  When this is over...

  what will the world be like once this pandemic is over?

  the world has been through this before, in the form of the bubonic plague and it left changes to life still felt today, especially in regards to the economic system.

  so many people dying meant a smaller working class that meant their skills and labour was suddenly more valuable which in turn raised wages.

  The pandemic the lesser evil. In two years 5,903,219 people have died World wide.

  That's 2,951,609 per year IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

  The ones that died were elderly, those medically compromised, and the obese.
  

  More people have died of suicide, riots, crime, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.

  Many Countries have switched over to tyranny like Australia. Now Canada is fighting to resist a dictator from taking over. The USA is also fighting to keep Tyranny from taking over.

  The Watchtower for the first time stopped all door to door preaching and closed all Kingdom halls world wide. It is the beginning of the end for the organization.

  Woke-ism and gender identity has taken over and the cancel culture has taken hold of most people.

  The new USA President wants a Nuclear war with Russia and is de stabilizing America.

  Even people who have never been Jehovah's Witnesses or have had any ties to the Watchtower's end of days ideas, are getting this deep feeling in their gut, that this might be the early beginning of another extinction event leaving only a few humans to start over again. Unfortunatly a small group of men who have taken power will be the ones responsible for this catastrophic event

  Chasing down every last channel & social media account that's spreading lies is a monumental task but I'm damned well going to do it if it takes yrs.

  How old is Loyd? Like 40 something.

  So he is going to spend the last 30 years of his life maybe a little more or maybe less---chasing down every exjw. There's over 71,000 exjw on reddit and only about 700 like him. The rest have had it with him.

  So 71,000 divided by 35 years = 2,028

  Loyd has to catch 5 exjw EVERY DAY, take them to court EVERY DAY, WIN THE COURT CASE EVERY DAY, FOR THE NEXT 35 YEARS.

  Oh, I forgot the other exjws on YouTube, Instagram, and even the Governing Body that is probably laughing their ass off at Loyd.😂😂

  Marc O'Donell's statement: Lloyd and the conflict of Interest

  by Diogenesister in

  as expected from a man who prioritizes the most vulnerable members of our community, marc has made a sober statement that explains why there's a deep conflict of interest between lloyds recent behaviour and the work they do at jw watch.

  you can read it here:.

  But Germany is like one of us! A civilized, modern, democratic county that is supposed to be ahead of the curve on questions like these.

  Klaus Schwab is German and is the Founder of the World Economic Forum. This man said in his book that humanity is nothing more than "useless eaters."

  He has said that there needs to be a culling of humanity and remove those of lesser value. He still holds the idea of a superior race. And he feel that most of humanity are just animals to be culled and enslaved. And this man is the one in charge of the World Economic Forum. He wants one Big Government to dictate the the entire world what is moral and what is not. Who gets to live and who doesn't.

  Had I still been a JW, I would have welcomed such news as further proof of this system’s wickedness and in desperate need of God’s intervention. No longer a believer, I am left with this feeling of distress of how bad humans are with no end in sight.

  The witnesses had one thing right, the world we live in is wicked to the max. The thing they had wrong was that someone was going to rescue us. Like Carl Sagen said;

  "No one is coming to rescue us"
  

  This is what evolution is all about.

  The path to modern humans is a massive experiment in failures and trial and error.

  At least six times almost all of live on earth was wiped out in mass extinctions. 99.9% of all the species that ever lived have gone extinct. The ancestors of humans (in fact all mammals) only thrived because a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs leaving a niche for them to thrive.

  Consider that virtually every creature that has ever lived - including 200,000 years of modern humans who suffered and grieved just like us - died of starvation, disease, exposure, parasites, infection or predation.

  The history of life seems perfectly designed to maximise suffering and waste.

  Does this sound anything like a plan of an intelligent - let alone loving – creator?

  No other words describe how life is perfectly designed to MAXIMIZE suffering.

  JWs don’t use the apocryphal, yet source them

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a quick little note about a few things that i recently learned.

  if you ever had the yellow book of bible stories, there was the story of enoch, also repeated in other watchtower publications, about the angels fathering giants and being a menace on earth.

  now if you look at the nicean bible, which is the wtbts selection of the bible, it mentions enoch twice and only has a very brief passage about nephilim and ben elohim.

  Question is why they rejected them, especially since the Dead Sea Scrolls indicates those books were very much in circulation amongst Christians ca 100BC and have to date existed amongst Ethiopian Churches (one of the earliest churches still in existence)

  The men running the WT, (Governing Body, and perhaps others) are not so much interested in finding out what the truth is, but instead more inclined in CREATING THEIR OWN TRUTH.

  A good example of this is their latest teaching regarding "THEIR IDEA" of how the resurrection is going to proceed.

  A gay person that dies gay will be resurrected gay and little by little the gay will be removed depending on his progress in obedience.

  There is no biblical information or other ancient historical references alluding that the resurrection will proceed in such a way.

  Everyone has a certain way of extrapolating information from the past, and this is how these men work in dispensing their theological views upon their members.

  The members love their ideas and continue to support the information they come up with.

  i'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and guess that the watchtower is having a wonderful time over the whole ukraine situation.

  is the whole " end of times " thing being pushed again to bring dissidents back into line .

  they must be seeing as a gift from above .

  I don’t know if I can only credit my non-JW upbringing but I’m glad I had the strength of character to ignore all this.

  You did good LongHairGal 👍

  The reason he gets a pathetically low amount from SS was because he worked part-time! In order to get a decent benefit from SS a person needs to work full-time for decades.

  LongHairGal

  What I have found out is that if a person works full time for 35 years and a good salary, he can collect maximum amount of $4,194 a month or $50,328 a year, if you wait till 70 to collect. On top of this once you hit 65 years of age, you get free Medicare to pay for health if you get the right plan. And if you are smart and have you home paid off by the time you retire, you can life a very comfortable life till it's over.

  Even if you don't get the highest salary, you can still do good just with social security alone, if you work full time. I personally think that is a pretty good deal considering that many Countries don't have anything like Social Security.

  And I know single persons that are living life like kings just on social security alone. I'm not a bible believer but even that book gave sound advice that JWs should of taken to heart instead of listening to 8 old fools in New York
  

  (Proverbs 6:6-8) . . .Go to the ant, you lazy one; see its ways and become wise. 7 Although it has no commander, officer or ruler, 8 it prepares its food even in the summer; it has gathered its food supplies even in the harvest.
  

  Pioneering was such a waste of time and I feel sorry for all those jws that just weren't smart enough to figure it out.

  I don't think that such will happen as long as the USA and Russian don't directly go to war against each other. But, will they directly go to war against each other?

  Here is your answer; Start at the 3 minute mark

  Well, now these Witnesses have reached retirement age and Armageddon hasn’t come yet. They are panicked.

  LongHairGal

  A few weeks back I ran into this JW who was picking up trash in a parking lot. I know he was a JW because he started witnessing to me about the end being close according to the bible.

  I asked his age because he was elderly and struggling to walk. He told me he would be the BIG 90 this year and his wife was 75 years old. I guess he married a sister 15 years younger. That wouldn't matter if he had money but I guess he was poor but SPIRITUALLY STRONG.💪

  I wished him a happy birthday and he told me right away he didn't celebrate birthdays.

  I asked him what in the hell was he doing working at this age? He said he only got 400 plus a month from social security and that was it. I guess he worked part time because I know some Non-jw that didn't start a retirement but they still get over $2000 a month in social security because they worked full time, plus medicare.

  I wonder how many of that generation are having to deal with this problem??
