  Economic Recovery after COVID-19

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  it feels like we've really turned a corner, this morning especially.. the covid lockdowns are ending and medical systems were not overwhelmed plus there are existing treatments that have been proven to be effective (like hydroxychloroquine) and new vaccines and medicines in the pipeline.

  a week or so ago the dems were dead against opening things up but since they are encouraging protests (which often turn violent) they can't continue that stance - thus proving trumps claim that it will soon be gone.

  the majority of the deaths were politician-assisted (which i hope people are prosecuted for) so it's not the big risk we were led to believe and (over) reacted to.. the bls reported this morning that the us economy just added a huge number of jobs (most on record) and will undoubtedly benefit even more from a drive to source local production and supply chains going forwards.

  Recovery will be slow and gradual, if and when a vaccine is developed and distributed, this will enhance the recovery.

  Tourism is a large expanding industry which needs to be reactivated and that wont happened until cross border travel reopens.

  Expect the DNC to be a complete shit-show as everyone turns on each other.

  You just know Biden is going to get up, become confused and call Obama the N word from the podium.

  I would like to pose a online wager to Simon which is fixed upon who will win the next US federal election.

  I think Biden will win, based mostly upon people in the US are just tired of Trump and they have had enough of the guy.

  How does $20 bucks sound ?

  Simon ?

  Watchtower August 2020 Are they introducing new light?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.

  7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.

  so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.

  his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

  thanks as always to the courageous candace owens.. ....

  So perhaps this unfortunate affair doesn't have to do with race at all.

  A guy gets caught doing something illegal, he tries to escape arrest by the called in police, he struggles with the officers to escape, they finally pin him down, the holding technique used was physically exceeding to cause the man to go into cardiac arrest assisted by the drugs he was on, the suspect is taken to a hospital where he dies.

  This could have happened to any person of any racial background .

  I'm not a medical doctor but it would seem to me that because he was high on drugs that this assisted to the outcome of cardiac arrest

  How Can So Many Protesters (George Floyd) Be From "Somewhere Else?"

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear every mayor, every politician, claiming that the protesters are coming in from "other states".

  at some point, with about 130 cities that had protests over the last weekend, where the hell are people coming from???.

  there are only 50 states (57 per obama, but that includes us territories and kenya).

  I wonder how many people saw rioters smash store windows and then loot the store out thinking " hey I want to do that " .

  Why did they have to HANG MARY?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they hanged mary!

  (the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.

  i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.

  Humans can do very strange things compelled out of ignorance and emotions.

  Like hanging an elephant or creating a religion.

  Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

  by Number 6 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

  we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

  we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

  All religions - as well as sports fans - have the same sense of tribalism/belonging. "We're the best."

  Good point BoogerMan
  

  The brainwashing was just as strong back in the 60's 70's we are the most righteous people on earth and the most happiest because of it.

  This was all due to the FDSL direction and guidance, who were really just lying and corrupt religious charlatans and biblicaly false prophets.

  This unfortunate event looks to be a confrontational meeting of two problematic idiots , the cop and the suspect.

  JWs want to preach right now so very badly, they feel the fish are biting

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.

  they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.

  and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.

  So really, what benefit do they get by converting?

  They take on a self identity of righteousness before god, in his approval ready to catch that ticket to eternal paradise.

  The wicked world to them is soon to come down as promised so subconsciously they are internally happy, the most happiest people on earth.

  They accept the fulfillment of prophecy happening all around them in their minds.
  

  In the mean time they get some redemption from their sins (thank you Jesus) and some direction which they have been told they need to stay righteous. (thank you Watchtower Corporation )

  They cant wait for Armageddon to occur, the really good stuff will come after that.

  Bring it on Jah, your will be done as it is in heaven.
