  What damages will they be claiming? Imagine having to tell the court how many JWs are leaving because of watching their own videos.

  Wearing Masks/ China&Other Asian countries

  i've been reading that in asian countries if you go outside without a mask on, your looked at oddly and with disapproval.

  it seems they have been wearing masks for years.

  yet uk/us/canada/ and other countries do not.

  Of course, next we will be told that wearing masks is mandatory once there are sufficient available. Then since our identity will be hidden, we will be told that chipping is required. I was wondering how the population would be swayed into believing that chipping was necessary.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  I don't see how they can get accurate numbers of people who get the flu or the percentage that die from the flu.

  There a e a number of different strains of the flu, not everyone who has it reports and there is a large number who won't get it because they have had a vaccine.

  Here's something he wrote in one of his first posts, nearly a year ago

  "A lifetime to talk about yet I am not old."

  He did get to share with us some of those many stories.

  the watchtower witch-hunters are still sending out subpoena's and closing down websites.

  it is safer for simon, this board, and us if we send out internal confidential documents privately.. from time to time i will let you know something has arrived that you might want.

  just send us a "pm" and we will give you the download links.. you do not need to include any personal information.

  This is a comment made in the latest Study Watchtower under the main discussion of humility

  11 Jehovah values humility more than ability and unity more than efficiency. Therefore, do your best to serve Jehovah with humility. In doing so, you will promote unity in the congregation (Read Ephesians 4:2, 3.

  They are always so presumptuous to decide what Jehovah views are.
  
  The only scriptures they used to support their claims is Ephesians 4:2,3 which states

  2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

  This scripture does not support the idea that God values humility more than ability or unity more than efficiency.
  
  It makes me wonder if they think that God values ability more than efficiency but I guess the point is that they don't think that neither of those qualities are very important to them and from the many stories we have heard over the decades, particularly from those working at Bethel, this is true.
  
  Often ability relies on education and training and since they think that pride leads to a person studying for long periods of time, it's easy to see why they have made this statement.
  
  They don't have a great deal of respect with the idea that being efficient is an excellent quality to consider in whatever we are doing, unless it's a hobby that is all about fun and enjoyment.
  
  But the worst thing about their comment is that they put two qualities above another two qualities and they don't even relate to each other. That is, you can have humility and unity regardless of how efficient or capable a person is. It's a nonsense statement yet as part of their divine worship, they will study this and be in awe at the wisdom of the GB.

  Hidden PIMO, the figures that you have given are figures that they claim are 'produced' and are not the actual amounts printed. The amount produced can be whatever they want to claim including the amount printed and the number of times it is viewed online.
