Interesting what you said PistolPete about the media feeding frenzy off of this and other bad news in an effort to survive =ratings.
Hereare the CDC stats on how many people have died this year.
the watchtower sees the pandemic as a wake up call for inactive jehovah’s witnesses to wake up before it’s to late.. it’s a wake up call for all worldly people to takes sides with jehovah’s organization before the great tribulation breaks out world wide.
it’s a wake up call for all apostates to beg jehovah for mercy, meet with the elders, confess their sins, and accept the discipline meted by the elders, and (possibly----maybe----you may be concealed in the day of jehovah’s anger.).
on the other hand reality teaches us another thing.

Favorite statement of the day! Thank you mickbobcat!
yes.
right now i would like to see how good the vaccine really is.
i’ve never taken a flu shot and so far, no flu..
People seem reassured by the fact that there is no covid virus in the vaccine. I am the opposite. I think there is some legitimate scientific reasoning behind the idea of "like cures like" when it comes to the immune system. Exposing the body to just enough of something so that it mounts its own defense.
Tricking the body sounds riskier.
Perhaps because I don't believe you can "trick" the body without some type of long term consequence. . Or nature for that matter.
i think it should simply be there to help us citizens.
and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .
period!!!

Good point Doc.
Of course, Congress is still getting pay raises on an already wealthy salary they get paid (couldn't bring myself to say "earned").
For those of us here who post and who are also known as "the taxpayers" who are funding all of this, there is no support for what Congress is trying to do?

I am surprised there are no "dislikes" and no counter-arguments on this thread.
Is there no one who likes the idea of so much funding leaving the United States and its citizens?

What is it they say, a picture is worth a thousand words?
we were told by watchtower that no way jesus was born on dec. 25th.
.
what do you think now?.
Millie210:
JWs do say that, but it completely misrepresents Daniel. The ‘leader’ in that passage was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. But aside from the specifics, the passage indicates the ‘leader’ to be an enemy of Jerusalem and not the same person as the ‘messiah’. Verse 26 says ‘messiah’ is cut off at the end of 62 weeks, not at ‘the half of the week’ as falsely claimed by JWs.
JWs use the same passage to falsely claim that Jesus died in 33CE (counting ‘62 weeks’ from an invalid starting point), which also has no basis in fact. It is more likely that he was born in 4BCE and died 30CE.
Wasn't there also a line of reasoning from Daniel 9:27 about gift offerings to cease at the half of the year. The times being mentioned there was 7 years. and apparently, it had a greater application in the death of Jesus at which time there would be no more need for gift offerings.
Thank you Jeffro, I love learning new things!

Nice reasoning seabreeze - I was like you with my earnest obnoxiousness lol, trying to help people "see".

That also would place his birth in the fall/autumn.
