  Will You Still Wear A Mask Even If You Don’t Have To?

  by minimus in

  it seems that some people just aren’t ready to put those masks aside even if they are fully vaccinated!

  some can’t help but think their brains aren’t ready for “normal”..

  It's exhausting, isn't it? I'm sick of working out in a mask too.

  I will not be wearing a mask for one second longer than I have to. I don't wear it around in public unless I'm on public transport now anyway because I'm not afraid of the half-second I breath in someone else's air in passing. This whole pandemic is overblown.

  Why haven't they re-started the 'cart witnessing'?

  by eyeslice in

  we are nearly 18 months into this pandemic and lot has been learned and our behaviour modified to make things safer for us, e.g.

  the wearing of face masks and social distancing.. many countries such as australia, new zealand, the uk and usa either have things under control or have vaccinated a large portion of the population.

  therefore, given the very passive nature of the 'cart witnessing', i can't see why this hasn't be re-started.

  I think they're afraid of a lawsuit and that's why they're holding off on any public or cart witnessing. If someone got COVID, whether a JW or a person at the door, they might get sued.

  400 Rockets Hit Israel

  israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.

  evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..

  Israel has a right to defend itself.

  I am still not able to solve this God's name paradox...

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am finishing to read the entire bible (nwt 2013) for my first time (my fault) and i wrote down hundreds, maybe thousands, of questions not clear to me, but one especially came in my mind meditating on god's name.. if i wanted to summarize the entire bible in one phrase i would say (even before the kingdom): god’s name sanctification.. god is jealous about his name.

  he does everything for the love of his name, and he wants to be called and prayed using his name.

  no doubt about all this (repeated several times in the bible), but it involves the pronunciation of his name.. god left us his name in the form of יהוה which is unpronounceable.

  Psyco, you sound like a JW. Are you?

  Google Street view: Will I get disfellowshipped?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. experiences

  yesterday, while having a smoke outside my house, i saw the google street view car drive by.

  so here i am, wondering when this picture will make it to the web and when a jw sees it.

  even if they blur the face, i bet it will be really easy to make out who's smokin' outside.

  someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.

  maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.

  is this true?

  I thought it was down to 1 issue every 2 months, for 6 issues annually. But I might be wrong.

  I've been reading selected texts of Plato and...The bible is really going out of it's way

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  2. bible

  after timaeus and crisis i had over 20 parallels to genesis 1-6 and i wasn't even cherry picking.

  after symposium not only did i feel sick at the pedophilia in the text but i say lines that made it into 1 corinthians 13.. yeah,...the famous ones.

  socrates looked at young boys for hours on end.).

  I wouldn't be surprised, it's just not something I've looked into myself. Kudos to you.

  Are you working on a book? That's cool. I'd be interested in hearing more about the parallels you're finding.

  Ah, without speculation what would they have? It's a religion based on empty promises.
