  this is an interview with michael yeadon, former vice president and chief science officer of pfizer.

  Some people are pissed that they have to do this for around 1% of the population but its about being empathic toward community responsibility.

  Hence the intent to social restrictions

  Actually, thinking that the virus is about 1% of the population, shows a lack of empathy for the 99% of the population that will also be affected, in one way or another by the Covid virus.

  Not ONE Person out of almost 8 billion is immune from the effects of the virus. The medical part is just one of the side effects of the virus. There are other ways the virus is deadly that shouldn’t be overlooked.

  There are over a hundred different ways that the virus can become deadly to the rest of society besides the elderly and those with some type of medical condition.

  I’ll name just ONE that has nothing to do with catching the virus, yet can be deadly and cause a death.

  Last year a few months after Covid started, several Medical Organizations warned the governments that

  
  

  locking down the entire economy would create a spike in suicides among ------young children and young couples.

  British Medical Association said;

  Quote; Widely reported studies modelling the effect of the covid-19 pandemic on suicide rates predicted increases ranging from 1% to 145%,6 largely reflecting variation in underlying assumptions. Particular emphasis has been given to the effect of the pandemic on children and young people.

  The National Library of Medicine warned the governments

  Quote; The COVID-19 crisis may increase suicide rates during and after the pandemic. Mental health consequences of the COVID-19 crisis including suicidal behavior are likely to be present for a long time and peak later than the actual pandemic

  https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4352

  a new report by The Well Being Trust found that 75,000 additional people could die from what they called “deaths of despair,” (which include suicide and substance use) because of Covid-19.

  Social Distancing and Isolation

  The research has been clear on this one for years: isolation and loneliness is bad for our health—both physical and mental. According to a meta-analysis co-authored by Julianne Holt-Lunstad, PhD, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University, lack of social connection heightens health risks as much as smoking three-quarters of a pack of cigarettes a day…every day. “

  There is robust evidence that social isolation and loneliness significantly increase risk for premature mortality, and the magnitude of the risk exceeds that of many leading health indicators,” Holt ­Lunstad says.

  https://www.psycom.net/covid-19-suicide-rates

  Do you know how many people have committed suicide as the result of LOCKDOWN- World-Wide?

  It’s more that 3 million which is the amount of people that have died of Covid WORLDWIDE.

  And people are still committing suicide because of Covid-----and there is no Vaccine for that.

  You can’t solve complex world problems with “Simple Solutions”

  But at the end of the day scientists need funds...for most of them, it's just another business that needs to profit.

  Humans in general are not to be trusted.

  I took several Psychology classes in College, not for credit but because I wanted to learn something about the human mind. Serial Killers always fascinated me and I always wondered if some humans are just plain evil.

  To my surprise, come to find out, "that most people that commit evil acts are neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘terrifyingly normal’" ---(exception are those born with some brain abnormality)

  In one semester we focused on why "Adolph Eichmann, the Nazi operative responsible for organizing the transportation of millions of Jews and others to various concentration camps in support of the Nazi’s Final Solution," which was to get rid of all the witnesses by killing them.

  Was he pure evil?

  Hanna Arendt a German-born American political theorist found that Eichmann was just an ordinary, rather bland, bureaucrat, who in her words, was ‘neither perverted nor sadistic’, but ‘TERRIFYINGLY Normal’.

  What I learned was that Humans in general never per-mediate evil acts, but instead,---situations that transpire, tip them into doing the unthinkable-----in many historic cases----total genocide of certain groups of people.

  So Can one do evil without being evil? --------The answer is a resounding yes!

  The most mild, humble, unassuming person, can do the most heinous act unimaginable to another human,-----and not bat an eye.

  I believe the political climate and the virus, is making people do things that ordinarily they just wouldn’t do.

  If Government tells its public Covid came from a lab, then the obvious answer is to punish the lab (China). But that would be risky because China is very powerful with a huge standing army and nuclear weapons,

  This is True. It's like Everyone with Nukes has the Gun pointed at each other---with their finger on the trigger.

  Humanity is walking on a very--Thin Line between survival and extinction.

  Do JW women expect LESS from their man than Non-jw women?

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  non-jw women usually expect their man to have some type of social status.

  whether it's education, money, fame, etc.. these days, feminism also plays a role in a future, marriage.

  (the man is not the head, maybe the women is the head).

  hoser You hit the jackpot👍

  asp59

  Think people in congregations this day's wants the same thing as non JWs. Status and money. Plus they also want to give the appearance they spiritual strong. It's a complicated balance act.

  It's actually too much because of attending all the meetings, conventions, door to door service makes it very difficulty to pursue other things like education, a better job------OH WAIT!---there is no more Kingdom Hall meetings, no more Conventions, and no more door to door!

  LongHairGal

  That’s why I was always dumbfounded when people in the hall were seeking titles.

  But-But---What about handling the Microphones----a brother has to qualify---and sisters just don't qualify

  asp59

  Status of online elder or pioneer😂😂😂

  FFGhost

  For JWs, it's mainly from being, or being married to, an [elder / CO.........GOVERNING BODY MEMBER

  There's nothing Greater than RULING THE UNIVERSE

  There are other things. My ex was hardcore PIMI. She kept complaining and pressuring me to reach out for more "privileges.

  I didn't think of that.

  Kind of confusing considering that Jesus said;

  Matthew 8:20 “Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
  

  "Jesus made the point that there is a cost to following Him. The scribe who said he wanted to follow Jesus wherever He went was not considering the lifestyle Jesus led.

  Jesus was functionally homeless; He and His disciples stayed in the homes of those who would take them"

  On the other hand the religious leaders did seek privileges of sorts.

  In the video below, these women are asked if they would marry or even date a man that makes 50k a year. The responses are interesting.

  Quick Summary: According to Social Security data from 2019, the latest release, the median household income was $34,248.45, an increase over 2017 ($32,838.05).

  Here’s the median income men earn in every age group, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the second quarter of 2019.

  • 16 to 19 years: $507 weekly/$26,364 annually
  • 20 to 24 years: $615 weekly/$31,980 annually
  • 25 to 34 years: $893 weekly/$46,436 annually
  • 35 to 44 years: $1,133 weekly/$58,916 annually
  • 45 to 54 years: $1,153 weekly/$59,956 annually
  • 55 to 64 years: $1,158 weekly/$60,216 annually
  • 65 years and older: $1,039 weekly/$54,028 annually

  But the comments are even more interesting because it shows what Non-jw men think of women like this.

  With that in mind, do you feel the good thing about JW women is that they are not so much into material stuff and don't care to much about their future husbands having a Education, Money, and fame?

  Do JW women make Better Wives?

  Double Speak from last night's CLAM

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now that there are no meetings to physically attend, i am in a position where i listen in to my wife's zoom calls.

  i thought some of the ideas in last week's clam were a bit strange, for instance they harped on about being 'friendly' to non-jws but not to become 'friends' with them.

  the poignant question being put to the audience; 'what is the difference between being friendly to an unbeliever and being his friend?'.

  The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping

  so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.

  a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

  13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

  Maybe the writers of Numbers and Deuteronomy just make $#!+ up that sounded good, but really didn't think things through?

  Evidently there were no "continuity checkers" in the late Iron Age.

  Or maybe these were just stories that parents told their 2 year old children. Like Jack and the beanstalk.

  But it has to noted that these young people that are getting the virus and some even dying and they didn't have any background health issues.

  So what do you do as health official ?

  The problem we face is that EVERYONE IS LYING.

  Some deliberate for certain reasons, others because they get a thrill for spreading fear, and others because they simply don’t know what’s really going on.

  I’ve heard on news outlets that NO YOUNG PERSON THAT IS HEALTHY IS DYING FROM THE COVID VIRUS.

  And I’ve also heard from other news outlets, like you said that SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WITH NO HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE DYING FROM THE COVID VIRUS.

  Ive also heard that some hospitals are reporting that the majority of deaths during 2020 were attributed to the Covid virus..

  And I’ve heard that false reporting are just conspiracy theories spreading around.

  As I said HUMANS JUST LIE.

  It doesn’t matter if they are Health officials, Scientists, Political leaders, Government, Husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents.

  HUMANS LIE, -----AND WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT.

  I know when the pandemic started in 2020, basically all my friends and acquaintances went to Florida on Spring break and got Covid. I’m talking all my close friends and my College Acquaintances. They were sick a couple of days and that was it. No one died. By the time they got home they all had immunity. I’m talking a little over a hundred friends and acquaintances. None of them spread it to their family because they used common sense and live in their own place.

  But the News media went berserk and showed interviews and portrayed all these youngsters as idiots.

  In the meantime Florida was one of the States that locked down the least and the results compared to those that locked down like New York and California tells us much about the virus and who it affects.

  All my workers and myself are plumbers and deal with human waste and other shit, and all of us got the Covid Virus. None of us got real sick. A slight fever for a day or two. None of us got the vaccine. We all took blood test to make sure we got Covid and not something else. It was confirmed we all got Covid and got immunity naturally. All of us are age 30 and under. All of us are healthy with no medial problems.

  None of my young friends and acquaintances have died of Covid. But Many of my very old friends and acquaintances have died.

  What does this tell me?

  The point is, if you want to trust the government and Scientist, Consider History and what it teaches us.

  Do All Scientist have your welfare in mind?

  Does All Government have you interest in mind?

  Humanity walks a very thin line of depravity. And it’s easy to tip them in the wrong direction.

  And if you want the truth, Doctors and Scientist are usually at the forefront of exterminating “OTHER” humans when tipped in the wrong direction!

  This has happened OVER AND OVER THROUGH OUT HUMAN HISTORY.

  It would be good to review this history as a reminder of what Humans are capable of.

  Because it quickly becomes very obvious---------that humans just don't learn from history.

  So expect it to happen again------Over and Over!.
  

  And do what you think is right for you and your family!

  Once we start to force people to do what WE THINK is right------it will eventually Lead to war.

  True but did you know now that the majority of people who are getting the virus of the new variants are in the 20 to 40 age group and there are dying closely in numbers to the higher age group ?

  I've heard several in their 20s dying of Covid, but because they were not aware that they had an underling health problem. Several in my area that died young were not aware they had hypertension, heart problems, kidney problems, etc.

  The problem with being young is that most young people don't get a yearly checkup because -------they are young and think they are invincible. In the USA especially, there are a lot of young ones that are obese because of the abundance of fast food. But because they are young, they believe obesity is not a problem for young ones.
  

  I personally haven't heard of young ones that are dying of the new variants

  I overheard of conversation not long ago in a coffee shop where a guy in his 30's stated how pissed off he was about these restrictions and he thought they should just let the elderly die off because well they are going to die soon anyways

  Be glad he is not the President of the USA or whatever Country you live in.
