hi, just curious to know if anyone knows of witnesses not applauding the nhs on thursday night.
all i know is for some reason my mum and aunt only went out to listen but didn’t take part in the applause.
not sure if they were just being strange or if there has been instruction not to take part.
We should pay these wonderful people who care for us when we are ill, and all the people keeping everything running, WHAT THEY DESERVE ! The people who have proved themselves to be the most vital are often the worst paid.
Do away with the Rich, we can't afford them anymore.
no work.
no school.
people being cooped up.
We've got Beer on the go, 40 pints ready in about a fortnight, lots of seeds got planted, other jobs got done, but saved a few jobs, because boredom can be a problem.
What helped me pass the time a bit, and we have been voluntarily isolating since 12th March, was going outside for a smoke, but seeing as I have Asthma, and smoking makes you more likely to catch this thing, I gave up last Wednesday, I still wander outside, but with even less reason than before.
I think I will start one of the bigger jobs that I have put off for ages, the only problem is, with lockdown, if you haven't got everything you need, you can't just buzz down the nearest supplier, they are shut. Have to order On-line, still getting deliveries O.K, food, Bird Seed, Wine etc. Looking forward to when it all gets rolling again....one day.
where it is commanded/commissioned that a group of people should build a house of worship called a kingdom hall??
---i have a lot of relevant scriptures on that subject.
i would also like to see where it says in the word of yahweh that he chose a man-made organization to be his "voice" that he speaks through; .
If you don't want to waste your time too much with any believer, just ask them for proof of their god that will stand any scrutiny.
Once they have failed at that, their religion does not matter one bit anymore.
Namaste.
this morning my wife made the comment ... "we'll probably experience famine next.".
i don't know that she'd come up with this on her own.
has anyone else heard a jw talking about this?.
There may be a lot of food shortages, and other items, due to the disruption of normal trade for a while, but not in the sense of starvation for the privileged parts of the World that are fed at present. We may have to find alternatives for our normal diet that's all. Shall we make a start by roasting and eating all Doom Mongerers ?
as the jws regroup after being in isolation it would be an ideal time to say the last days started in 2014. the territory will be ripe with people whose lives have been turned upside down.
Overlapping Centuries now is it ? We have had very long discussions on the dropping of 1914 on here, and though it makes less and less sense to hang on to the Doctrine, the further we are removed in time from it, they are as firmly attached to it as it is possible to be.
The problem for the G.B is the simple equation : No 1914= No 1919 FDS= Today's G.B are self appointed charlatans.
This they may possibly see as not too much of a problem, having seen how Trump supporters will swallow the most outrageously stupid of claims, how the Mind Control exerted by the MSM keeps them faithful, they may well in fact risk spinning some new nonsense, sorry new light, and see how it goes. They got away with the Overlapping generation.
When this epidemic is over, and JW's are slowing down and drifting away again, they will have to try something, to keep the $$$ flowing 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.
Here in the U.K our Prick Minister, Bozo, has tested positive, sadly he only has mild symptoms.
9 files arrived today.

They are still pushing the Elders to contact DF'd and inactive folks. I bet me and the Mrs do not hear a word from the Elders, I hope not in fact, but not doing so goes against the directive from the G.B.
The motivation for this is obvious, suck a few more back in to make Donations, because of course we are in the "final part of the Last Days" so a Bulging Bank Account is so important for the G.B at this time.
I also notice that obeying " Caesars Law", sensible of course, has been used again, but what about all those Dubs who ignored that in the past, again under direction by the G.B, at risk to their personal Liberty and often Life ? I wonder how they, or their families that remember this, feel about it now ? probably too Mind Controlled to realise that Scriptures are only plucked out to use for the convenience of the G.B at the time, not to be obeyed in all circumstances.
here, in our congregation in south florida (miami), no meetings, no field service in our congregation.. what is is like in your area?.
rub a dub .
In the U.K they said no more than two people, in addition to household members, to form a group. I imagine the Jdubs will tell them to all add to their risk by inviting two dubs to join each family for the Memorial Farce. Thus spreading the Virus. They are that ignorant.
...tell the sheeple that "jehovah's earthly organization" is financially facing critical times, hard to deal with, which could threaten its survival and that it urgently requires as much money as the minions can send.. like every other business in the world, the cult needs a constant source of cash to exist.
so with meetings, assemblies, and probably conventions being cancelled, the cash-cow is rapidly looking very precarious.. i reckon the financial brains in the wtbts will have devised a financial survival plan - based on the situation continuing/worsening.
:) the sheep have all been fleeced - time to skin them!.
If the Borg sees even a hint of an opportunity to raise $$$, they will exploit it, no doubt !
for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.
it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.
but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.
