i was looking at the world health org.
report and it shows the us ranks 37th in the world (tied with albania) for combined male/female life expectancy.
the top 5 were japan, switzerland, singapore, israel and spain, all around 83 years.
Here's an alternate point of view: what these statistics prove is that there is no (or little) correlation between the amount of money a nation has, and the life span of its citizens.
Well that's not realy a valid point.
Check out the stats for wealthy vs poor and health in the USA.

1 thing - Not having affordable healthcare nationwide.
speaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.
he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.
and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?
Again - I found NO such comment in that WT.
What an idiot elder says is often not what is in the literature.
Has anyone else seen anything in that WT that supports this claim?
we have been in a battle over health care for so long here in the us regarding public, private, gov't subsidized, obama care, medicare for all, and just about every permutation of the above.. we hear the horror stories here that people wait 20 years for a check-up (ok, bit of an exaggeration), but you get the point.
one side tells us that canadians flock across the border when they are sick and need to see a doctor.
the other side says that is simply not the case.. so tell us, if you live under one of the government systems would you replace it?
Describe "basic" -- we do provide basic ++++ healthcare to those without insurance coverage at government (usually referred to as county) hospitals.
Going to the emergency room is not Basic healthcare - and also the MOST expensive way possible to treat people.
would it be all-right with you if a translator removes "jesus'" name completely from the new testament and replaces it with a substitute, like "master" throughout?.
I am ok with removing ALL words from the New Testament.
i know bad cops exist in many cities.
i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.
however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.
These political topics are pointless on this blog.
Simon, are then not better suited to a different blog?

Of course!!!!
That doesnt mean that blacks dont get horrible treatment. I have seen it with my own eyes many times.
I am white - my experience is polar opposite that blacks have.
I used to pioneer with a friend who was black, worked as a mason, and had a used BMW 325.
We (HE) would get stopped and harassed by the police with great regularity in our lilly white territory.

I have family in europe - the all make fun or shake their heads at the richest country in the world not providing basic healthcare for its citizens.

If so - then that was true LAST year - a DECADE ago - and 50 years ago.
WTF is Almighty doG waiting for?
More cash to come from the "friends"?
FYI - I JUST READ THROUGH THAT WT AND SEE NOTHING THAT WOULD MAKE HIS CLAIM VALID.
