  Covid 19 True Infection Rate / Proof of Misinformation

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  this is interesting.. you've probably heard of "asymptomatic spread" which is, people who are infected with the virus and are spreading it, but who have no symptoms.. but is it accurate?

  is it supported by the statistics?.

  this video analyses the facts and concludes that we've been given misinformation due to faulty testing.

  What affect did the 1918 flu have on the Bible Student Movement?

  maybe someone has already brought this up, but a news article i ran across:.

  https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/03/health/churches-covid-1918-lesson-wellness/index.html.

  brings a question to my mind.

  Both Conventions were silly, the 'flu was not entirely over then. If you look at the figures, it appears they did not lose too many, the big Exodus took place after 1925 , when Rutherford's nonsense about that year became obvious as the ramblings of an alcoholic.

  This caused many, who were loyal to Russell and his teaching, to leave, and continue on their own. Some remnants of this group remain active today in the USA and in the U.K, and are still known as Bible Students.

  LUHE wrote " I still can't get my head around the fact that all deaths within 28 days of a positive test count as Covid deaths - these are still the official statistics, AFAIK.".

  I agree, I think that is a bad statistic to hang too many conclusions upon, that figure does not divide out those who died of something else, even though they tested positive earlier. I guess in many cases it is difficult to be categorical, but certainly those who have not presented with Covid symptoms should NOT be in that figure.

  The Secrets She Keeps

  anyone watching this?

  it's an australian production with the actress who plays lady edith in downton abbey.. great drama.. there was a surprise mention of jehovah's witnesses in episode 2. we just started watching episode 3 and, well, they are going to hate the kind of publicity this gives them!.

  it will build on the terrible reputation they have after the commission investigating abuse within organisations, which the wts tried to obstruct and obfuscate their responsibilities in.. well worth watching as a drama in it's own right, but especially as a potential talking point about the wts.. on cbc in canada..

  We watched this last year some time, I thought it was well done, entertaining enough. The JW part of the plot is very appropriate I thought. But , as you say Simon, JW's won't like it !

  The JW's will probably Nit Pick at the slight " inaccuracies", which are not really, I think they are maybe deliberate, and even if not, do not excuse the JW Org for what it is, and what it does to people !

  I thought when I read the Article that the writer must be a JW, as he had repeated the lies the JW org use to cover up how evil the Shunning is. The the biggest lie is the untruth that JW's exercise their individual conscience and then practice Shunning, we who have been JW's know for sure that if you do not shun someone who is Disfellowshipped , action by the Congregation Elders swiftly follows.

  More than likely too, if an individual is no longer associating, but not actually DF'd, that the Elders would haul you in front of them for associating with that person

  How many JW's would actually shun if it was not imposed upon them ?

  The writer of the Article is either a liar, or has been duped in to lying.

  " "He felt ashamed about what he did, he said, but said he did not have a sexual interest in children," Mr Jones said "

  Mr Jones is the Prosecutor, surely he would have pointed out that Williams' contention he had "no sexual interest in children" was arrant nonsense ? The Article does not say he did so.

  I also fail to understand that because someone has only just been caught, so do not have a previous offence on Record, is some kind of mitigation ??

  This man should be on the Sexual Offences Register for life, anything less means he is a constant potential danger.

  I also find it sickening that the JW community around him still support him ! What is wrong with these people, would you want to support him if he had sent YOUR Daughter of 13 Dick Pics and suggested he wanted her to perform oral sex upon him ?

  They have finally signed up, after missing several deadlines , and issued this statement :

  " “Now that the law requires charities to join the scheme, Jehovah’s Witnesses will comply. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that it is their responsibility before God to respect and co-operate with the authorities.”

  So they are saying that they do not have a responsibility before God to treat the Victims with compassion and love, that the whole of their responsibility is merely to comply with the Law. A True God of Love might have something to say about that !

  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.

  It is a well known Scientific hypothesis that if you travel long enough and far enough in Space, you age less than those who stayed behind on Earth, so maybe he really IS Captain Kirk !
