i was watching the local news in the background and i heard a guy talking about 3m and how florida was getting screwed.

i didn't hear the whole report.. later, i was switching through the channels and i saw the same guy talking to tucker carlson (fox news).

come to find out he is the federal cdc equivalent at the state level.

Wakanda

That's sick.

Coming from a company that spread PFOA (the scotch guard stuff) to the whole world, makes sense.

3M: polluters and now traitors.

You heard it here first. U.S. District conventions CANCELLED!

by nowwhat? in

prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.

lost jobs can't afford to go.

not allowed any vacation time rest of year.

Jimmy you are totally right, I think that's why the rules from above were so different country to country. It was not completely avoiding the virus, it was avoiding bad publicity. Like in Britain with IICSA.

I mean really, when the health professionals were saying stay 6 feet away, they were promoting elbow bumps.

If they make more money with video, they'll have stop most assemblies, if not, they will continue. We'll see if BB is right. I think they make a lot at conventions, but what do I know.

Then the Yang Wans will leave for sure.

Coronavirus Positive

hey all,.

i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.

i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

My health practitioner who signs my prescriptions highly recommended washing out the nostrils because that is where viruses latch on. However, I think neti pots are a pain for multiple reasons, and those nasal cleaning contraptions worry me about mold, etc. (!) Maybe they are just a USA thing. But, you can probably get something like a saline nasal spray, and at the least it wouldn't hurt. Putting your name on it so others in the household do not use it also is a good idea. Maybe cleaning the part that goes in your nose after each use also, easier than cleaning a neti pot, boiling distilled water, adding the right amount of salt and waiting for it to cool... Oh wait I forgot you can probably just buy saline for neti pots, never mind. But nasal sprays are quicker and easier, IMO. There's one by arm and hammer, and there is Xlear as examples.

Hope to hear from Snare when possible, hope he is o.k.

WT, and more contact, Do you think it is Narc Hoovering?

by Wakanda in

the behavior from the org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm.

i'm not talking the hardcore armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.

* but, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules.

Wakanda

RTN: " how they worry about outward appearances; dressing up for zoom, acting pious."

Yes, just like a narc.

Thanks for your responses everyone!

I also think women are more likely to be contacted because the org does not think women own their minds. They think we get ideas from elsewhere, and are weak minded. Ha! Come and talk little flying monkeys. Let me show you a hint or two to start thinking.

Edit to say: People are going back because they did not do enough research.

They could care less for years, and now they are so "lovingly" trying to get everyone super active? (no t.p., shopping for elderly, food for elderly or anything useful, btw) On the other hand some are not contacted at all, and that made me ponder a bit too. Although, I must admit I just thought that they all know you are a dangerously mentally diseased apostate!^ But, I think you are cool. It got me thinking of the Narcisisstic Hoover, and I watched a video about it. It said it is hard to avoid, but think about the future faking from the past. In JW land that would be the paradise "carrot". She said, "You are in the future now. Are you where the Narcissist said you would be? Then why believe him now?" Anyway, she also said the trigger for the Narcissist to hoover (named because they try to suck back their victims) is feeling vulnerable and needy for some reason. It happens after a separation, and the GB were separated from a lot of their flock for a week or two, and they must feel vulnerable to this sickness since they are the target demographic. They, of course, felt vulnerable because a break means people leave. Then there is "never let a good crisis go to waste" and the sucking in POMIs just in case this is "the last of the last days". Remember in the early 90s, they were saying "we are deep in the time of the end". I wasn't going to link the video, but here it is. Let me know what you think of my thoughts and/or the video if you want. Thank you.

*Meh, IDK, since I believe a lot, not all, of this has it's roots in conversations with people at the branch starting rumors, and that comes from the top. I heard from someone who talked to a bethelite since this started that bethel is thinking this may be the beginning of the end, so there. ? Heresy I know,

^Complete narcissist discard.

ps. One rule on power is to get others to do your power play, and that is the GB using elders and COs.

Personal story

by Youngaposthate in

i was raised in this sect, 1st gen. was isolated from any family.

had suicidal attempts because of this sect.

family as always instead of being a backbone of support, victim blamed.

Wakanda

YA, Thank you for sharing an overview of the JW train wreck running over you. ACEs are so enlightening. Born-ins have so many, some more than others. You have my sympathies and I believe you have a positive future. You are fixing, the best way science knows, the damage done. That enables you to move forward to great things.

Thank you Zing.

I also found it appalling when you listen closely to M. Stephen Lettus take your money in 2015. He said something like "in this coming year we have predicted....there is more money going out than going in...for this particular time"

I think I'm right about the tense change too. Deceptive, and bad english if true.

No mention of the possible 2 billion in the bank.
