  Legal Concerns About "Zoom" Meetings!

  by Atlantis in

  2. friends

  this whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.

  if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.

  even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.

  So...in order to be a dub these days one has to be totally computer savvy, and have all the hardware, software, applications, etc....what about the old ones who aren't tech wise?

  Does this zoom thing come with a price other than privacy invasion and it's possible ramifications?

  As for the dressing up bit, that's just crazy. Suppose you have the virus and are sick in bed in your nightshirt....and you want some entertainment in your misery so you plug on.....you going to be harassed for no knee length skirt and turtleneck? Or suit and tie?

  hey all,.

  i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.

  i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

  Thank you so much for posting this. I personally am appalled that there are people actually believing this is a political plot (USA), then I know of those in denial that it is no big deal, just another flu..... It is a big deal and the containment is dependent on individual discretion.

  Stay healthy everyone....

  Do You Support Nancy Pelosi and The Democrats Way of Working On The Coronavirus?

  i think the american people need to get help on the coronavirus and leave it at that!

  forget about adding things from the liberal agenda!

  the house and the senate need to work together now to do their jobs..

  The current administration is driven by corporate greed. There is no concern for the average citizen, the ones who work to support themselves and their families and who are systematically raped by pharmaceuticals, ridiculous health insurance premiums and escalating consumer costs.

  The response to the pandemic has been slow and the CDC has been facing hurdles stymying their efforts.

  Liberal means live and let live...respect the lives of others. Treat people with dignity and allow them their freedom to live the best life they can. It has nothing to do with stupidity or ignorance. Social programs should be there to protect the disenfranchised...and we all should be concerned with the ecology and ensuring a safe healthy environment now and future. And women's health issues are a personal matter...not political.

  About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..

  by snugglebunny in

  unleavened bread has no yeast in it.

  and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?

  not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

  Nope...just the right kind of flour and water. My mother used to bake the stuff for the occasion. It is nasty.

  logged into a zoom 'pep talk' from one of the local elders last night.

  about 9 families were connected via zoom which was pretty cool.

  however the information shared was even better.

  Wow...And I imagine brother tweedledee will be assigned to tally up the plugged in? The distorted numbers should prove fascinating if ever published.

  Yes..my mother was baptized in 1938....And early on it was only for partakers. Then it became a sin against the holy spirit to not attend.

  Oh the times they are a changin.......

  "Go, my people, enter your inner rooms..."

  by Smiles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  isaiah 26:20 is now being used in private discussions among upper echelons of watch tower elites as a premise to infer covid19 pandemic related protocols are preparing the jw masses for that great overdue end-time deliverance.. "go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you.

  hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.

  " - isaiah 26:20. if the hype and fanaticism produce more failed expectations, watch tower may experience a 1975-like membership disaster.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  by pale.emperor in

  2. friends

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  ".
