  Trump has championed a wonderful GP called Dr. ZelenkoThis guy is a New York primary care physician who was smack bang in the middle of the worst of the NY pandemic....he had hundreds and hundreds of positive patients form whom he worked out the best prophylactic treatment. And yes, it includes hydroxichloraquin, Vitamin D, an antibiotic and Zinc. This GP lost ONE patient and only 2 were taken into intensive care. That’s an improvement on the average by a factor of 90%

  Some academics and statisticians co authored a peer reviewed paper on this protocol and it will shortly be published (it has passed muster}

  I’m sure Trump will be treated using this protocol and will be ok!I will post below references

  i have a friend named rich who i have known for over 40 years.

  Please don’t take it personally Rules. You have a full and busy life. A beautiful life. Rich is empty. He’s dying and he knows it. No family of his own, few friends (I imagine) and, to be frank, he’s needy and he’s becoming bitter. Basically he’s acting like he’s in a co dependent relationship with you. Except you don’t seem to be co dependent with him!!!!! Good! Now I think it’s about time your brother knew about his friends condition. Too bad if he doesn’t want your brother to know. He shouldn’t have told you if he didn’t want him to know!!! He’s playing a mean game whereby he’s hoping your brother will find out when It’s too late and be wracked with guilt.

  All this makes him sound like a royal pain in the ass, right? But he must have been fun once upon a time, yes? I really think you should wait a bit, calm down and if and when he apologizes to you accept the apology and make it a condition that he tells your brother, tries to make up with him and starts to take a long hard look at himself and where he’s going. Maybe get therapy? Get some professional care so he doesn’t have to rely on one person....otherwise he’ll die alone, and he doesn’t really want that.

  I think he’s very, very frightened Rules. He’s pushing everyone away. I’ve seen it before and it’s very sad.

  PS you’re a good man😉

  My heart has always gone out to the victim and parents. They have been members on this board for years, and I met them at the Tahoe Appostafest years ago.I

  m shocked! Whoever you are, you are an incredibly brave family.

  Im not sure how much satisfaction you will receive, even should you win. We know Watchtower never says “sorry”. Ultimately that’s what victims want....no more victims.

  One thing I’m sure of though. If you manage to change the entrenched, atavistic attitude of this Mormon state, you will have made the lives of many, many children far safer. Making sure all religions are called to account when they sanction child abuse, by turning a blind eye at best and at worst re-victimizing the child, is no greater testimony to your bravery. The ‘church inviolable’, no matter how despicable It’s behavior, has got to be changed!

  Link Dislike Like

  He was slow not due to being lazy but he was very old in his 80s. It was a pity job.

  This is why we need a decent charity for cult victims. I can’t tell you how angry that makes me.

  Now THAT makes me want to throw a bucket of cold water over those fat cat Watchtower lawyers Who you can BET are getting the full worldly salary for the hours and HOURS of useless stalling and generally appalling law advice they over charge watchtower for.

  The JW accountants that are paid top dollar to squeeze every penny out of the government in aid and grants ie for printing literature in obscure native languages etc

  Not to mention the JW big business men. “brothers” who get the big watchtower contracts, FULLY knowing its bullshit, but financially on to such a good little earner they’d never leave.

  People often ask, “but who really stands to gain” and apart from governing body (and governing body helper) adulation, the aforementioned are the real JW financial winners.

  And not one of those bastards would give that old brother so much as a sniff off of their turd😩 Just as if it were - oh, I don’t know - a business

  Gotta worry about Government getting its hands into religious debates.

  DOC are you serious? This goes way, way further than “religious debates”. I would go as far as to say those elders participated in CRIMINAL behavior.

  Also do cults carry out mind control? If yes, why do people leave? Shows the issue isn't mind control. But it could be mind manipulation. Then you get back to the issue of is this a secular or a theological problem?

  Anna Marina I think another poster had the right idea when he said that elders are human resource managers and watchtower is a corporation (which of course it is). We need to treat it like he multi level marketing fraud it is....if there was a way of dealing with watchtower the corporation, watchtower the “religion” would soon disappear within a generation. Without the cash the management would no longer have the power (Jwbroadcast, the books, magazines and lawyers to steal their Kingdom Halls)to effect cruelty on JWs.

  Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  the zoog fire is burning just outside of redding ca., 0% containment, 3 dead.

  sounded like ww2 with air tanker traffic going over the house yesterday.

  quite amazing the size of aircraft used; large jets, military air lift transport plus the prop jobs of cal fire.

  Does that mean the fire has been put out? Hope so. It’s very interesting hearing it from the horses mouth, so to speak. How do these fires start, by the way? Is it because temperatures are rising? Are they accidental?

  PS I think the pandemic may have the witnesses running back { metaphorically!} to the Kingdom Hall, but when it dies down and the press gets hold of the child abuse scandal in the states things may change and witnesses may start listening.
