  "Great Reset" and the Borg

  by mikeflood in

  wow, just watched a video from the 'world economic forum' , a respectable organization by the way, not the usual conspiracy lunatic theorist.

  it says that by 2030 meat is gonna be a treat not widely available like today, that the us is not gonna be a global superpower anymore, instead a handful of countries will dominate and that people is not gonna own nothing but will be happy.. well, that would help the borg to keep the craziness going on.. thoughts?

  what's this great reset?.

  2020 was the best year for the Pandemic!

  by pistolpete in

  the watchtower sees the pandemic as a wake up call for inactive jehovah’s witnesses to wake up before it’s to late.. it’s a wake up call for all worldly people to takes sides with jehovah’s organization before the great tribulation breaks out world wide.

  it’s a wake up call for all apostates to beg jehovah for mercy, meet with the elders, confess their sins, and accept the discipline meted by the elders, and (possibly----maybe----you may be concealed in the day of jehovah’s anger.).

  on the other hand reality teaches us another thing.

  No, no, no, and no!

  I don’t know where to start.

  First the population has exploded in the last 200 years because of one thing. Cheap energy. Oil. It has allowed us to produce more food than ever before.

  Had this pandemic been different one hundred years ago. Yes, it would have killed a lot less people as the weak would have already died of something else.

  politicians and the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses have much in common.

  somehow the rules don’t apply to them the same as the poor saps on the bottom of the heap.

  1976-governing body after playing up 1975 to the flock and some making life altering financial decisions.

  2020- Canadian politicians after telling citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to stop the spread of covid 19 but they themselves took their tropical vacations “ We did nothing illegal, you didn’t have to cancel your travel plans, in fact you should be ashamed for being so selfish and not supporting the travel industry”

  Funny how it all works, rules for me and rules for thee.

  Even though I learned ttatt at 40ish I don’t believe the previous years were totally wasted. I will admit I was duped but waking up older I missed out on a lot of negative youthful pursuits. One of my jw friends left in his 20s. He was young, got into drugs, got a girl preggo then she left him and he is paying child support and alimony for at least 20 years.

  I think our experiences in life are negative or positive depending on how we frame them in our minds. I can’t change the family and religion I was born into nor the fact that it took half my life for circumstances to allow for my mental freedom. I can change my attitude though. I learned an honest work ethic from growing up in “the truth”. I also learned how to give a decent presentation at a business meeting from the ministry and the TMS. It’s all crap, just a different pile.

  The watchtower must think it’s followers are utterly incompetent. It takes about a 2 second google search to find out what is in the covid vaccine.

  Thoughts on Zoom

  the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.

  the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

  conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.

  We’ve had the zoom for a solid 9 months now. I’ve noticed more and more are just zooming out as time goes on. Mrs Hoser is good at multitasking and does the laundry during the meeting. That wouldn’t fly if the camera was on and the mic not muted.

  There is an us/them mentality. Those who follow direction and have a camera in their living room and those who prefer no invasion of privacy. The divide is real.

  the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

  then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

  Magic that’s it. Out in service in a rich neighborhood some of the sisters were picking their post Armageddon houses. How in the hell are you gonna maintain that in a post industrial society without windex and toilet bowl cleaner, that is if you actually can have running water to flush.

  Yep magic, Jehovah’s magic will make your shit flow downhill.

  Communism in the USSR ended up as a failure. Everyone was supposed to be equal but a caste system developed as it always does. The little people doing the grunt work got tired of supporting the elites and it all fell apart. If the JW paradise was to come true and everyone got to take the spoils of the dead who will maintain the material possessions. Who’s gonna fix the roof that leaks and till the ground.

  I know jehovah is supposed to bless the ground but some of the jws I know are completely clueless when it comes to what it takes to survive. They are mentally lazy and don’t think past next weeks Christian life and ministry.

  How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower

  i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.

  by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.

  all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

  I think first generation jws are true believers. The ones like my parents that left behind the world and have 60 years of sunk costs in this religion. 2nd generation jws not so much believers and third gen it’s all they know.
