@ Annon: Great question. If it was designed, WHO designed it, and why?

See a lot of messages on social about UN taking over.
Yeah, I noticed that too. My uber-dub sister sent me an email about the U.N coming for religion and it had the words "peace and security" in it. She was absolutely giddy about, "this is it. You better get back to the organization."

Meetings via video conference
by FedUpJW inso i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.
and guess what?
one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.

So I just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple. And guess what? One can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.
I did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their TOS this: You will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled. If you do not consent to being recorded, you can choose to leave the meeting or webinar.
Now while that may be standard language, and nothing to worry about I wonder exactly how the WTB&T$ will use it. If one can be seen by other members, and you do not agree to being video or audio recorded you can CHOOSE TO LEAVE. Of course I may be wrong, but it seems all will know that you left, and of course you will be singled out for not being, "of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us. But they went out so that it might be shown that not all are of our sort." Not to mention that one will be expected to be dressed in suit and tie or dress.
Then there is this: Prohibited Use. You agree that You will not use, and will not permit any End User to use, the Services to: ...engage in activity that is illegal, fraudulent, false, or misleading. Well there goes JW's obeying God as ruler rather than man, and we all pretty well understand that much of what is promoted at JW meetings is false. So they will have to lie to use this service.
Thoughts??

The Evil Masterminds Behind COVID-19: Charmin and Cottonelle
by keyser soze inof all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.
all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.
people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

I would say it all depends on the surgeon.
A woman went to a "cheap" surgeon who got mixed up with the implants and gave her siliputty instead of silicone. Now instead of 38 D's she has 38 longs.
Thanks folks, I'll be here all week, and don't forget to tip your server.

“I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)
by slimboyfat ineven if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.
not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.
survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

Nobody is saying don't take precautions, but there is no reason to be afraid.
THIS /\ /\ /\ /\ /\
There is a hell of a lot of difference between reasoned concern and preparedness and the full blown panicked insanity that so many are falling prey to. And for that one can thank the media hype.

And no more "hugs, kisses, or hand-shaking. We (the eldurs) recommend elbow bumps", was the announcement made in my locality.
Now I wonder IF it were me attending in person just how hard could I make that elbow bump? Maybe to the ribs of an eldur or two?

From what I have heard, those attending the one day assemblies will be required to have a Clorox enema prior to entering.
"But remember brothers and sisters, use ONLY ONE SQUARE of tissue to wipe your butt with. And only ONE to dry your hands! Oh, and DON'T FORGET, drop your contribution in the box at the door on your way by!"

Well in my area there is no worry about cancelling those. Cannot cancel something that doesn't exist.

Crocodile tears

highlight of any bad experience; the victim finds final solace in pioneering,
I remember some years ago a sister, the wife of an arrogant jerk substitute C.O., gave her 'perience on the Circus Assembly. She was gushing along about how piousneering was sooo wonderful. About how it made all problems seem so insignificant. That was on Sunday. On Wednesday she went to Walmart and bought a shotgun and checked into a flea-bag motel. On Thursday she put the barrel in her mouth and pulled the trigger.
Yep, running the piousneer hamster wheel sure made her happified.
