  I don’t think Trump getting Covid will make any difference one way or another. He’s human. He meets lots of people, especially folks who do a lot of traveling, so it’s really not surprising. He could do with loosing a few pounds, ok, but I’d say he’s pretty tough. Also he’s 6 3” and taller people seem to get away with carrying a few more pounds but you never know. It seems quite random as to who goes down, particularly when it comes to clotting.

  Interestingly they’re finally talking about the possibility of interaction with pets being a protective factor. You see animals carry coronaviruses. Not the same one, of course, but researchers are finally putting forward the theory that pets may pass coronaviruses to their owners who develop T cell immunity to coronaviruses. This is my pet theory, by the way, so u heard it first here folks lol🤣

  It's a wonder the Tower doesn't give rank & file instructions on how to theocratically go to the bathroom!!!

  Petra I think they did! Wasn’t there some letter read out a few years back about taking only ONE paper towel whenever you go to the bathroom?!! 🤣Can anyone one verify?

  Thank you for your tireless work ❤️

  People don't want a president who lived in his basement for 3 months because of fancy flu.

  "Fancy Flu"? I agree a good president should carry on his duties absolutely but it's simply not fancy flu. The statistics show it's ten times more deadly than influenza. It's also easier to catch. The only positive comparison is that it's not as lethal in children as influenza is.

  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

  My friend Rich leaves an uncalled for message on my answering machine

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. friends

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

  he was my brother's best friend for 35 years until 5 years ago.

  they had a falling out and neither of them will tell me why they do not speak to each other.

  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😉

  a woman is suing a local congregation ("kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses, roy, utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and watchtower ny after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape.

  the trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows:.

  at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.

  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
