  I'm interested in discussing basic JW doctrines that you believe are unscriptural

  by AlainAlam in

  background info: although i'm an apostate, i don't hate jehovah's witnesses, or the organization itself.

  actually i find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased.

  i think most of them are amazing people, and i wish more non-witnesses were like them.

  Hello AA. Welcome to the forum.

  I think one of the errors that the Watchtower has made is to denigrate the role of Jesus. I am convinced that the trinity is a post-biblical invention but it is also clear that early christians had a very different relationship with Jesus than modern day JWs.

  If you are interested you could have a read at this old thread..

  In summary - The apostles described themselves as witnesses of Jesus, they called him their only owner and Lord, and the one to whom they belonged. They were baptised in his name, led by his Spirit, rejoiced in his blessing and overflowed with praise for him.

  UK Government web site - Covid 19 is no longer an H.C.I.D.

  "as of 19 march 2020, covid-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (hcid) in the uk.. now that more is known about covid-19, the public health bodies in the uk have reviewed the most up to date information about covid-19 against the uk hcid criteria.

  the advisory committee on dangerous pathogens (acdp) is also of the opinion that covid-19 should no longer be classified as an hcid.

  Just passing on the U.K. government's insulting, infuriating, and dangerous misinformation! - fallguy

  And so far you have not offered a single example.

  New data and changes to public behaviour means that the projected death toll no longer falls under the technical definition of HCID. So?

  it lasts for 45 minutes, but the first 11 minutes are more than enough to see that something is not quite right regarding the media's information about covid 19. the video has english subtitles.

  I have too much self-respect to go anywhere near Ike's website. I would go to the WT website for science education before I would go there.

  If he knows something we don't other sources will come forward.

  why is another version of coronavirus being portrayed like it's the Black Death, and the world brought to a virtual standstill

  Because unlike the flu there is no vaccine, treatment or herd immunity. Even if death rates are equal to the annual flu many many more people will get it if we don't isolate for a while.

  FallGuy - Ike is so far off the scale of insanity that it is reasonable to totally dismiss anything that comes out his mouth without a second's thought.

  He has a long history of lies and self-serving deception. He literally claimed that the Queen of Great Britain is a lizard - he was NOT being ironic.

  There is much we don't yet know about the Chinese Plague but choose your sources wisely.

  Ferguson did predict that if we did absolutely nothing then the death toll could be in the hundreds of thousands. He has not backed down from that but we have taken action and hospital admissions are growing linearly rather than exponentially. If that continues to be the case then everybody who needs ICU support will get it and lives will be saved.

  When this is over I reckon death rates will be less than 1%

  If You're Just Here to spread Your TDS, It's Time to Say Goodbye

  if all you want to do it deliver a constant whine of "orange man bad" then find someplace else to do.

  it.

  frankly, i can't be bothered with the bullshit anymore.. honestly, your politics and the whole virtue signalling woke brigade has actually started causing real deaths and was ruining life for many before that.. if you can't control your disease, then i'll do it for you.. it's not open for debate..

  American politics seem to be so partisan that conversations always generate more heat than light.

  I seek out Conservative and Liberal American podcasts. Clever and funny people on both sides.

  The idea that others might disagree with your political views but still be decent and intelligent appears to be forgotten.

  I shudder to imagine the anger after the next election whatever the outcome.

  I would genuinely prefer to go to war than sit around hoping an invisible enemy doesn't get us.

  China must pay dearly for what they have done.

  Covid 19 - expert says it's hype!

  by The Fall Guy in

  lol!

  having commented earlier on experts' differing views, here's a prominent german physician/politician - wolfgang wodarg - who made controvorsial statements that the coronavirus "pandemic" is not out of the ordinary and that italy's mortality rate (8,215 deaths from coronavirus so far) is no greater than it would normally be from the 'flu virus.

  in 2017/18 approx 18,000 italians died due to the flu.. the wikipedia section - controversial theses in the 2020 covid 19 crisis - is worth examining.

  Interesting article I read last week that spoke about the importance of initial 'viral load'. People who get infected after a small exposure tend to do well and have little or no symptoms.

  People like doctors or family members of infected patients who get prolonged exposure in the early stages tend to do badly.

  This might explain why doctors are falling victim. Also if somebody you live with gets infected avoid them like the plague!

  hi, just curious to know if anyone knows of witnesses not applauding the nhs on thursday night.

  all i know is for some reason my mum and aunt only went out to listen but didn’t take part in the applause.

  not sure if they were just being strange or if there has been instruction not to take part.

  I didn't go out and applaud because my nearest neighbour is half a mile away and that would have just been weird.

  I was applauding in my head.
