  Is this an ‘opportune’ time to disappear?

  by Biahi in

  do you guys think during this corona virus lockdown, the gb will be “raptured to heaven”, thereby escaping any lawsuit from irwin zalkin?

  if so, how would they explain that the 20,000 or so other ‘anointed’ are still here?

  brazil?

  Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?

  by RubaDub in

  trying to put politics aside (even though that won't really work), but ny governor andrew cuomo is blowing the other politicians out out the water (orange man [trump] and the lizard [biden]).. i don't know if cuomo has a usb port in the back of his head plugged into a hard drive but the guy speaks, analyzes and talks coherently.

  the orange man always passes difficult questions to someone else.

  the lizard can't comprehend what the question is but tries to answer something.. cuomo comes out with facts, analysis and direction on what needs to be done.

  For maybe the first time trump is deferring to experts. A good leader knows how to get the best to do the job instead of thinking he has all the knowhow.

  Remember, we mostly vote against someone.

  Tha zoom seems to have a default recording setting, at least there is a button lit. Most of us are doing well to get the thing on first try.

  Maybe a recorded prayer makes us all Buddhist

  After the Covid-19 crisis: what will happen?

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.

  - economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.

  - politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.

  The world recovered from the 30s depression. WW2 boosted it though. At my age I will not see a full recovery but have children and grandchildren to think of. In the long term there have been a great number of civilizations rise and fall. The greedy and crooked come out on top

  Will "social distancing" help JWs wake up.

  by Tantalon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the existing and still to come covid19 lock downs in many countries i wonder if not being obliged to attend meetings and field service will give many jws the opportunity to clear their mind a little and start to see the cracks.

  i know they will be expected to log on to their devices but with no one other than family to monitor this it could be a circuit breaker for many.

  of course the fear of end times pestilence may counter that.

  The news shiws the spirts teams putting on video games, showing highlights, introducing new recruits. Trying to keep the fans worked up.

  Whether it is missing meetings, or not staring at overpaid athletes will ebable people to live their own lives. Cant let that happen

  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.....

  Zoom Can Control My Home Camera? Maybe Some Tech Help Needed.

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even though i am partially in the it area of business, i don't understand here how people are saying that someone can control a camera through zoom.

  so if i am sitting with a shirt and tie, someone on the other end can can control the camera and see that i am naked from the waist down and periodically have an itch?

  or quickly move to the side and have a beer?.

  Only the way hackers might turn a camera. i have mine taped over in general for that reason. We have found out they can hear us at will so the comment I made about the fad groucho eyebrows may have been heard.,

  I posted about the intrusion of wanting the cameras on, us dressed up, and no distracting background, and having a fi field service type meeting extra. People are unable to see where they aim, hrnce the comment about being naked. We have seen big gulps, bare feet, ceilings, foreheads, and some lousy makeup. We have been told our camera was off. The only phone calls have been to make sure we dont miss meetings. Next they want remote student skits here
