  Do you think the Door to Door KNOCKING - field service will EVER resume AGAIN?

  by pistolpete in

  if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.

  (1992 franz death +80 more years).

  if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

  If I was a JW, and COVID put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the Overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for Armageddon to 2072. (1992 Franz death +80 more years)

  If I was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

  Meaning I would die first before Armageddon.

  I would NEVER GO BACK DOOR to DOOR SERVICE.

  I would stop the religion all together and just try to live my life as best as I could.
  

  Now in my case, some of my jw relatives are starting to do the math. They are in the first step right now. Meaning they are REAL DEPRESSED.

  It has become obvious to some of them that they are going to die before Armageddon.

  Interestingly, they never stopped to do the Math when Splane explained the Overlapping Generation and the IMPLICATIONS!

  They are barely doing the math NOW.

  And they say the same thing most exjws say; WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE????

  A truly absurd situation is brewing ...

  yes, it's related to the world cup in qatar next year.. a recent un report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:.

  - a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity.

  - non-payment of wages.

  Y'see, these people are very vocal about speaking out on issues in the UK - racism, discrimination, no free school meals for poor kids, etc. On any and all of these issues their lips don't stop flapping.

  But they have been totally silent on the issue of migrant mistreatment in Qatar. It seems we're gonna have a situation next year where not one word will be spoken on this issue, from trendy celebs who usually rush to weigh in on social issues in the UK or US.

  This is actually the NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF HUMANS.

  The elite, the celebrities, and practically all the NEWS MEDIA, speak out on things that make them look like GOOD PEOPLE.

  BUT IGNORE THE REAL ISSUES.

  I showed on of my JW (True Believers) that Kingdom Halls will be opening soon. He had a fit!

  so i showed one of my older uncles the link on jw.org.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/the-governing-body-announces-that-some-in-person-meetings-will-resume-in-select-areas/.

  keep in mind that this is one of the relatives that is a true believer and used every excuse you can think of for the cancellation of all kingdom hall meetings.

  and he also used every scriptural argument you can make up to justify the end of the door to door ministry.

  The Body of elders should VERIFY, that ONLY FULLY VACCINATED PUBLISHERS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AT THE KINGDOM HALL.

  Interested Persons, Bible Studies should not be invited to attend Kingdom Hall.

  Vaccinated Children should not be invited to attend in person meetings at Kingdom hall

  So this is really another way of saying;

  ZOOM FOR TWO MORE YEARS!

  He is the one who has belittled my other relatives who have said they are not going back when the KHs open up again.

  Now I show him the link above and he had a fit.
  

  He started saying all kinds of stuff. "IT'S TO EARLY,---- DO THEY WANT US TO DIE, ---I'M TO OLD TO GO BACK"

  Have any of you told your relatives?

  I think many will put on the smile

  But I think most of them are not going to be to happy about it.

  Would you be happy returning to the routine of getting ready for the meeting, getting in the car at night, when it's cold, driving to the KH, entering the KH and sitting down for the next two hours,

  listening to the same thing before Covid----"The end is near"

  Driving back home and getting ready for bed.

  And doing this twice a week for the rest of your life.

  Hey Terry, why don't you contact the person who told you this and see what he found out?
  

  He was a very prominent brother and everyone in the circuit > knew of him. I heard a few of his talks and introduce myself to him and then for > no apparent reason he just stopped. All kinds of talk roamed throughout the city > of El Paso that he was losing it, spiritually weak, apostate, mental sickness, >, etc. Here was a brother who went to Gilead then not long after dropped out. No > one understood

  To me it looks like he became a POMO

  It seems to me that little by little it's getting easier and easier for them to envision their lives without the JW's.

  This is what's happening right before our eyes and we have to understand the implications of what this means.

  The Watchtower religion is like an animal that has been shot but is still alive whimpering, and gasping its last breaths. It's getting up but falling down again as it tries to shake off the fatal bullet blow,----- but it can't.

  9 New ‘Vaccine Billionaires’ Amass Combined Net Worth of $19.3 Billion During Pandemic

  The author of the report, People’s Vaccine Alliance, said the pharmaceutical industry’s monopoly on COVID vaccines has generated a massive increase in wealth for a handful of people.

  In addition to the nine new “vaccine billionaires,” the coalition of health and humanitarian organizations, world leaders and economists said “eight existing billionaires — who have extensive portfolios in the COVID-19 vaccine pharma corporations — have seen their combined wealth increase by $32.2 billion.”

  Anna Marriott, health policy manager at Oxfam, a member of the People’s Vaccine Alliance, said:

  “These billionaires are the human face of the huge profits many pharmaceutical corporations are making from the monopoly they hold on these vaccines. These vaccines were funded by public money and should be first and foremost a global public good, not a private profit opportunity.”

  The coalition’s list of new vaccine billionaires includes four tycoons who profited off U.S. vaccine maker Moderna, the CEO of BioNTech and three co-founders of the Chinese vaccine company, CanSino Biologics.

  The nine billionaires, in order of their net worth are:

  1. Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, now worth $4.3 billion.
  2. Ugur Sahin, CEO and co-founder of BioNTech, now worth $4 billion.
  3. Timothy Springer, immunologist and founding investor of Moderna, now worth $2.2 billion.
  4. Noubar Afeyan, Moderna’s chairman, now worth $1.9 billion.
  5. Juan Lopez-Belmonte, chairman of spanish drugmaker Rovi, which struck a deal to make ingredients for Moderna’s vaccine, now worth $1.8 billion.
  6. Robert Langer, scientist and founding investor in Moderna, worth $1.6 billion.
  7. Zhu Tao, co-founder and chief scientific officer at CanSino Biologics, worth $1.3 billion.
  8. Qiu Dongxu, co-founder and senior vice president at CanSino Biologics, now worth $1.2 billion.
  9. Mao Huihua, co-founder and senior vice president at CanSino Biologics, now worth $1 billion.

  The eight existing billionaires whose wealth soared during the pandemic include investors with stock in pharma companies that hold a monopoly on COVID vaccines.

  The list includes Indian billionaire Pankaj Patel, chairman of Cadila Healthcare, a pharma company that makes drugs such as Remdesivir to treat COVID and has a vaccine undergoing clinical trials.

  Also on the list is Patrick Soon-Shiong, a medical doctor whose COVID vaccine, ImmunityBio, was selected by the U.S. government’s “Operation Warp Speed,” a program to accelerate the rollout of COVID vaccines.

  The new vaccine billionaires join the ranks of other ultra-rich elite, who also profited off the pandemic. They include Tesla’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin — all of whom made Forbes’ top 10 Big Billionaire Gains list, adding a “collective $488 billion to their fortunes since the beginning of 2020.”
