656Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis 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.

U.K today has 4,000 new cases and 4,000 new deaths!
No it's 765 new deaths. For the first time this includes deaths in care homes. Today's number might be inflated as it includes death registrations from more than 24 hours.

The Fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity
by ILoveTTATT2 inever since i came out of the witnesses, i've become very political.. i've heard lots of arguments back and forth for many things.. in the u.s. there is the argument that it is "racist" to want to deny entry to muslims.
while there is freedom of religion, there is also the very valid concern of maintaining democracy and a justice system that is based on modern values.we as exjw's constantly quote the pew center for statistics on jw's such as: they are last place in the us for members of a religion that go to university, and second-last for poverty levels of members of a religion.
we accept those statistics and mention them as proof of how damaging the jw's are.now, let's use the same center for some very scary statistics on islam:http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/22/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/.

Hello theone welcome to the forum.
It is true that you can cherry-pick peaceful texts from the Quran. You can also find calls for violence, oppression and intolerance.
The same is true of the bible.
On the whole the Quran becomes less appealing in the later texts when Mo and his cronies fled to Medina. These texts supercede the earlier conciliatory ones.
Christianity focuses on the New Testament and most xtians have found a way to ignore the Bible's violent tendencies.
Surveys show that a worrying percentage of Muslims still favour moral precepts that western liberal societies find abhorrent.
Of course many Muslims have reconciled their beliefs with liberal ethics. I fully support the rights of Muslims to practice their religion but we must be intolerant of intolerance. The victims of bad Islamic traditions are mostly Muslims - especially women and Muslim reformers.
am sure you will not continue this. Or heaven will not be your place
Nobody cares.

I think they are adapting a vaccine that was originally developed for Ebola.
It looks promising but too soon to know. If it works it will be the fastest vaccine in history by a long way.

The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".
by smiddy3 ini`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

truth is ONLY evil ones are killed.
What about all the infants God told Joshua to annihilate?
Are babies evil?

I'm going to leave Johhny Boy and Fink to talk right past each other.
He is using it as a distraction to avoid the hard problems.

YES, you got those 6 points from reading the Bible, and Jehovah didn't hold back from giving that info did he? Why do you think that is? - Johnny Boy
Do you really imagine that without the bible none of us would know that love involves positive actions that promote the wellbeing of others? But in contrast to these statements we have god's actions in the bible.
How do we reconcile god's words that we should love our enemies as he does, with his actions that include genocide, infanticide, kidnap, rape and slavery? Do we do as god says or do we do as god does?
And for the umpteenth time where do you get your ability to LOVE and have a sense of what is right or wrong, just or unjust?
I explained that twice already. We are social creatures. Our moral instincts evolved in conjunction with our increasingly complex social groups. Even other social animals clearly show a sense of justice and fair play.
Watch this video its fucking hilarious. Even better do a search for the whole TED Talk 'Moral behavior in animals by Frans de Waal'
Also, you say Jehovah caused millions or even billions of deaths and due to that you rest your case that Jehovah is not a God of LOVE. Well what do you say about when those people are resurrected and have the chance to live forever ...is that unloving of Jehovah?
So far that promise has proven to be vacuous. But even if it was true it is monstrous.
Imagine that Nazi scientists had developed a drug that made their victim completely forget the unspeakable torture that they had undergone in sick experiments. Your logic would justify the worst horrors of Josef Mengele.

Phizzy why do you feel the need to denigrate people who don't share your perspective?
