We received a handwritten letter this past week from a JW that we don't know, so it wasn't the matter of a former JW associate trying to encourage or reactive us. It was probably a young pioneer putting in their time.

How stupid is it to write out a 100 "form letters" by hand, when a computer or even a copier could whip them out in 10 minutes and you just add the Dear So-and-so........

But it's all about COUNTING TIME -- NOT MAKING TIME COUNT.

You'll still be a "member" if they want to hold a JC and DF you.

You will NOT be a "member" if you break the law while doing their proselytizing.

Does anyone here really give a shit?

For certain, it is a lame argument to try to use on an active JDub.

I really don't know if you can fairly blame anyone for how the virus has been handled. So called "experts" disagree and continually change their opinions. Masks won't help. Masks should be mandatory. Etc.

Look at all the "western" Nations. Which have a better success rate with handling the virus? Did they do a lockdown? (Italy) Did they remain open? (Sweden)

In the beginning, it was "trial and error" as NO ONE knew what the virus was. There was a "learning curve". And now 9 months later, there still is no absolute consensus -- even on masks -- let alone treatments, etc.

Would the Biden Administration have done better? (Go see the Obama-Biden handling of Swine Flu.) I don't think things would be much different regardless of who was "calling the shots" on the matter.

Wake up, folks.

This is just one example of the extreme BS we can expect if the radical left gets their candidate (puppet) elected to the White House, as well as gain control of the Senate and House of Representatives.

New radical "hate speech" laws (down with the 1st Amendment) that suppress freedom of speech and freedom of religious opinion

Packing of the SCOTUS (goodby 2nd Amendment)

Statehood for Wash DC and Puerto Rico (4 new Democrat senators)

Defunding of Law Enforcement (while the rich have their private armed guards)

Oppressive EPA rules and regulations that shut down energy production and manufacturing

Taxes that crush the middle class out of existence (leaving only two clases -- the mega rich and everyone else at the below them)

Free HUD housing, SNAP, and healthcare for illegal immigrants

Mandatory HUD housing in suburbia

sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

Do elders go after people like they did before? Years ago elders it would be looking for things.

I think only real zealots typically "go after" typical JW's in an effort to "keep the Cong clean". Although if one of the Elders or the BOE has if out FOR YOU they may go after YOU. And, if you're stirring up shit vs quietly leaving or "fading", they may go after you in an effort to control what you are saying to JW's still "in".

My father voted for Biden this time around.

I'm so disappointed. He'd have never supported a Democrat when he was alive.

If YOU Were In Charge of the COVID Virus Situation How Would You Handle Things At This Point?

as of october 2020, if you were governor or president how would you handle this pandemic?

Tell those at greater risk to take special precautions to protect themselves, but tell the rest of Society to go back to living their lives as they see fit for their own circumstances.

It's real. Approx 500-600 die per day with (not necessarily "from") CV19

In comparison, 1600 die each day from cancer and even more die each day from heart disease.

The US State with the highest daily death count is Florida. Why? This disease is hell for old people. They should take special precautions. OTOH, our 30-something yo son and his GF both had mild symptoms and tested positive and were moderately sick for 3 days, and back to work in less than 2 weeks. People like them need to stop living their lives in fear and just start living their lives again like normal people.
