Do You Believe In Polls After This Last Debacle?

by minimus in

jw

i have never believed in the polls.

they are as useless as teats on a boar hog.

likewise, i think the media is so untrustworthy that no one should believe in their perspectives and holy opinions.

Im with you on this one minimus. I didnt think the polls were accurate and paid them no heed.

I never felt Trump would win this election because as I have stated before, he and Biden are mid level in power. They are who we are supposed to keep our eye on while greater nefarious deeds are being enacted by people with much more power and money than the two who are participating in this "non election"

It was always going to go how it's going to go and our angst and "participation" is busy work.

We as a society should be looking behind the shiny, noisy, distractions we are being coaxed to look at and focus our eyes on the shadows moving in the background.

My Prediction: Trump Wins Big

a month ago it might have been questionable.

not now.

after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

The pandemic is doing what its doing and following the rules of biology consistently. We know this by looking at its behavior and results all over the globe.

Anyone who thinks humans with paper masks are having a high (or even moderate) degree of impact on a virus helps me to understand the psychology of humans who wore garlic to scare away vampires not too long ago in human history.

After approximately 18 months the virus will have run the height of its course and at that point whichever hapless humans are in power will claim "victory' on their own behalf.

Question for the brighter bulbs here: why do you suppose in natures evolutionary survival of the fittest, that stupid is not eliminated as quickly as physical ineptness?

Final Prediction on Election

who wins?

who loses?

president/ senate/ house of representatives .

My thought is the election system in the U.S. has gotten very sloppy. I dont think thats a new thing. Now, its just being looked at really hard for a lot of reasons.

I would imagine some poll workers have to be shocked to see the loosey goosey way they have always done things being challenged.

Too bad the IRS cant be in charge of this. You can run a tiny one employee business in podunk USA and they will make sure you pay your share of employer tax and watch it like a hawk. Wasnt it Willie Nelson who had to hide his guitar from them when they went after him? They have you by the short hairs called your EIN and your SS numbers.

The Secretary of State from Pennsylvania is on TV now saying people have to "sign" to vote and that the poll workers (volunteers)are very "dedicated" and "serious".

So nothing about positive fail-proof IDs. No vetting. No real security systems in place at all. Its a circus.

2020 Annual Meeting of JW's

by HiddenPimo in

so i doubt out of all the pimo's someone hasn't been able to leak that they had the annual meeting.

does this mean that there was not one for the first time in jw history.

thoughts?.

millie210

oh darn,

So no one will get a timely reminder about the dangers of brightly colored socks?

Or tight pants?

Or why young sisters should only marry "company men" (appointed servants)

what IS this world coming too?

What's the Latest re How JW's are Associating and Preaching?

by mikronboy in

friends

i've been out of the loop for a while so some things have passed me by.

so i'm curious how jw's are affected by the covid virus.

are they still preaching or having meetings etc?.

millie210

jhine
Are they actively pushing Covid as a sign that the End is Near ( again ) ?

Here where I am, they are being uncharacteristically quiet about Covid.

It almost seems as though they would rather not have another failed "end timer" escapade that people can point to, so they are being very low key about the virus aspect. There is some hype about the political angle in as much as they are talking more about the king of the north and king of the south. By talking, I mean the JWs are talking amongst themselves about it. I have no idea if they are getting it from headquarters or from Circuit Overseers or just manufacturing it locally. It's gotta be a boring time for "true believers".

Biden brought back the use of the word "malarky"

Honestly, could he have used any other word to look more like a rusty old codger?

Being Removed From Facebook and Twitter

by minimus in

jw
friends

i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.

he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.

people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.

If this site was "unfair" we wouldnt even be having this conversation.

Hello Twitter, hiya Facebook

Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?

by Anna Marina in

yup - person has done nothing wrong.

but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?

if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

millie210

It looks like the elders are gearing up to do just that silentbuddha.

At first I thought this was a case of someone running around the community refusing to wear a mask, perhaps getting citations or arrested and the elders stepping WAY out of their jurisdiction (which let's face it, is all make believe anyhow) to try to legislate what is for now simply a "mandate" in some communities.

Turns out, there is more to the story.

Now it seems like the clearer picture is the authority the elders feel they have.

The mask is just adding fuel to the fire that this person is "non compliant"

This individual should find a creative alternative such as

1) wear a mask

2) demand a zoom meeting

3) or perhaps a 6 foot apart or outdoor meeting

Unless the individual offers reasonable alternatives - he runs the risk of looking, well..... unreasonable.

I would love to interview you

by Linton in

i want to be as transparent as possible.

i am a baptist christian, a student at seminary and i need to conduct an interview.

i recently moved cities and the great folks that i used to chat to from my local jehovah's witness congregation are not in contact any longer.

JWs are usually programmed to discuss their beliefs freely.

Maybe you could call the local Kingdom Hall number and explain what you said above. They will probably provide an elder or a pioneer who would be thrilled to skype with you.
