this 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.
This virus kills people. I knew some who have died from it. All of them had underlying health conditions or old age against them.
The government’s reaction to this crisis plays well into the left/green agenda.
The leftist media has told us for the last 10 years that air travel, meat and oil are all bad and that we can/should all work from home. It looks like they were able to achieve their agenda.
I forgot to add basic minimum income. Looks like we’re getting that as well
coming from gods appointed channel and wifelike organization to his special people and possession is cut and paste cdc guidelines and what other organizations and govt.
programs those in financial need can look to for help?
!
..but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one..
.. except their guidelines! :)
IC
And their money!
It kinda pisses me off the the organization teaches to live a simple life thus not contributing to taxes but when in a bind to avail ourselves of government handouts.
1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!
-oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.
stick with something dignified and subtle.
Camera off, microphone muted here. They hint to turn it on but we don’t want prying eyes in our house.
When they started the zoom more were muted and camera off but most of the sheeple conformed to the pressure.
i guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.
less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.
if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.
Mrs hoser and I are still working as we are both in essential services. I had to change the way my business is run to meet health board requirements but it is running smoothly now and our revenues are steady.
I’m working on expanding the business as capital improvements are cheap and the banks are in a lending mood
there was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.
however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.
also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.
They are writing letters to get their time in
a hunch has just struck me.we get frequent accounts in the literature and videos of people whose dysfunctional lived have been turned around by studying with the jw's and coming to belief in the org (sorry, jehovah).
evangelical type christian groups also use similar testimony stories.here's the hunch:the purpose of these is quite different among jw's compared to other religions.other groups use these testimonies primarily to persuade non-believers.the jw's use them to reinforce the beliefs of those already in the "truth.
"any thoughts?.
These stories (experiences) are not unique to Jehovah’s witnesses. They are used as a motivational tool by salesman to make their targets(prospects) feel bad about themselves and purchase the product they are pitching. Same thing in big companies this division is doing blah blah profit and you need to work harder. It’s all unverifiable bullshit that keeps manipulative pricks at the top of the heap and us trusting suckers at the bottom.
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??
Business can reopen but with restrictions that will increase their costs. Can joe public afford the extra costs?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the letter was real. Imagine the liafuckingbility if a covid positive jw was going door to door spreading the good virus.

The price of food will rise. Food banks are already stretched thin. People forced out of their jobs don’t have money. Farmers will have a hard time planting and harvesting their crops this year due to travel restrictions on labor and are unable to source supplies they need. If people aren’t allowed to get back to work this will get ugly.

If the economy remains closed more people will die from suicide and starvation than Coronavirus would ever kill.
