  ITALIANCALIPSO:

  Welcome to the forum. I am also Italian descent and have been to Italy three times over the years.

  I am sorry for what happened there with Covid. I hope the tourist industry and the economy can recover to some degree soon.

  MEAN MR MUSTARD:

  That is true but most people aren’t aware and are unconcerned...unless they own a business.

  What I dread is the Aftermath when this crisis dies down and prices of things go up (car ins., etc.?).

  What happens when a great many people don’t get their jobs back?

  What a wonderful time---for faders to fade away!

  i’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.

  what better time than now for a fader to fade?

  no meetings, no field service, no elder visits, no assemblies, no convention, and no other bullshit busy work going on.

  BLUES BROTHERS & JWTOM:

  I am glad more Witnesses using Zoom never turned the camera on in the first place OR are turning off their cameras!

  I figured this would lose its charm after a while when people woke up and said WTF! and decided they aren’t going to get all dressed up just to be in their own living room on display having strangers seeing into their home!

  Let the Witness religion ramp up its criticism of these people and see how THAT work$ out for them.

  Reasonable question - looking for reasonable responses!

  why are taxi firms still operating during a "deadly pandemic?".

  i was shopping yesterday and saw taxi after taxi picking people & their shopping up at the supermarket.

  none of the drivers or any of the passengers wore masks or gloves, nor did they keep any distance from each other - in or out of the car.. the drivers all helped to load the bags into the boots/trunks of their cars.taxi-drivers must be seriously at risk of catching/spreading covid 19...

  BOOGERMAN:

  Unfortunately, people still have to get around. Some will require the services of a taxi driver.

  However, a taxi driver is in danger just like other essential people like health care workers and people working in supermarkets. So, a taxi driver should be wearing a mask at least.

  DAVROS:

  Welcome to the forum!

  I always felt there was nothing worse than an uneducated JW who doesn’t even understand politics, to be making remarks about anybody. I even sent a message to a JW I knew on social media telling this person just that...Maybe these people should send back their Stimulus check..I won’t even get into JWs and illegal immigration.

  Witnesses are against everything, don’t support anything - but yet they have their hands out looking for what they can get from the government.

  Are Jehovah Witnesses still trying to bring the good news to others during the pandemic?

  i am no longer a study.

  during the onset of the pandemic the person who used to be my bible study teacher began to reach out to me.

  initially, i just thought that she wanted to know that i was well.

  SMIDDY3:

  Amen..The Witness religion cannot be forgiven for its hypocrisy. I’m glad I’m not around them anymore.

  People in congregations who treated me like Typhoid Mary or the Scarlet Letter because I worked full time wouldn’t so much as get a dime from me..Nobody better dare come calling asking for charity for needy JWs...I told an old JW acquaintance of my experience and she didn’t care to understand..But, I made it clear I’d never give anything to these people after how I was treated!..If I caved in to peer pressure years ago, I wouldn’t be Retired!

  These deluded phoneys better not look in my direction!..I have a long memory and can be as callous as nails and it won’t matter if there’s a worldwide pandemic or whatever.

  Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?

  i guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.

  less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.

  if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.

  BIAHI:

  I believe they don’t just avoid certain ex-JWs because they are afraid of what that person knows. And they are right because we know plenty.

  They are also unlikely to contact ex-JWs they can’t exploit materially!

  The religion is more likely to want to reactivate ex-JWs who they remember as being an ‘asset’ who opened up their home, entertained, served food. Maybe they had a skill and did work for certain JWs for free: fixed cars, prepared taxes, cut hair, etc. The Witnesses are Users of the worst sort and anybody who was generous would be sucked dry.

  Positive accomplishment: Peace & Quiet. I was criticized as not ‘spiritual’ because I worked, didn’t ‘pioneer’ and certainly didn’t do favors for the Users.. I doubt they’d contact me.

  MARIA NIEVES:

  Just hearing about the hypocrisy you described with your study conductor with HER higher education and career knocking YOU for getting your education makes my blood boil.. NOTE: You are being ‘groomed’ to be a drudge to do favors for all the Users. That’s my opinion of why I was treated the way I WAS.

  I do despise these Witnesses who HAVE an education/career under their belt - but yet are telling somebody else not to get it. If this woman was in my house I would tell her to get the hell out.

  Are these idiots going to pay your bills and support you in life? I’m so glad I never listened to the JWs. I would not be Retired today if I had. This is why I don’t want Witnesses coming near me asking for money or anything else.

  MINIMUS:

  The only thing positive from this lockdown is that I will never take for granted that I can go out wherever I want, shop wherever I want and mingle with people when I want - and that I didn’t have to wear an annoying mask!

  Like you, I agree this is awful and I want things to go back to being as normal as possible soon. The last time things seemed ‘normal’ was sometime in February then it turned into the Twilight Zone.

  MARIA NIEVES:

  I’m sorry she spoke down to you. Witnesses do that to people who say something that makes them feel uncomfortable. You’re supposed to be ‘shamed’ into complying.🙄

  The system is ‘ended’ when the creator Ends it by destruction. This pandemic doesn’t necessarily mean the ‘system’ or world is ended.

  As far as their preaching work being ‘over’, apparently that’s not the case and they are reaching out to inactive people. They have lost many people in recent years and hope to reactivate whoever they can. Since they cannot physically go out in the public ministry during the lockdown, they write, phone or text people.
