Just this last weekend in Western Australia people were buying freezers. There is none left in our stores and there's a 6 to 8 week wait for new stock to arrive. A sales lady said we should pre order if we wanted one because it looks like we will miss out if we don't. Now there's not much meat left in the supermarkets, particularly mince.

The Evil Masterminds Behind COVID-19: Charmin and Cottonelle
by keyser soze inof all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.
all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.
people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

Nathan Natas is right.
Have your wife put it in writing and date it. By asking her to do this she might realize she doesn't even take herself seriously and she is riding on emotion.

Covid-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.

That's good news Simon and shows how quickly it can be contained with the right action.

Watchtower 67 2/15
12 But is nationalism the only prop in which false religionists have placed their trust? In addition thereto, and in direct opposition to God’s kingdom by Christ—His instrumentality for bringing real peace and prosperity to mankind—Satan has brought forth a supranational body. It is described in Revelation 17:8, 11 as the ‘peace beast’ that appears first between the two world wars, goes into eclipse during World War II, and is thereafter reactivated for a season. It is the now-defunct League of Nations and its successor, the United Nations.

When I used to attend in the 70s and early 80s babies were in prams. The isles were wide enough to allow for a pram to be put next to the mother. In that picture the lady, possibly the mother, has been oddly placed in an extra chair in the isle, where a pram would otherwise be. -

Confidentiality by the WBTS
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inhow the wbts has definitely broken confidentiality in their own words!!!.
proverbs 25:9 "do not reveal what you were told confidentially".
a body of odours letter refers to this verse and instructs them when handling congregational matters involving legal issues.if an elder were to breach this (minister-communicant privilege prevents any body of odour from revealing things said in private to him by a member), then he automatically waivers the minister-client privilege.

Due to the headship rule, if a female were to confess a sin, the father or husband would always be informed. Their is no confidentiality for them.

May 2020 Watchtower They Admit, they don't know
by Listener inthey'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.. here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.. a prophecy recorded by ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.
if we view the prophecies of ezekiel 38:10-23; daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.. that's an awful lot of assumptions to make.
what they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events.

Here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.
A prophecy recorded by Ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.

That's an awful lot of assumptions to make. What they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the Bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events. At the same time they state that what they are claiming may only happen.
They fail to explain why theses scriptures are even talking about an event in the future when they have already been fulfilled.
