  Bringing Your Files Up To Date!

  by Atlantis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several of the members here have written to us and remarked that they would like to bring their file folders up to date.. some believe they are missing a letter, form, or manual here or there.

  so, i asked atlantis to put a folder together for me to send out to folks, so that they could bring their files up to date and fill in missing documents.. the file folder he put together has everything you can think of in it.

  including the kitchen sink, bedroom slippers, and extra toilet paper just in case there is another shortage.. the folder goes back 10 years.. 2010 to 2020--06--04 right up until today.

  Covid-19 death rate

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. social
  2. current

  worldwide numbers – 13%.

  deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

  deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

  BI I didn't specified well that the people tested in general (hospital or not) are anyway only a fraction of the real infected population.

  So if you calculate with the real amount of people the lethality of this virus is very low. It is a strong flue but not so much more... Nothing to be scared... Unfortunately as a strong flue old people and already diseased people could die, as each year died before. But from here to make a lock down like this... Jeeeez

  Each day people are dying from car accident... What we do to prevent? Stop driving?!?

  Each day people died or get injured for accident in their own apartment? What we do to prevent? Put in jail all the people?!?

  So as you can see the real problem are not the issue in the first place... Are the crazy solution

  Sorry BI but I think Simon is totally right and you totally wrong...however as Simon said it depend on first instance what you want to calculate...but according the general meaning of the words that you used your math is wrong. The correct lethal rate is according the infected population, which you can only estimate as there is not a real check. The one tested in hospital are only a fraction of the infected people. A lot of people are infected but have no symptoms.

  What you estimate is only the death rate percentage of people who are in the hospital WITH covid... But is it an important number?

  I don't think so...

  A quote from Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife was reading this book and telling me how much she enjoyed it and looked up the quote below to share it with me.

  i quite enjoyed it, so i'm sharing it with you, for what it's worth:strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction!

  strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane—like all dreams: a god who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell—mouths mercy and invented hell—mouths golden rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites a poor, abused slave to worship him.

  How service is being conducted with the zoom meetings

  by newsheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of ours who is married to a jw said that this morning for service everyone who was on zoom got to do a call while the rest listened in on the call.

  there were thirty-one this morning listening in on one who would call someone to preach to.

  shouldn't the person they are calling on be warned first that there will be so many listening in on their phone call from the zoom meeting.
