  How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?

  by Finkelstein in

  for myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.

  they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.

  they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

  Honestly I have my own life and my own family to worry about, and that just puts me on a very busy schedule to visit or associate with most of my jw family. I like it that way actually. In fact isn't that the way its supposed to be.

  Your parents raise you, you leave the house and start your own family, Once a year maybe you get together with parents and siblings, and then back to the grind.

  One leaves the parents house when the parents are around 40 years old, in the meantime the one leaving the home is busy going to school, working, buying a house, getting married, having children, and in around 40 years you get ready to retire and relax and visit the family regularly, but by then your parents are gone and maybe some of your siblings too,

  And the cycle starts again with your children.They're busy working, raising a family, etc.
  

  So it works out pretty good and I really don't have time for jw drama.

  The changes in the religion does interest me considering I was born in. So I visit sites like this or exjw reddit to find out the latest new light. Although I don't thing the WT religion will be around in 40-50 years from now.

  And I'll still be around to see it all-----unless I get a cancer or someone shoots me in a riot

  Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

  they have predicted this for years.

  religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

  the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

  Do you think Social Media has been Bad or Good for a peaceful Society.

  it does not matter if your political ideology leans to the far left, to the far right, or somewhere in the middle, we are all humans, and as humans, we are not immune to bias.. freeness of speech in the united states gives about 350 million citizens, plus an un-measurable amount of global citizens to say whatever they want and spread any ideology they want on social media, to sway their audiences to their line of thought.. social media is a very powerful platform.

  for example facebook has about 2.23 billion monthly active users .

  youtube has about 1.9 billion maus.

  Here is an example posted today of Facebook deleting a video based on bias. And since it's a private business, they have the authority to delete anything they want.

  YouTube has about 1.9 Billion MAUs

  WhatsApp about 1.5 Billion MAUs

  There are 145 million daily active users on Twitter.

  And so on.

  The owners of these websites can choose what gets deleted and what doesn’t, so their bias enters the picture.

  There are some restrictions on Free Speech, here are some examples

  https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/what-does

  If anything is powerful enough to change the world, it will be Social Media

  It’s not about Truth and Justice anymore.

  It’s about those who can sway the most masses of people globally.

  Is this a good thing-----or is this a bad thing.

  the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.

  have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.

  there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.

  I don't have a closed mind when it comes to alternative treatments, but the tie-in to American politics sounds sketchy.

  Hydroxychloroquine was recommended by thousands of doctors when the virus first started in March. They are the Front line fighters who actually were dealing with the sick people who contracted the virus. And they were successful.
  

  Then a few day later in June, the FDA came under pressure by many Democratic governors, mayors, congressman, and Senators, under the pretense that the drug was dangerous for their individual State and preferred a lock-down instead until a vaccine was developed.

  Not long after that, the FDA ruled against any doctor using the drug in the USA. To do so, a doctor would forfit his medical license and never be able to practice again,

  So yes, in the USA politics is the driving force of all major organizations. Politics determines who lives and who dies

  That’s better than one patient with a broken arm or the flu, or your average patient admitted into the hospital every day.
  

  But the Cure was always there and politicians knew this and those who got Covid took the cure but refused to tell the public.

  Listen to the Doctor who is on the FRONT LINE, with a medical degree,

  Not people with a liberal Arts degree spouting their mouth out on CNN, MSNBC or the NEW YORK TIMES.

  some people are such haters!

  we may have real differences on politics, religion or life but we should never rejoice that someone has gotten an illness simply because we don’t see eye to eye with them.. there are people here that i have differences with but i would never wish them i’ll health or worse, death.👎.

  Hollywood gloats that Trump could die along with his wife.

  But there were MILLIONS of tweets wishing Trump good health and quick recovery. And Trump appreciated all the good vibes people were sending him.
