Vid obsession

by punkofnice in

i'm interested in your thoughts.. the media tells us a lot of agenda driven propaganda.

you're hard pressed to spot truth these days.. however, i'm told that the rona is now just a rotten flu and not the plague we were originally terrified in to believing.

last time i heard it was down in the hit parade to 16th nasty health thing.. all the people and family i know that have had the rona, have been complaining it's a very crappy flu.

There's a whole thing about protecting the vulnerable from the Rona, which I fully agree with.

The obsession is with Rona, don't we do the same for other infectious/contagious nasties?

I agree with you all, this is more political than health.

LM - You want your life back. So do I.

Bless your ol' cotton socks. I hope all the best for you.

My Mum has the big C, and the outlook isn't good. Here in this part of the UK they test her when she has an appointment ...but not for Rona.

All the people and family I know that have had the rona, have been complaining it's a very crappy flu. I'm sorry for anyone that had fatal results with it.

From what I observe NOW, we can live with it now. Am I wrong?

Why are varied businesses, countries and other types of places/people still very obsessed with it, as if it is the number 1 killer? Did the fear work? Do they know something I don't?

On a side thingy, I still see people on their own in the street or driving with rona masks on. Or those visors that look like they're going to weld something.

On another side note, if people are so worried about 'climate' because of plastic waste, why do they discard the face nappy diaper which isn't cloth but plastic which will probably strangle a turtle or something as it makes Earth burn? (Yes, I'm being sarcastic).

Law of Diminishing Returns

by Rattigan350 in

the law of diminishing returns states: the law of diminishing returns is an economic principle stating that as investment in a particular area increases, the rate of profit from that investment, after a certain point, cannot continue to increase if other variables remain at a constant.

as investment continues past that point, the return diminishes progressively.. from 1900 through the 1980s, the more witnesses that got baptized and pioneered, the more bible studies that could be had and the more additional witnesses that could join and then congregations would get bigger and they would divide and form in other areas.

but in the 1990s the law of diminishing returns kicked in, particularly in the bigger cities.

Autocracies abound

by ozziepost in

with present troubles around the world highlighting the role of autocrats, can dubs truly believe they’re immune?.

take the study article 6 in the february issue of the craptower.

one paragraph that will be read and obeyed states:.

We can strengthen our trust in the direction we receive from the elders

Why would it need strengthening unless it's not to be trusted in the first place?

by remembering that they pray for holy spirit when considering matters that affect the congregation.

Obviously a useless gesture considering all the sexual predators that get away with their crimes.

They also carefully consider relevant Bible principles and consult guidelines provided by Jehovah’s organization.

The Bible has nothing to do with it. They mean the company regulations from the Watchtower(tm). there's the clue in the word 'organisation'! (I see the Americans spell it wrong heh heh ).

Their heartfelt desire is to please Jehovah and to provide the best care possible for his people.

appeal to authority by using 'Jehovah(tm)'. All the sexual predators are not kept away. How is that 'best care'?

These faithful men know that they are accountable to God for the way they handle their responsibilities.

What rubbish. A lot of them are self serving bullies...not all.

Mark Sanderson

since mark sanderson of the gb is never married, does he have his own room at warwick or have a roommate?

.

I don't know anything about this bloke. I'm honestly not interested in him.

But, looking at him, I wouldn't trust him in a white van outside a kindergarten.

He reminds me of that UK SAGE fraud, Chris Whiity.

just an observation on my part.

punkofnice

Wingy - Oh please! Everyone knows the GB's favourite colour is - GREEN!!!

Indeed. I guess you refer to the colour of Bank notes.

Stephen Lett’s favorite color is Blue.

Just goes to show what bad taste the old paedophile protector has.

DOC

August 15, 2011 Watchtower (the study edition) pg 22 QfR: Memorial partakers. This is the number
of baptized individuals who partake of the emblems at the Memorial worldwide. Does this total represent the number of anointed ones on earth? Not necessarily. A number of factors—including past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance—might cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling. We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.

Was 536 the Worst year in history

by pistolpete in

jws believe that today, the time we live in is the worst time ever in history.

i know cause i just had a jw tell me yesterday this was the case.

he pointed to covid, the russian-ukraine war, the high gas prices and the food shortage happening.

Looks like the Jobots are still believing the fear mongering of the main stream media. It plays into their doom narrative.

It's surely subjective to individuals what is worst.

Jobots thrive on misery and the fear porn from the media.

Alice Cooper is touring the UK soon and I'm going to see him in Birmingham, so it can't be that bad.
