Sea B - Romans 3:24 so why can't followers just take the "faith" part and run with it! Seems to good to be true -- actually is for JWs who are stuck because of marriage/family/friends/work/handouts.
I see the attraction to TV evangelizers who preach the faith alone - I couldn't believe it after the cult crazy.
at about the 4 minute mark joe mentions ex jehovah witnesses as being sensitive to cult indoctrination and how this is just like that.

Tater-T -- Thx for LINK. I really like Joe Rogan.
anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?
weird.
i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.
StoneWall - informative video and I've only watched about 1/8th of it. Appreciate the share/WOW. Nothing the cult does is surprising. Hopefully, JWs receiving any unneeded handouts will give to those who need it.
my elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.
as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".

Ahhh - Sean Connery the Great and what a quote!
you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.
so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??
?.
NOPE -- I've never seen so much bias, prejudice, "racism," abuse - whatever term you prefer because I'm on the receiving end and have experienced it first hand and it's opposite what the politicians spew out of their mouths. I'm not referring to the police issues! Books/art products "borrowed," begged for when they've student 'free' money to purchase their own - personal household items trashed/destroyed intentionally. I'm not at all shocked at the destruction/burning of personal property in the streets. I can write a book on the abuses toward the "privileged" white woman and I'm not referring to only the African American class but mostly another illegal ethnic. It doesn't matter how much extra you pay - give away/provide, assist, etc., the results are the same. They hate you more because you can. When I was told this by an African American JW friend decades ago I didn't believe her!! She was spot on and one of the wisest gals I've ever known. Humanity HAS NOT evolved in a good, behavioral, way.
It's so bad many "privileged" white and other ethnic woman WILL NOT hire cleaning cos or individuals. They'd rather look at dust vs. having their possessions trashed! The ones that do hire SUFFER! There's a breakdown in society toward the ape-end - actually apes are better!

TERRY, TERRY, TERRY - how I LOVE your stories! I've missed so many and VOW to hunt them down from this moment forward. You would have made an excellent educator! Society still needs you - you'd be a great asset to the young (and OLD) minds.
Your 'Secret of Life' took me back in time to all the happy times I walked by the mammoth, pecan, tree, en route to my grandparents' home (my favorite place on planet earth) and all my grandfather's beloved date palms (fat trunk palms? - not sure). I loved that old, tall, pecan, tree. Please carry on - stay well!

Well, Sea B - lol - I sure like the sound of it.
i’ve heard from a few trump voters that they are getting tired of the whole trump thing.
one person yesterday said he lies.
another person said she hears from her clients in her business that the constant drama and push back from all sides against trump is fatiguing.. i remind people that before this worldwide pandemic, we had the best numbers in jobs.
San Antonio stats might be indicative of the hispanic community - I've not had time to check out the above-referenced link. COVID 19 is really hitting the hispanic community in the San Joaquin Valley bread basket (California) - they work in close proximity in the fields/packing sheds etc., and many don't think they'll be affected. Brutal statistics for hispanics in my state, also. Many employed in hotel business and they don't wear masks - or weren't. None of the hispanic gardeners wear face masks - they might be now that it has been mandated but the sun obviously doesn't knock the virus out or not enough skin is left uncovered - they wear so much sun protective clothing and the Vitamin D can't penetrate skin. Not good. Too many family/friend social gatherings with no social distancing/masks. The numbers are looking much better for the African Americans here. Too many use public transportation and take the infections into the nursing homes or work at more than one nursing home facility thus spreading the disease. Nursing homes are not protective of residents and have large turnover of caregivers - poor hourly pay.

Sea B - any facts? I'm not denying your statement and hope you know more than we skeptics.
I feel bad for the brainwashed oldies being fleeced for cubbies and everlasting life - they've no where to run.

US is a huge country and you can't compare US to Switzerland.
We all realize Sweden has had a rough time. All the riots in many US cities certainly haven't helped regardless of the Left's rhetoric. The bars/clubbing and social lives of the young have caused great increases, also. Death rates are down for most part which is a positive. The severity of the strain isn't making COVID patients as sick as previously and, hopefully, really is weakening although the younger ones are more resilient. The young aren't hospitalized for as long and ICU methods not as critical as in April here. Many young ones haven't taken COVID 19 seriously and have acted foolishly.
