  If The Jehovah's Witnesses Stole Your Past...Don't Let Them Steal Your Future!

  yes, many here have lost many years of life due to being infected by this cult like religion.

  for many it is very hard to let go of that life and those wasted years.. of course people need time to heal and this web site is a great place to do that, swap war stories and commiserate.. i was in for over 50 years.

  so of course it will be with me for the rest of my life.

  It’s hard to move on from any kind of abusive relationship. I was a jw victim just like most who have joined this forum. The only way I was able to come to terms with it was to focus on the positives and the lessons I learned from being a jw. The fact that I was finally able to wake up from the nightmare is a great accomplishment that needs to be celebrated.

  I think leaving any abusive relationship is a grieving process. We had so much invested but lost so much. A person has to come to terms or it will eat them up inside and out.

  I think this “provision” was in place before the plandemic. It still has bricks and mortar in the business plan. To go full online they don’t need any kingdom halls

  Are You Afraid of Contracting The Covid Virus?

  thankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!

  i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.

  they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

  I’m with Stan livedeath on this one. I think my family had it last year. I know lots of people in my circle who had the symptoms in November 2019. What the mainstream media tells us doesn’t make sense.

  I think the reaction of government is a control thing. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  Buy some cheap vodka and dip your hands in it. If it kills liver cells it should kill some germs.

  @kramer

  They are not allowed to mark do not calls on new territories. The elder in our car group said we might get a do not call as we have no idea where they may be.

  besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.

  there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.

  so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

  I haven’t been out in a few months so now we don’t keep any written records and we don’t know which houses are do not calls. I also noticed I was the only one with a book bag. Everyone else has switched to a tablet.

  So we drove to the furthest territory from the service group. 3/4 hour drive west of town, did 3 or 4 calls, and 3/4 hour back. We did one sisters not at home return visit so that she could count more time. We get to count 3 hour total.

  I think the whole privacy thing (can’t keep written records, and don’t know where the do not calls are) is a lot for the brothers to mentally accept.
