  I'm sick of him and his "guidance" (orders). Doesn't mean they aren't relevant, but I swear sometimes I'm back in a JW meeting with the way these doctors talk. It's the same message on repeat, ad nauseam. Wear masks, social distance, wash your hands. Yep, I do that, could you just shut up for a while? It's been a year of this shit.

  Are You Confident With Covid Vaccines and What Officials Say Is The Right Thing To Do?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of my friends have gotten the vaccines and are quite confident that it’s just what the doctor ordered.

  i’m not confident with dr. fauci.

  i don’t like the fact that the makers of the vaccines are not held responsible if someone taking the vac develops an illness or even death.

  There are not 6.2 billion people in the US...

  I agree with minimus: this is a legit discussion.

  All I know is I'm going to get a vaccine to be safe. I'm scheduled for next month.

  has anyone on here downloaded the app " jw scheduler"?.

  in perusing this site i see info re if publishers are going back to the halls after the covid is "in control".

  some comments are that numbers are dropping - not here... more connected than were actually going to the halls.

  Do elders use this app to keep tabs on the flock? That would interest me. It sounds like it's in use somewhat widely.

  Why Do People Loot and Destroy When Someone Gets Shot?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone gets shot and or killed and hundreds of people decide to loot and destroy businesses or whatever else is in their path.

  what does this do to make things better?

  i really don’t get how they think it makes things better or solves anything..

  They ought to be prosecuted, I agree with you. It's bullshit if people are destroying someone else's property without being held accountable.

  No need to make this personal man ("I don't know what's wrong with you"). We're just having a conversation, and I usually appreciate your perspective. I still do. Let's leave it at that.

  The damage is done no matter what, we're on the same page about that. I'm not arguing for clemency.

  I stand by what I said. I think people are more complicated then they've been cast in this thread. I'm not excusing looting or violence after a shooting. I'm only trying to say we can't paint rioters with a broad brush. That's all. Their motivations are probably more complex, which does not change the damage they do.

  People get angry and they don't know how else to express it. That's my interpretation of why people sometimes loot after a minority is shot.

  Is it a great outlet for anger? No, it accomplishes nothing. Does it make sense? Yeah, unfortunately. They probably want to go after whoever shot another minority in cold blood and can't.

  It's all fluffy nonsense, I'm with you. And "Don't demand respect, earn it," is pretty rich coming from the Governing Body.
