  since donations boxes are going to lie empty for who knows how long, will the warwick parasites instruct (aka insist) jw's to now donate via bank standing order?.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  this 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.

  "Herd immunity" is only achieved by 80-85 % of the population being Vaccinated, or the old diseases now controlled, would have disappeared long before vaccines came on the scene.

  Immunity cannot be passed on. Let that sink in. A small immunity may be passed on by a breast feeding mother, but this is not effective at protecting all, hence we sensibly vaccinate as many people as we can.

  This virus has been found in people who have had the disease and recovered, and then tested positive again. They either did not build up any immunity, and were re-infected, or it lay dormant and came back, again no immunity.

  The U.K Governments "policy" which is basically go home, stay two metres away from others, and if you can manage it die, that saves their Government money, is Totally Insane, and is the callous, calculated murder of more than likely many hundreds of thousands.

  Do you really think this will work out well ?

  I notice they said they will let the Elders know how they can contribute to this, i bet they did not mean with Audio or Visuals contributions, but, as usual with the money grubbing Org, with $$$.

  They need MORE $$$$$

  by TallTexan in

  i haven't been to a meeting in years, but i was recently told by a friend of mine that they have really been hammering the 'use of your valuable things in support of the kingdom' in many of the talks and thursday night parts.

  i know they used to mention it all the time, but he said it's gotten really bad lately.

  i told him that's because the membership in the western (translate that to "richer"...lol) countries has really fallen off and even become negative in many countries and that the 3rd world countries can't contribute enough to support the great publishing empire.

  Give us your money "in support of the Kingdom" ? What Kingdom ? The Kingdom based in Warwick, where the G.B and their toadies live in splendour.

  The U.K now has 456 cases, and the NHS, cash starved for over a decade by Tory Austerity, an unnecessary Political choice, that achieved nothing, apart from an understaffed NHS, without enough essential equipment, including basic protective stuff for Staff.

  Add to this our decimated Social Services, and the fact that much caring work is done by elderly relatives, and we have a recipe for disaster of huge magnitude. That is not scare-mongering, it is fact.

  The U.K is a mere 16 days or so behind Italy in the effects of this virus, the U.S.A about the same behind us.

  The sensible measures, basic commonsense, as outlined by Simon, are unlikely to be seen in the U.K, until it is way too late.

  Islamophobia & anti-Semitism

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  the muslim council of britain and uk jewish organisations want the uk government to enshrine into law their perceptions of what kind of speech constitutes islamophobia or anti-semitism/hate crime.

  should british christians follow suit?

  in the movies & on tv we constantly hear actors shout out, "jesus christ.

  Antisemitism has been defined above by LUHE, as has Islamaphobia. But the latter can descend in to Racism if some people lump all followers of Islam together with the Islamic Extremists who become terrorists, obviously this is wrong.

  They do not extend such racism, if you like to call it that, it is really extreme ignorant bigotry, to Christianity, strangely, which has its own extremists who bomb Abortion Clinics etc.

  I fully endorse what LUHE said above " Any religion is fair game for questioning, criticising and poking fun at. ".

  How many Christians were there in the 1st century?

  by yaddayadda in

  2. beliefs

  just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".

  (can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .

  in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.

  They have always claimed that they are going back to the "true Christianity" as practised in the 1st century, so they agree those early followers were true Christians. This of course ignores the proof that there were a good number of Jesus Cults in the Ist century, with wildly differing beliefs.

  But quite obviously the number of Jesus followers must have been great enough before the end of the Ist Century, when the Borg says " Apostasy" began, to have more than filled 144,000 places in heaven.

  Just another stupid JW Doctrine that does not stand up to scrutiny.
