when to begin the countdown of the 2300 days?
to get an idea, it could be helpful to discern when those days end relative to time times and half a time.. i see a possibility that the 2300 days end the same day as the 1260 days.
that is because the woman in revelation 12 will be fed 1260 days.
I believe it has something to do when the moon is in it's 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars. But I'm sure there is something connected about a talking snake and a piece of fruit.
(But don't quote me on that. I either don't have the same high quality psychedelic drugs as John did -- or maybe I'm not quite as manic.)
how about all of the printing activities including wt and awake magazines ,tracts and brochures etc.?.
are they all still a going concern ?.
how many people would there be on average at any one bethel home ?.
A teenager with a color copier could do their printing for them now.
it is truly heartwarming to see so many new ones sign up to this site as most of us know it can be quite stressful at first ,because of the indoctrination we have all gone through in going on apostate sites .. the guilt ,paranoia ,fear , apprehension ,even being a judas fear, all unnatural fears put on us by a mind controlling cult.. that wants us to be captives of there religious interpretations about the bible.. however this and other sites like it are the only way we can find out about {the truth about the truth} ttatt.. welcome everybody..
Reading Benny's comment it came to mind that you Newbies must be sure to erase your computer history lest you risk being discovered by your family!
i’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.
what better time than now for a fader to fade?
no meetings, no field service, no elder visits, no assemblies, no convention, and no other bullshit busy work going on.
The time for "fading" will be when things gradually return to "normal". One just has to say they are "at risk" and thus continuing with social distancing for a while longer (and a while longer, and a while longer), including NOT attending meetings (for a while longer).
this night i could not sleep and my thoughts went on and on.
the result:.
i observe that many jw family members follow the instructions of the elders at zoom meetings like they come directly from god.
There is the about the same risk these days as it was in the past. To blindly follow the GB/WTS means one will be ill prepared for life in the outside world. One will be poorly educated and likely socially inept. These and other factors will likely cause the person to be low income and ill prepared for the future.
I don't see it MORE risky than in the past because nothing really has changed. This (COVID issue) is just another "End of The World" moment for JW's. This will pass just as all the other have passed for the past 100 years and they will forget all about how fanatic they all were and mope around until the next event.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
i just woke up and i'm new on here.
if your an unbaptized publisher can you be disfellowshipped or dissociated?
please send me a message.
Marking and DFing are really the same thing
No they are not.
If you are DFd, other JW's can be "punished" (threatened with being DFd) for associating with you. If you're "marked" most people won't even remember the talk about it and only the Ricky Righteous crowd will shun you (and those that WANT to shun you). Your "friends" (real ones) can ignore the BS without serious consequences.
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.
Just because governments ease their restrictions and lift stay-at-home orders, DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO OUT! If you feel you are especially at risk, stay at home. Be safe!
COVID19 is a Pandora's Box. It's open. It's out. There will always be bugs.
this particular question or evaluation of the people who are participating jws has come up before in debate.
the more one deeply analyzes this the answer usually comes up in the affirmative yes.
when you consider the fact that jws members will abandon their own family, go as far as kill themselves under the direction of these men, it really confirms just how deep the mental and conscious indoctrination these men have gone.. .
Surprised? They have a direct HOT LINE to GOD!
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??
In most places, YES.
This thing is not going to "go away". It's a health consideration with which we will be contending for years to come. Just like influenza. Just like all other diseases/illnesses. Some people will just be sick (in one degree or another) for a few days or few weeks. Others, unfortunately, will suffer serious health consequences, and others will die from it.
We'll all be keeping more distance. Business will have to adapt to that. That's going to reduce the capacity of restaurants as the space the seating further as well as airlines as perhaps the center seat must be left open.
Many will be wearing masks indefinitely in hopes of being better protected though it seems masks are like condoms in that they just give you a false sense of security (while being screwed).
Be safe!
i absolutly hate the jw religion.
i hate the fact that my wife whom i love with all my heart is so brainwashed by them.
i hate them pos's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I despise those at the top of the Borg that are fully aware of the malicious scam they are playing and the harm it causes. Everyone else I just see as a "victim".
