OK, your statistic might be 100% true. So what?
Any statistic which is based on numbers does not prove that something is good, true, or beneficial.
BBC World News has the largest audience of any news channel in the world.
Do you believe that everything the BBC says is true, or do you use your own reasoning?
although the effects of covid 19 are only just beginning to bite in most countries, i reckon that countless millions of people worldwide will remember 2020 as the year in which they lost something - whether it be a loved one, their business, their job, their home - the list will be very long.. the draconian measures in the uk alone mean that various rights and freedoms have already been lost by a nation, albeit temporarily..

Danke schon!
let's add to the following list.
jws are mistaken when they believe the bible teaches:.
1. that their leaders somehow represent the faithful and wise servant.
JWs are mistaken when they believe the Bible teaches that foreigners were not participants of the law covenant.
(the 'slave' teaches this in order to create a type/antitype for the 'anointed' and the 'other sheep.' wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6) Deuteronomy 29:10-15 rejects this false teaching.
@ COFTY - the intolerance of some people when Bible topics are raised, is very disheartening to many here IMO.
"while we have seen increased usage of our service globally, there are no assurances that we will also experience an increase in paying customers or that new or existing users will continue to utilize our services at the same levels after the outbreak has tempered,” zoom said in the filing.. https://mspoweruser.com/zoom-warns-investors-they-may-become-a-victim-of-their-own-success-as-costs-spiral/.
at the moment lots of jdumbs are using the 40 minute free modes, but the paper says it has made it free since the corona crisis.. i was just thinking this could lead to either a problem for jdumbs if zoom puts a hefty price for users or,their may be a opportunity for washtowel to dig their fingers into the pie as we have seen in their dealings.
its all about the money.. perhaps washtowel will develop their own and sell it to their members since they have most of this technology set up....donations can pour in again like water.... what are your thoughts!.
JW's - get ready to "voluntarily contribute" to the org's payment for Zoom. LOL.
The Warwick shysters will never pass up an opportunity to squeeze more cash from the sheeple.
think of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.
2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.
3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....
V111 - I sent a PIMI JW the video of Stephen Lett's pantomime about the last days of the very last days.
The response was predictable JW programming - "This is definitely leading up to the G.T"
Unless the cult ramps up the paranoia in times of crisis, their business model will suffer and money & publishers will both diminish.
as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.
but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.
Very much appreciate all the work - and the results from it!
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.
Welcome to the forum, 1234.
Within a very few short months, I (hopefully) expect to see a dramatic letter being sent from HQ to all congregations regarding the org's life-threatening situation.
Desperate events call for desperate measures. I don't think the cult is going to sugar-coat it!
chinese government officials did not inform the world health organization of the outbreak of sars until february 2003. this lack of openness criminal cover-up caused delays in efforts to control the epidemic.
severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars) - patients under 24 were least likely to die (less than 1%); those 65 and older were most likely to die (over 55%) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome.
still no vaccine for sars, so how much worse is covid 19 really going to be - and to last?.
@ SBF - Just got back home and saw your post -
"and is on course to cause millions of deaths, and leave many more survivors with chronic health problems."
Reading between all the 'lines' and listening to my instincts, I agree with you 100%.
From day one, I was immediately sceptical about the press releases from China and then how the UK government responded. I told my wife and 2 closest friends that I thought the situation was way worse than we were being told. I believe that's still the case.
The world hasn't been brought to a virtual standstill for nothing.
enjoy.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwh5xubgkla.
