i've been out of the loop for a while so some things have passed me by.
so i'm curious how jw's are affected by the covid virus.
are they still preaching or having meetings etc?.
Letters, incidental. Extra zoom meetings for text and " meeting for service" on zoom.
Lots of coercion to attend the extra non official meetings. All on zoom
The usual lack of any real friendship or casual phone calls.
I have no friends left--two wife's friends one non believing husband of same. One could almost be called a girlfriend, even wife admits that. Family
We are just waiting under the bed for the end.
my parents local congo has been participating is a food box program.
apparently the food is coming from a janesville hub and given to jws only.
does anyone know the source of the food?
The paradise videos dont have moldy fruit. Despite e their bragging the churches, mormons, and secular outfits are way ahead on efficiency and serving needs
i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.
he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.
people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.

I was reading accounts of this on a gun forum and got the something went wrong message. Believe me, gun forums are pro trump, so Google must have gotten an algorithm to intercept it
petra/atlantis recently posted and supplied a document on donations.
what stood out to me, besides the usual nonsense, was the phrase, “donations in support of kingdom interests worldwide.”.
this appears to be a change in terminology from donations in support of the “worldwide work of jehovah’s witnesses.”.
I wonder if they use the interest accrued between the time of donation and transfer to the locals or if there is a handling cut.
The locals can yse the money as seen fit and the CO will make sure they see it right.
My landlord always asks me for donations if I need a new roof, carpet, paint, furnishings, HVAC; and keeps track of my savings. 🙄🙄

We do know they spend it on themselves.
only the pagans burned their bodies and criminals not worthy of burial were burned.
the point is they use the same type of reasoning as to why we can't do other things such as birthdays.
toasting etc.
Is there a religious connection? The resurrection cant happen without a body according to some beliefs. Buried face up. Facing east.
I want to expensive funerals for m survivors. Msybe donate body? Or bury me face down. Most of you know why

given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.
It is interesting that suicide is linked to certain parties without saying, the same as mysterious poisoning is linked to a world leader.
Trump detractors should still realize the added chaos his death or incapacitation would cause.
I assume it would be really hard to sneak any substance into the WH. Maybe some covid goes underreported
some people are such haters!
we may have real differences on politics, religion or life but we should never rejoice that someone has gotten an illness simply because we don’t see eye to eye with them.. there are people here that i have differences with but i would never wish them i’ll health or worse, death.👎.
Some of are not averse to the old dem ideas of compassion, welfare, no caste system. But not the anarchy, hate, rewriting science ( chromosomes ).
It is not good manners to want people to suffer. That ended in the dark ages, or started in 1914, take your pick
this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

There is a difference in promising to do things for people and to them. There us an agenda to make a ruling elite and a bunch of serfs.

I read an experience of rtaveling from L A to Las Vegas in an electric. One LONG stop half way to recharge. A gasser would do the whole distance.
Lots of states are following California s lead but have winter. Add in the fact that I can do my weekly shopping taking an hour or more and note the man sitting in his electric still there plugged in, with a total of 4 stations at that store.
The day may come when we travel less and hopefully wont need to. Right now electrics are at the stage gasoline was when you had to get the farmers team to bail your flivver out.
