im not here to start a debate.. ive heard the above expression countless time over the past year and a half and genuinely want to know what it means.. if you feel this way, do you mean :.
a. there is no covid19 virus?.
b. covid19 is real but not a threat of any kind?.
Let’s be honest about masks. All they do is protect you from a sneeze or a cough at best, but that’s not enough for a virus that is 1000x smaller than the tightest weave of a standard mask. So masks were something to do for the fearful. Some felt more secure and safe. ~ DATADOG
Similar to condoms. Giving you a false sense of security while being screwed.
in my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.
the effect it had was incredibly horrible!
almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.
The Capitol "riot" was a farce. It was only a "riot" for those whose political ambitions are improved by the idea.
looting is happening everywhere like never before.
brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.
popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.
Top US states: Illinois, California and New York. ~ Anon
All of which have the toughest gun control laws in the US.
Yes, Virginia, in those States only the "bad guys" have guns.
most churches are back to in-person worship.
not jehovah's witnesses.
is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?
I think they are having high-level meetings analyzing the situation and trying to decide what to do - not because they care about the welfare of JWs, but because they care about what's best for the org. ~ Magnum
I agree with that thought. Wednesday GB meetings must have some hot and heavy discussions about reopening the doors. But I also think these old delusional men really believe THE END is imminent. In fact, they are praying like never before that that is the case. Only THE END will bail them out of all the problems they are faced with currently. Lawsuit$ and $ettlement$. Doctrinal changes that must be made (because the timeline ran out on the old shit). The exodus of the "best and brightest" (brain drain). And, the damage resulting from the internet.
Yes, Dear Brothers, THE END is near!
red cross is desperate for blood at work.
i considered doing it.
is this a disfellowshipping sin?
The bOrg wants your blood, sweat, and tears -- every last drop. (Your money too!)
You CANNOT donate it to another organization.
i found this interesting perspective on reddit.. post;.
i remember the moment the first real crack in my faith happened as a jehovah's witness.
i was sitting in the kingdom hall during the watchtower study where, as is common, the article was talking about how the israelites as a nation abandoned jehovah.. "but wait," i thought, "having a nation represent him here on earth was part of his plan.
I think that statement is very true!
I think most doubts are created by something said or something that happens within the Borginization. A person "ignores" all the little things until there is that one proverbial straw that brings everything to a grinding halt. Once a person opens the Pandora's Box to examine the religion, it's all over and can never be shut again.
just wondering if there is an apostafest scheduled this year of 2021/.
I have not seen flipper on here for sometime now. In California which is probably still under strict Covid mask and distancing and limiting crowd regulations so doubtful any meetup there this year.
Maybe someone will organize something in Texas or Florida.
something i've notice with born in jw kids posting on reddit, is that they have no problem telling off the elders.
this generation of born in jw kids just have no fear of who the elders represent because they know from researching on the internet, that jehovah is a created character by ancient people, and no different or real, than thanos.. these kids know exactly what's going on with the child sexual abuse in the organization.
they also have read and memorized the elder's book online.
Wow! Way to go!
news is broadcasting that death valley is getting close to breaking a record.
the highest air temp recorded is 134 but that was in 1913 way before the huge spike in co2.
now its 130 and its the end of the world.
Armageddon sells newspapers doesn’t only apply to JW news rags

Why were guns mentioned (when not in the OP)?
Maybe because a few people with guns could discourage the looting?
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Police believe two customers shot an armed robber at a GetGo on the northeast side of town this evening.
Police received a call around 6:30 p.m. about an armed man attempting to rob the convenience store, located near the intersection of Pendleton Pike and Shadeland Ave. Police say the man arrived at the GetGo in a stolen vehicle.
