  Unpredictable Certainty

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with this pandemic upon us now in full bloom, its not surprising that religions are trying to entice their flocks back, with ' we told you so' rhetoric.

  the truth is, these events happen every so often and we should expect them.. another term for this unpredictable certainty is a black swan event, that is, a rare event, that has wide ranging, often devastating effects.

  we know bad things will happen, sometimes very bad things but we just don't know what, how or when.

For example, if you live an average life, you can expect to live through 2 economic recessions and 1 depression.

  Every generation is unique in its own way, but has to deal with much the same problems.

  Theory of Wuhan virus being created in a viral lab now being considered

  i thought it was a strange coincidence that there was a weapons lab right near the supposed wet market where it started.

  china needs to pay for this one way or the other.

  @Magnum

  Im not calling anyone a 'conspiracy theorist'. Please read my post again. It is plausible that the virus could have been:

  A. Deliberately made and mishandled or,

  B. Naturally made, examined in a lab and mishandled.

  C: Naturally made and spread socially.

  My point is that this isn't the first time deadly viruses have arisen throughout history, they do it on their own and they don't need human help, except to spread.

  Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

  i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

  are we prolonging this virus at all ?

  Stupid, selfish people will always make life harder for people who are trying to do the right thing.

  If we cant find a vaccine, then, apart from treatment, the next best thing is to eradicate the virus by way of no new cases occurring, anywhere.

  Sadly, the only way to achieve this is to lock down movement and interaction. If people decide to ignore medical advice, then the virus will keep spreading, forcing authorities into stricter control. There is no easy way out.

  watching right now with my wife.

  we are both born ins but have been out for a long time.

  my wife dislikes pretty much most things about the jw's and not much surprises her about the org but even she had to take a break because she was appalled by the cover up.

  Hi J.J.

  Unlike myself, my wife hasn't been keeping up with anything in JW land. Because of growing up as a female JW, she has seen her share of creepy brothers, so she isn't surprised by what goes on, but she was outraged about how much the org fights to cover its a$$.

  This thread is not about Covid-19

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  2. experiences

  every single news item, on every single news channel, and the majority of threads on this site, for the past three weeks seem to be either directly or indirectly related to covid-19.

  is nothing else happening in the world?

  has putin stopped slaughtering syrian civilians?

  Why wasn't the organisation directed to move to Australia or <insert alternative, less affected , first world country here> instead?

  We can go for walks, the military hasn't taken over, we have natural beauty and, as of today, a total of 54 covid-19 deaths, an extremely low per capita death rate.

  There are plenty of places that could have been alternatives.

  Are We Living In The Last Days?

  JW's are taught that they are at the centre of world events.

  They are conditioned into believing that they are alive during the most critical time in human history and because of that, are special, as only they know the outcome.

  I'm sorry to say I once believed it myself. With the benefit of hindsight though, it's sad that so many are prepared to delude themselves.

  The only undeniable thing that JW's have witnessed during their history, is the repeated failure of prophecies that were preached to the world as truth, oh, and also the generations of JW's who have died believing that they were the last generation.
