  Resurrection, Reconstruction? What is it? It never made sense to me. Your opinion.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  i never had much faith in whatever resurrection was.

  what appealed to me about jw doctrines was the rejection of the "it's a mystery" defense of the indefensible.

  when i would ask how going into non existence could be reversed when all the atomic parts of who we are had been scattered for thousands of years, the answer was "jehovah can do anything".

  That's what faith and beliefs are about, believing in the irrational and the improbable no matter what is established to a appealing degree..

  Humanity has been asking the gods for help with sickness and death for thousands of years, who knows maybe this will continue on for another thousand years. ?

  In the mean time I think its better to deal with the probable to what we have within the known and accepted physical world.

  Waiting for the gods of ancient times to help us out is not really a good wager to make wholly based upon the inspired imaginations of few men who lived a long time ago.

  Some ancients believe their dreams were visions handed down to them from their gods.

  Kosonen the prophetic nutter is back
  

  Trying to make fictional mythological prophesies written 2000 years ago to are modern time is a trite foolish and intellectually dishonest .

  Voiding oneself from reality is a crippling folly for humanity to take, we should always respect those who try to live in reality instead abstract delusions, are very survival depends on it.

  Please stay in your nuthouse Kosonen

  One should have a sense of empathy to those who lost their jobs, particularly in the air line industry, the cruise lines, hotels, retail, wholesale outlets and hospitality etc.

  There is no doubt there is going to be an ongoing economic down fall out this whole affair, which may take awhile to fully recover.
  

  My suggestion to those who lost their chosen jobs and dont see them coming back for the foreseeable future, is quickly get trained into another profession.

  Invest yourself toward something that is active, keep your eyes and ears open.

  Sure are a lot of bent and twisted perceptions on this thread concerning Covid-19.
  

  The fact is governments foreknew that this virus was both deadly and contagious so they were compelled to act toward the protection of the population to which they govern.

  Lets imagine for a second that governments did establish restrictions or shut downs ... ????

  You yourself would most likely have to suffer the death of one your own family members.

  You would most likely see bodies wrapped up laying on the street as you went to work or to shop at your local stores.

  Covid-19 death rate

  by BourneIdentity in

  worldwide numbers – 13%.

  deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

  deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

  Any thoughts why world governments imposed such measures?

  Answer = Satan messing with humanity again

  When is Jesus going to kick his ass off the earth ?

  It couldn't come soon enough in my opinion.

  If you deeply think about resurrection of all of humanity while no one dies for a 1000 years is irrational and physically impossible.
  

  Its a nice ideological dream though, the kind of dream some ancients may have thought up for their gods to accomplish for their devoted worshipers.

  Now we just have to find some supernatural gods to do it.

  For now we are on are own.

  Yes certainly so if there is vaccine developed which would block out any reoccurring infections.

  Until that happens we have to play it cautiously safe.

  There is the potential for humanity it built up immunity to the virus on its own which could make infections eventually rare .
