  So far the shepherds have not called. The meeting didn't address shopping for elderly, checking on them, or the job losses. They however did hammer on you better be wearing a tie. Brother thick accent will do the memorial.

  One friend, one relative had nasty flu with fever, but no tests. If we did know someone it would put all the panic and looming bankruptcies in perspective. Either know for sure it is a danger or know we are being hosed.

  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

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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
