work, and for helping us understand a bit better what is actually going on.
not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!
so they don't upset their spiritual routine!
ugh!
Is there any way to do a green screen kind of thing? You know, put a fake background behind you, like maybe a running clip of a strip club or even a sports bar.
Even funnier if you could put a more interesting background behind other people’s video feed. Just for fun, of course. Just long enough to get a laugh or two and then back to normal.
this whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.
if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.
even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.
I’m with you! Nothing screams CULT louder than requiring adherents to place cameras in their homes so the leaders can see what they’re wearing and make sure they’re paying attention.
Just allowing unknown people a view into your home through access to a video feed seems extremely risky. Who, exactly, is watching you and noticing that you seem vulnerable and have stuff that might be worth taking? Especially since few JWs are equipped to defend themselves or their homes.
I think the main reason the Society is so intent on continuing the meetings by whichever means is so they can keep up the encouragement pressure to send those contributions in. “Why, we even have the loving provision from Jehovah of setting up regular donations right from your bank account or credit card.”
ibsa.

There is plenty to criticize and ridicule the Society about, and I like to be among the first to do so, but I see nothing nefarious here. From a business standpoint, buying these homes to house temporary workers and then selling them off makes sense.
You might think they'd make them available first to needy "faithful long-time servants," but we all know the chance of that happening.
The fact that no one is being forked over by this particular deal takes nothing away from the fact that the Society is a greedy money-grubbing mind-control cult from which there is no honorable exit. Once in, you cannot leave without losing all your family and friends that stay in. I hate this blanking religion and what it does to otherwise good people!
