Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis 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.

“I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)
by slimboyfat ineven if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.
not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.
survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

The misinformation on this is amazing. Stop panicking. Stop spreading bull shit. LMFAO triple antibiotic nose plugs. What a fucking joke. This is just one bull shit thing of a lot I read above. Antibiotics do not now nor ever have been something to treat a virus.
The poster is correct that it can help. It helps because it is a mechanical barrier between the inner nasal passages and the outside world.
Vicks or essential oils or even butter would do the same. Its not the antibiotic on the cotton ball - its the barrier.
Since you (or the previous poster or myself) dont know everything. Why dont you limit the lmao and show some kindness. Then you could actually be helpful.

by minimus inone of my favorite actors is robert de niro.
some of his later movies were so so but overall i think he was outstanding.

Ever notice a lot of JWs don't have pets?
by JimmyYoung ini was told by several elders to not get a dog when i was looking for one in the 80s.
the end was close and we needed to focus on the preaching work.
i know some have pets but a lot don't.

Jws don't view life as being on a continuum. It borders too close to supporting evolution in their minds.
So there are animals - dumb and unreasoning and basically beasts,
And then theres man! Created in Gods image!
I dont think the leadership wants to encourage the flock in finding out how smart and "like us" animals are.
Plus, you need to donate those dollars NOT buy dog biscuits!

Interesting that IF the molester is an appointed servant and some years have passed since the "incident" then he gets a free pass and the record doesnt follow him.

Upon learning of a terminal illness would you return to being a JW to appease your family?
by NVR2L8 inthis is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.
but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.
of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".

Don't the Witnesses teach that the basic masses will be resurrected if they die before Armageddon on the basis of the ransom sacrifice?
So why wouldnt that same teaching cover the inactive JW?
Or are we talking about the standing of a DFd person here?

I don't think shes accomplishing anything lasting but there's the potential for damage to her young psyche.
Shame on her parents for selling her out.
