There is a big difference between, "Is there..." and "There is..." I do not like Trump, but he did say, "IS there..." not, "There IS..." The finer points of sarcasm directed at Birx, who sat with a constipated look on her face, has been lost on most people. As Simon brought out above, this is just a repeat of the 'fine people' hoax using a different set of words.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis 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.

I don't have the letter, but I heard the same thing. Also continue to avoid any personal contacts with each other or visiting each other at private homes.

So how long until a "vaccination"? I have read anywhere from 18 months to two years out. I also read just this afternoon that W.H.O. now claims that having had and recovered from the COVID-19 virus does not mean immunity. So WTH good will a vaccine do anyway? I thought that a vaccine was being touted by the "experts" as the be-all end-all cure to build immunity to the virus. They surely wouldn't be wrong, would they?

Self-isolating JW's will at least get a taste of what disfellowshipping is like..
by mikronboy inhumans are basically social animals.
see most any isolated mammal, whether in a zoo or even an outcast of its pride and you'll see one mentally disturbed creature.
maybe, after this pandemic has faded and humans are able to interact once more, some jw's might think twice before being so quick to shun.

Just heard a letter from "The Branch" (with loud reverb and echo). Said that now that many governments are beginning to lessen restrictions on travel and going in public, "it is up to each family head (yeah right!) to decide, but "The Branch" suggests that we continue to socially distance and stay in our own homes."
WTF, they went overboard with taking secular suggestions as orders, and now they are ignoring those same secular persons suggestions to begin to open things back up! And of course they still instruct JW's how to wash their frigging hands. I knew JW's were mostly ignorant but that is just ridiculous.

Sadly I do not see that ever happening. Unless there is some financial benefit, or some other use for one another among the JW's shunning will always be the weapon of choice.

Just made a comment on another thread before I saw this. Yes, for all practical reasons JW's have disfellowshipped each other, at the instructions of the branch. They take very seriously the instruction not to go to anyone's homes.

I think the biggest part missing is the socializing before and after meetings.
Fellowshipping and socializing have been used interchangeably by JW's in the past where I am. So with the willful lack of genuine SOCIALIZING I would say that JW's have now 90% "disfellowshipped" everyone. Other than the free for all trying to be herd (spelled this way for a reason) above everyone else for a few chaotic minutes prior to and after the zoom and doom "meetings". No real socializing or fellowship, and that suits their mentality perfectly. And no, I am not advocating for large gatherings to socialize, just that not even a one-on-one 6 feet apart visit happens, because the branch said not to visit homes of fellow JW's.

The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".
by smiddy3 ini`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

Perhaps somewhat of topic, I asked someone once if God is love? Yes. Okay, then why do humans die? They sinned, so are not perfect and die because of imperfection. So did the God of love create anything imperfect? No, he could not create imperfection. So if we die because we sinned and lost perfection, and God of love cannot create imperfection why do animals die? Because they were not created to live forever. So then why did the God of love instill in humans the need for pets, and the ability to love them, only to have to face the pain and sadness of losing them when they die? I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see!
