  Are You One of the People Considered "Essential" ???

  by RubaDub in

  i keep hearing all of the things about "essential" people in this convid-19 virus thing.. well, i woke up this morning, did my morning poop, and just felt like i am essential.

  i walked around my house while my wife was still sleeping, did the alexa thing to hear the daily text.

  it made me feel good.

  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 think it’s terrible that the governments are encouraging hospitals and doctors to write on the death certificate that it was Covid that killed them when in reality it was something else.

  Agreed. There is a big difference between dying WITH the virus anti-bodies, and dying FROM the virus. Strange though how even doctors that try to say that are being censured, fired, threatened with license revocation, and discredited.

  I am not afraid at all. I am pretty sure I will never contract it, because I wear two masks at a time, just in case one might let something through. I wear goggles over my wrap around safety glasses and a totally enclosed plastic head and face shield connected to scuba tanks. As an extra precaution I wear a full hazmat suit at all times, even in the shower. I heard air conditioning is a hazard for the COVID-19, so I shut it off and it gets pretty d--ned hot with no AC, and the windows closed to keep the virus out of my house, so the amount of sweat pouring of me will not doubt wash it all out of my system.
  

  Seriously though, no; I am not afraid. I practice good hygiene, do not unnecessarily expose myself to situations or people that may increase the risk of exposure. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, stress increase the risk of heart disease, fear and worry are a large cause of stress, so I am not going to worry!

  The basic reason the Assemblies were stopped and put online was because the government said no high volume social gatherings which included of course religious social activities.

  So, their scriptural hypocrisy is even more obvious. Acts 5: 29. In answer Peter and the [other] apostles said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.

  JW's and the National Anthem/Flag

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.

  we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

  How do Jehovah's Witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?

  They could do what a now elder, who lives in Texas did and taught his kids to do; flip the bird at the flag while loudly saying, "Here is my flag salute!"

  He managed to start a near brawl doing that a few years ago at a town parade when the color guard went by.

  In the video: "The last commandment that Jesus gave was 'GO therefore and make disciples. . .'"

  Yet the governing loons say, "STAY at home. Write letters (that get tossed in the trash)." The spokes-idiot (I like that term) says the decision to quit meetings and public ministry was following the SECOND greatest command, to love their neighbors.
  

  Perhaps they should follow the FIRST and greatest command to love their God, and trust him to keep them from getting the virus, and GO make disciples like Jesus commanded? They are hypocrites. In the U.S. they were a month behind everyone else on locking down, and still saying they have God's direction? HA!

  And no, I am not promoting un-healthy action; just pointing out what I see as blatant cherry-picking scripture hypocrisy on WT's part.

  i'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.

  i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".

  funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

  Constant reminders from the elders to be obedient to the elders directions to contribute whatever is possible to WT online as a way to show appreciation for Gee-HO'-Vuh providing that food.

  BOE Update! (as of 2020-07-31)

  by Atlantis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  body of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.

  two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.

  the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.

  Well in all fairness they are concerned about food.

  In the U.S. they evidently (see what I did there?) are standing in line with their hands out for free produce and meat courtesy of the United States USDA government Farms to Families program. And then of course never missing the chance to "remind" everyone that they need to show appreciation to Gee-HO'-Vuh for the two or three potatoes, two apples, and a cup of beans by going online to donate as much as they are able.

  Though the constitution is a living document it must be adhered to. Anything other than that is unamerican.

  Does that also include the lefts anti-American, mostly unconstitutional stance on the second amendment's guaranteed right to "bear arms"?
