is anyone prepping by buying food that has a long shelf life?

i have been messing with it for years.

buying fat free powder milk, bullion cubes, rice, beans dried, and other things that has a shelf life of 25 years.

Lets Think

Corona Currently at 2-3% fatality

If you look at this line up,, it is a little concerning!

Name	Date	Subtype	People infected (est.)	Deaths	Case fatality rate	Pandemic Severity Index
1889–90 flu pandemic[193]	1889–90	H3N8 or H2N2 ?	N/A	1 million	0.15%	N/A
Spanish flu[194]	1918–20	H1N1	33% (500 million)[195]	20–100 million	2–3%[196]	5
Asian flu	1957–58	H2N2	8–33% (250 million–1 billion[197])	1–1.5 million	<0.2%[198]	2
Hong Kong flu	1968–69	H3N2	7–28% (250 million–1 billion[199])	0.75–1 million	<0.2%[200]	2
Russian flu	1977–78	H1N1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
2009 flu pandemic[201][202]	2009–10	H1N1/09	10–200 million[203]	105,700–395,600[204]	0.03%[205]	N/A
Seasonal flu[t 1]	Every year	mainly A/H3N2, A/H1N1, and B	5–15% (340 million–1 billion)[206]	290,000–650,000/year[207]	<0.1%[208]	N/A

PIMO Elder with a Dilemma

i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.

i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.

stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).
Lets Think

As an long time elder and COBE, (ex of course now pomo) I strongly recommend resigning on your terms. Staying pimo will eat you up especially as an elder. This can be an excuse, pressure from all of this being mishandled. Then use the extra time to spend with your wife and family. At first it can be tough, but then comes the awesome freedom of not having to be "an example" doing things on your terms. Anyway my 2 cents.

@ kevini love your dubtown videos.

but this video - where you tell something about yourself - is the most valuable of all previous videos.

Magnum ,, totally agree. It is a different religion now. It has changed , its failed predictions etc, have show them to be just another reloigion or cult.

want to keep as short as possible, if any questions just ask.. just this weekend gone, i had two visitors (pimi single bros).they came round for a visit and a long chat.they had so many questions now that they have woken.

they are planning their fading(??

), one is an ministerial servant .

Vidiot, totally agree, I believe in the death by a thousand cuts way of reducing WT power. Like you said, every post, every seed of doubt planted, every utube video, every lawsuit, every time we even tell non witnesses the dangers of the cult, we make an impact. I really believe the tide is turning on the org. We will start to see numbers decline in a meaningful way in the years to come

What to do when you're PIMO and dont want to date a jw?
by nowawake14 in
1. jw

what are your thoughts on that?.
Lets Think

I was PIMO who dated and married a POMO. Then I became POMO myself. Its great! We understand each other have same escaped the cult mentality. Beining PIMO and getting involved with an in the box JW is setting yourself up for a load of trouble . There is growing exjw community, that is a great place to find new friend's and maybe even a romance, there is something to be said for having a shared background, failing that, stick to non jws, JW love has strings and is conditional , just my thoughts.

JWs just called at my daughter's house and said the end is near because .....

the world is getting worse, for example children are getting more cheeky!.

proof positive!

Lets Think

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
