  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  while many events are being postponed and cancelled because of the corona virus, isn't it surprising that democrat rallies are continuing?

  .

  how about jw circuit assemblies?.

  As to the Watchtower's governing body it is totally within their power to conduct the local meetings and conventions online until this thing blows over.

  As to the political process in the US despite the fact that I am Republican I have some empathy for the Democrats and their process going on with their convention coming up and the rest of the primaries coming up.

  "as young as 8 years old"

  CORRECTION

  "as young as 6 years old"
  

  There are no less than two instances found in their yearbooks

  The Anointed Apostate: the Remarkable Sister Pettifog

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. experiences

  (on the anniversary of my jw best friend's death, i've reached into my archive to replay this incident in his honor)

  the remarkable sister *pettifog*.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early and took up a seat at the outdoor table in the fresh air.. that’s when it happened--a group of 3 older ladies at one of the other tables outside rose to leave and one of them walked over to my table and spoke directly to me.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

  they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

  they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].
