  why did jehovah create the strains of corona virus ?.

  is it part of the great tribulation that is closer than ever now ?.

  what if lots of his people die from it ?.

  Don't ask me why coronavirus exists. You may as well ask me why there are earthquakes and wars. But... have you thought of this - social distancing make paedophilia very difficult. That's a big plus for some.

  Imagine being a little girl at school and being subjected in the playground to things the boys have learnt in class from their teachers. Imagine how you'd feel afterwards. Suicidal maybe? And no one listens and you don't even have the words to explain. Then it comes to light what has happened and you get blamed as the perpetrator and you don't even know what you are doing and in your bewiderment you cry out to God. Next day - all the schools close. You might be one very happy little girl again.

  Legal Concerns About "Zoom" Meetings!

  by Atlantis in

  this whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.

  if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.

  even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.

  I'm hearing of reports that they are being asked, while on Zoom, "are you here voluntarily?" That may be a local thing, just making converstation. But if it is happening generally, it could be significant.

  I was thrown out and people with good intentions suggested I sue the Watchtower. But I knew that when you attend a church it is voluntary, or supposed to be. It is more like a club not an employer. You made the decision to go freely, you leave freely. It's like buyer beware, you have to do your own due diligence.

  hi, just curious to know if anyone knows of witnesses not applauding the nhs on thursday night.

  all i know is for some reason my mum and aunt only went out to listen but didn’t take part in the applause.

  not sure if they were just being strange or if there has been instruction not to take part.

  Interesting observation Snugglebunny - I explained to a non Watchtower person what had happened to me (when I was thrown out for sticking to the words of the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel) and he said, the Watchtower sounds like its acts like the Labour Party.

  Phizzy they'll never get paid what they deserve. They are the same as Watchtower publishers - some are truely excellent and their goodwill keeps things running but their goodwill is abused. They are rarely given the support they need to do things properly. In my personal experience, I was hamstrung from doing my job. So much so I had a choice, lose my health carrying an impossible burden or walk. I walked from the NHS to preserve my health.

  Just like I walked from the Watchtower because the organisation tells massive lies.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  Including arithmetic? :)
  

  The GB sure do something odd with arithmetic but does that make arithmetic pagan?

  Good News About the Covid-10 and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society! n

  we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.

  our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.

  stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

  Yes - Zoom is their way forward. Or something similiar if their experiment in Zoom doesn't tick all their boxes.
  

  Vocabulary is considered to be a path to understanding the inner man - sooo should make vocabulary analysis nice and easy for them to pick out who ain't mentally in. Can you hear the screws being tightened? Vocabulary analysis plus key performance indicators to assess behavior.
  

  Also, the fear of the virus might drive those on the fence back in who would initially feel safe in this environment, only to find the trap closes after the panic lifts.

  If you are out, be glad you are out.

  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.

  Some are saying St Corona is the patron saint of pandemics. Others dispute this but she is associated with money and ironically the stock market has crashed. Whoever comes up with cure might make enough money to pay off the cost of getting through this.
  

  Corona is especially venerated in Austria and eastern Bavaria. She is invoked in connection with superstitions involving money, such as gambling or treasure hunting.

  I have been slung out, so I'm not in the at-risk category of being picked on by the elders/bullies. I have already suffered that, survived and developed total immunity. But if I was in the at-risk category and asked to download Zoom, I would self isolate/leave immediately. Like Lot, I'd just get out of there and never look back. If others came out with me great, if not at least I'd be out and safe.

  The emblems, whether you have them or not will be invisibly present. In fact they've been invisibly present since 1914, which is another way of saying 1874.
