  Good News About the Covid-10 and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society! n

  we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.

  our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.

  stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

  WT Wizard: At least when they had the Kool Aid party, it was only the cult members and not the whole community that was affected.

  This is key.

  These murderous jerks all give talks about respecting life.

  the losing jobs and having poor health will be applied for sure in whatever meeting is held.. but i wonder if anyone will connect the middle aged man losing his job and the old and the sick with the way bethelites are treated..

  hey guys,.

  i'm out of the jws for 12 years now and stopped thinking about the whole thing a long time ago.. but recently, i wondered how jws deal with corona?

  i've read on the forums that they suspended meetings and tried to hold them online.. but are they still doing field service?.

  Yes they are continuing field circus in my midwest city. They had mid-week meeting too in my area. My family has stayed home since before our congregation went on phone only; I wrote about that in another post. My congregation has field circus as usual, with a lot of pioneers, just no memorial campaign (JW optics). I heard of a couple going on a study yesterday in an apartment, not over the phone or Skype, in person. For crying out loud, supermarkets are asking only one person of the family! One person that went to the mid-week meeting had someone in their family with a fever, someone who has had a lot of health problems, so they attributed the fever to something other than corona.

  "Don't feel guilty", another narcissistic command on how to feel, when they have been indoctrinated to feel guilty and swim with crocodiles to make it to assemblies? Those old people are going out, idiots, but can't totally blame them. I blame the hateful8 that closed up shop March 7th as per the emails to betheltours2you and stopped sending out speakers, etc, then kept sending out vague letters to the elders only. I could wring their necks, but won't. This story needs to be a documentary.

  Meetings via video conference

  by FedUpJW in

  so i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.

  and guess what?

  one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.

  It has been around for awhile. It was in a Broadcasting episode a few years ago, showing a sister associating through video conferencing. In my area there have been people for years that need to tie in through the phone, with a couple that could probably connect through video conferencing. However, I haven't known any congregation that has it. I know for a fact that the elders have not looked into it in the past (like asking home bound people if they would like it/could learn to use it), but now they are buying, installing, and doing it. They are hypocrites again because they say they go after the one sheep/help the lone sheep. Baloney. They now get directives from "mother" and go ahead and do it. My question is, are they using this as another way to spy on us? Cookies, etc? IDK, and I know so little about computer spying. Also, the video recording they are doing could be for HUB by grabbing a pic to put in the person's file.

  The real Dracula?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i'm a bit of a horror fan - i love horror movies and the novel dracula by bram stoker is a pretty good read - especially the first four chapters, with jonathan harker being in dracula's castle.. i've heard before that stoker based count dracula on a 15th century voivod (prince) of wallachia who went down in history as vlad the impaler - apparently, he was extremely barbaric and cruel, as his name suggests.. vlad's father was also called vlad.

  daddy vlad was apparently part of an order of crusader knights, the order of the dragon.

  this order was formed to protect christian europe against muslim ottomans/turks.

  3 more letters dated march 13th, from the uk.

  there are different mailing addresses at the top.. 2020-03-13https://docdro.id/pxmmef72020-03-13https://docdro.id/adfw87y2020-03-13https://docdro.id/u2tov1ppetra!https://docdro.id/qqtzami

  Thanks Petra!

  They are doing this because of IICSA. That's the only reason I can find for them being so much more careful in the U.K. It is about publicity.

  No new news here in the mid-west. Memorial invite campaign and meetings still going on! Never mind States of Emergency or National Emergency!

  If the public knew their policies in the USA, Australia, etc., they would change their rules to be exactly like the U.K. Hard thing is breaking through to the news.

  Or am I missing something? I just can't see why the difference!

  I'm not worried for myself or family. I just don't want to be responsible for killing an older person. It is bad for older people, or those with complex health issues especially heart or lung. Also, the health system can't handle lots of people getting sick. For that reason, we are taking precautions.

  There is some really bad math out there trying to make it look like a nothing burger. Like comparing the deaths in the first couple weeks of this thing to a years worth of deaths from the flu and it's complications. That was Eric Berg, DC. Also, I saw a 'Dr" who compared the so called overall 1% death rate to the 1% chance of death over a year for a person who is 65 and said coronavirus is the same. Uh, no it is not. For 65 year olds it is much higher than 1%, plus what about spreading it to some 90 year old grandma who's chances are much worse? Are they throw away now?

  Hard to know where to post this, but here goes:

  In my area assemblies are cancelled now, but field circus is encouraged with the memorial campaign, no mention of cancelling meetings. No mention of ANY precautions/stoppages. No encouraging of letter writing or phone calling.

  It was mentioned at meeting this week that it might be the last memorial! Was that murderous loon trying to encourage attendance? We can only hope it's the last one, ha!

  There were a couple more aux pioneers announced last night. Idiots, but their brain is not their own.

  A presentation started with talk of how people are concerned about the coronavirus. as you go door to door??? OMG embarrassing.

  We were listening from home, of course.

  Many older people were there, a few not as old but with cancer, serious lung problems, etc. Again, brainwashed, and risking their life and others.

  All of them went down a huge notch in my book.

  Their attendance proved they would drink the kool-aid/ take a pill.
