  Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

  i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

  i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

  i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  After he mentions the UV light, he mentions the "disinfectant" that knocks it out in a minute and is there a way we can do that by injection. Just watched the clip from April 24 to make sure what his exact wording is.

  So no, you are right, he did not say beach, he said disinfectant, but still he mentions injecting that into the body, so it is not a hoax.

  "they would be so receptive right now" - typical thinking from a Dub, just like when they make their move on someone who just lost a loved one.

  Only in their minds would they be so receptive, it is extremely rare that someone actually walks up to these carts planted everywhere and asks them to tell me more about your religion

  Finkelstein I was thinking all those Bethelites in Warwick, you know some of them have to have it, but they will never let those numbers out, even if some of them die, just dig a whole a few miles from the headquarters and bury them and that's it.

  From CeFaan Kim, an ABC Correspondent:

  "Multiple sources tell ABC News that Pres. Trump turned to former Yankee Alex Rodriguez for advice this week. A source close to Rodriguez described the call as "pleasant" adding that Trump was seeking thoughts from ARod about the coronavirus response"

  So, there ya' go, I guess we can all sleep a little better tonight.

  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.

  LV you mention Cuomo had the opportunity to purchase thousands of vents two years but didn't, that sounds interesting, where did you read that?

  "LV101 - He's really hurt the other states allowing NYers to hit the road and run when many are infected - totally irresponsible spreading the disease"

  Respectfully asking how that's his fault some NYers decided to hit the road, there are 49 other states and so far, I have not read of any state line policing, or have I missed that.

  "Trump is killing it - he's making people feel like we'll get through this and is deferring to the experts on medical matters."

  Fauci is certainly an expert I agree, how can we all forget that face palm he gave Trump the other day. He's killing us basically if he wants to remove the bans and isolations going on by Easter.

  Ahhh, now I get your mindset.

  Dano - this is the perfect scenario, they are taking your kids to the meetings, so say one weekend that you would like to take their kids along to a Mass or some religious service every now and then they take your kids to the KH. THe majority of JWs would pop into their pompous mode and say my child is not to attend any religious meeting unless it's at the KH.

  I want to try something new, any ideas?

  normally when jws come to my door, i very quickly tell them i'm not interested in the jws.

  and for about a year or so they don't come until that time passes.

  well, they came by today, but this time i decided to not tell them to go away but had a nice conversation with the two that were at my door.

  What was pointed out to me from a former elder is to go easy, don't start out strong accusing them of this and that. Ask them about the blood issue, say everyone knows that JWs don't take blood, but my "aunt" who is a JW now says you can take blood fractions. Since she always seems to have a scripture to back up what she says, what scripture says blood fractions are OK to take?
