Everyone Around Trump Is Getting The Virus Including Joint Chief if Staff ...what’s going on???

is this just a coincidence?

is trump a “super spreader”?

is this a republican payback?

Finkelstein

It may be a result of people letting their guard down and not taking the advise of experts in the field with contagious deceases and viruses, such as social distancing and mask wearing.

The top administration and assistants to Trump may have thought their inner social circle was clean and protected, they now know that was not true..

The only way to protect an active social environment is to test people creating a guarded bubble and keep them there as it were or to test them everyday with quick results before interaction with one another..

My Prediction: Trump Wins Big

a month ago it might have been questionable.

not now.

after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

Finkelstein

One of the most discouraging signs for Republicans is this: if polls are as wrong this year as they were in 2016, Biden would still win the election by a comfortable margin, according to the Times, which gives Biden 319 electoral votes under the hypothetical polling error. Only 270 electoral votes are needed to win.

For those keeping track: Biden’s lead right now is significantly wider than Hillary Clinton’s was at this time in 2016, when she held a 5.6-point advantage over Trump.

How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?

by Finkelstein in

for myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.

they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.

they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

Finkelstein

Verenda the JWS religion turns people into apathetic cruel assholes through the mental indoctrination by its leaders, who derive and try to emulate the ancient Hebrew social directives a civilization that existed 3000 years past in human history.

Gay people (homosexuals) are born that way and we shouldn't demean and be judgemental toward because of that fact.

The JW religion has many causative results over the years of doing damage to people.

One story comes to mind which came out here about 10 years ago where a young fellow came out as gay, he was baptized as a young teenager.

Well he got DFed of course and his family quickly abandoned him completely.

I guess he was struggling with new identity where his family (parents) gave him the shoulder, unfortunately he took his own life out depression.

So it would appear the WTS/JWorg has ramped its intentional distancing of its members with non members and these actions are observable, not only in my own family but others as well.

The WTS has lured and coerced people into sharing their own inherent sins as money making apostate false prophets.

It reminded me of Germany after the war, there were no Nazis, Hitler was never mentioned.

good analogy

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they have predicted this for years.

religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

Finkelstein

To make a hypothetical situation, would the US government turn on all the Christian based faiths in that country ?

Likely not

It seems according to this doctor that there was always a cure for Covid 19

by pistolpete in

the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.

have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.

there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.
