we all know that the watchtower (jehovah's witnesses) say the reason for disfellowshipping is to protect the congregation from some uncleanness or threat.so they "quarantine" (shun) those they perceive can spread information that does not agree fully with their teachings/doctrines.it's almost like they want to liken it to a real disease by calling opposers "mentally diseased", "threat" etc.
will the current state of affairs in the world regarding this pandemic strengthen their cause/argument in favor of isolating within their ranks?
i can visualize them in the near future even having parts at the hall or assemblies pointing back to this pandemic and saying something along the lines of "brothers what do you think would happen if we would not have quarantined and stayed away from any that were infected?
I'm not sure why on this site some of my post get treated as links and put in blue text...
When you end a sentence with a period put a space after it before starting the next sentence. In this case you wrote 'threat dot so' and 'doctrines dot it' with no space after the dot, so they became web links, even if they lead nowhere.
some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).
also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .

Hi Wakanda, actually I did believe you! - but I was surprised at how many times he/she had posted on the same topic drawing attention to the magazines.

Wakanda is right! Here is a list of Dydeonwl's posts.
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.
@ Anna Marina,
You said "Vitamin C with Riboflavinoids..."
Did you by chance mean 'with Bioflavonoids'? When I google it bioflavonoids keeps coming up.
If it's really ribolavinoids can you give a brand name?
Thanks in advance!

In the United States, Major League Baseball announced today that the start of the MLB season will be delayed until further notice, but for at least two weeks. The season was originally planned to begin on March 26.
Spring Training games are also cancelled starting today, March 12, for at least two weeks.

LV, It was broadcast on the Oxygen channel by my TV provider, which is Xfinity, a large cable company. There are other TV companies that also carry the Oxygen channel, AT&T being one (a friend is getting it there). Based on that I think the coverage would have to be nation wide in the US.
I'm not sure how the FOX tie-in works but if some FOX affiliates are picking it up that's even better.

So did this go out nationally in the USA?
Yes it did, but the Oxygen channel is a small cable channel, just one of hundreds I suppose. However the documentary was thorough, revealing, and excellent overall. It was so well done that it may spin off into greater coverage by other investigative sources.
It was a very good step in exposing the Watchtower organization for what it really is.
there's a wonderful channel called "the blue envelope" and the vlogger does exjw topics, oftentimes from a very interesting and unusual perspective.
a real treasure - he's a nerd's nerd!.
anyway this ones subject is the western new york connection with jws.
If that is truly the case, they must not have much confidence in Jehovah's ability to protect them against "evil spirit forces" while they do his work in that town.
Yes, it's odd how the Devil always seems to be more powerful than the Holy Spirit that is supposed to be guiding and protecting Jehovah's Witnesses.
when i was a kid they implied that all animals and humans were vegetarian before the flood but i don’t know the scriptures they used, anyone know?

*Maybe that have restated it. If any can find a reference, please post it. The latest Watchtower Library installed on my computer is from 2001.
Could they change their mind on this topic even if they wanted to? After all it's the Bible that says "For all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food."— Today’s English Version, Genesis 1:30.
To acknowledge that animals have been meat eaters all along, and that they will continue to be even in the 'paradise earth' would be to say that they Bible is wrong.
I don't think they would be willing to go there.
I guess they could really reach and say it was 'symbolic,' . But, as already mentioned by others, it's more likely that they just won't mention it any more.
