i went to my local walmart today and most of the can goods and frozen foods were sold out.
i did a web search from where i buy ammo from, lucky gunner, sg ammo, buds and others.
bulk ammo is sold out just over night.
Jimmy Young I can't imagine how guns can help during a health crisis, will you be shooting the virus with your ammunition?
How come come the bunker mentality lives in USA? I'm beginning to think Armageddon paranoia has leaked into a susceptible Bible thumping public.
sacramento — gov.
gavin newsom called sunday for all senior citizens and residents with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home, as well as for all bars, wineries and brewpubs to close, launching the state's most sweeping effort yet to slow the spread of coronavirus.. no other state has imposed such restrictions on residents age 65 and older.
newsom said his orders do not come with enforcement but that he expects residents and counties to follow his protocols.
WT Wizard, there is no point in recommending taking vitamins above the minimum required. It has no effect and we get the minimum from the average diet. Anything above what is needed is pandering to the We££ne$$ approach to health.
hey!.
first of all i want to mention that i'm not a member of the jehovahs witnesses.
however i'm open and non-judgemental towards any kind of religion.
Chicken and egg problem, which came first?
The evidence is present to exit from this conundrum, there is no need to be stuck in a loop. Instead there is a continuum of life. Eggs came before chickens -- and birds can be traced from fossils in the geological record back to therapods, egg laying 'dinosaurs'.
Evidence for evolution is found in the fossils showing that all life has evolved from the same archaic biological material (DNA) back in the Precambrian period.
Why would anyone want to deny evidence? Only because fossil evidence denies the need for a god.
seriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.
How will they react when they have to go back to the old routine? Aw! I was enjoying the freedom...a sense of lightness, the lack of being pushed all the time....
As Cha ching says, for brainwashing to work the indoctrination needs to be relentless, if it stops, it gives the victim the opportunity to reflect on the situation, possibly explore new avenues, have new ideas form. Not going to the meetings is very refreshing!
what is the benefit of god's kingdom?.
the watchtower said when it started out in 1879 that god's kingdom had already arrived in heaven in 1874 and that its work would be complete by 1914. .
with heroic slogans of "destroying the kings of the earth" and "all enemies of christ the king" etc by 1914, "god fearing" humankind was to have been restored to prelapsarian innocence and the earth to a global edenic paradise.
Yes Wonder, God's invisble kingdom brought about business as usual --perhaps it doesn't exist?
hebrews 13:8.
"jesus christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.".
the book of hebrews declare that jesus is god in this verse.
Believers in Jesus have to take everything on trust about him. No historical eyewitness saw Jesus and no one wrote down verbatim what he said. His name does not even appear in any text until the end of the second century in fact neither does his description "Christ" appear until much later. The Greek text says Chrestus meaning "good" [man], the same word was used to designate earlier God-men saviours. In the early centuries he was mainly known just as "the Lord".
As for the "Word of God" this was borrowed, like much NT material from current Greek philosophy giving some needed gravitas to the Christian text.
I suggest that the reason the text at Heb 13;8 was included in the BIble was because the concept of Jesus as the Son of God and the Chrestus was constantly changing and the bishops (yes they had bishops: episcopoi) needed to stamp out dissent and give some clarification. Note the context; Heb 13:9 warns "not to be led astray by all sorts of strange doctrines". JB
Like the JW doctrines today, beliefs about Christ (and everything else) change over time, JWs no longer worship Jesus for example, and are based on expediency, that is, what is now favourable to believe for the sake of the furtherance of the cult.
my wife pimi wife said today...." the tribulation has started" i was like wtf... i know things are bad.
but...... we have had other pandamics and market crashes in the past.
1889: russian flu 360,000 perished.
A quote from the poet WH Auden: People are not sent to hell, they (PIMIs) insist on going there themselves.
why did i have so many jobs?.
i became a velcro salesman, but i couldn't stick with it.and besides - it was a ripoff.. i tried my hand at a career in tennis, but it wasn't my racket and i was too high strung.. i was a masseur for a while, but i seemed to rub people the wrong way.next i got a job at a pool company, but the work was too draining.then?i was a historian, but i couldn't see a future in it.i took a job as an elevator operator—the job had its ups and downs, and i got the shaft.. i became a banker, but i had an affair with boss's wife because she promised to hold my interest right up to the moment of withdrawal.. i just lost my job as a psychic.
i did not see that coming.if a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.. i quit my job working for nike.
I used to be a dentist but became too down in the mouth.....after all drilling holes in teeth is boring.
if the holy spirit is an "active force", how can it be grieved (ephesians 4:30)?.
in other words, according to the jw's, one can make jehovah's "force" sorrowful?
this is an example of how the jw leaders have perverted the gospel in translation, and have put the jw's in a position in which they must perform intellectual gymnastics in order to maintain their false position.
Only kidding Cofty like I imagine RubaDub is

@ Rub a Dub. Speaking as another active JW, you will have to get your hair cut brother or they'll take away your public talk privileges.....
