Happy birthday!
I’ve made some JWN anniversary edition apostate head bands and sticks. They look fantastic, I never leave home without mine.
as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

even though i am partially in the it area of business, i don't understand here how people are saying that someone can control a camera through zoom.
so if i am sitting with a shirt and tie, someone on the other end can can control the camera and see that i am naked from the waist down and periodically have an itch?
or quickly move to the side and have a beer?.
"amateur porn."
Amateur religion, it’s far worse
The Spanish flu killed millions, I don’t recall anyone suggesting that calling it Spanish was offensive.
The wet markets in China have been ripe for this now for decades, it’s all very yucky over there.
Disgusting old Chinese wet markets, I’m such a racist.

I thought it was a just a live visual audio camera, like Skype or facetime conference thing, I’d never heard of Zoom until a few days ago myself.
"while we have seen increased usage of our service globally, there are no assurances that we will also experience an increase in paying customers or that new or existing users will continue to utilize our services at the same levels after the outbreak has tempered,” zoom said in the filing.. https://mspoweruser.com/zoom-warns-investors-they-may-become-a-victim-of-their-own-success-as-costs-spiral/.
at the moment lots of jdumbs are using the 40 minute free modes, but the paper says it has made it free since the corona crisis.. i was just thinking this could lead to either a problem for jdumbs if zoom puts a hefty price for users or,their may be a opportunity for washtowel to dig their fingers into the pie as we have seen in their dealings.
its all about the money.. perhaps washtowel will develop their own and sell it to their members since they have most of this technology set up....donations can pour in again like water.... what are your thoughts!.
This zoom shit is really happening, I met a JW at work yesterday who had been on Zoom for a meeting the night before.
He said everyone is tuned in constantly, so it’s essential to sit quiet.
I smiled, nodded my head and died a bit inside.
australia has closed gyms, churches, restaurants, pubs (oh no), beaches.
most state borders are now closed.

Yes Smiddy, thank Zeus the liqour stores are classed as essential services!!
Yep, and cannabis still impossible to access even for the sick.
What a shit circus of a world we live in
SARS is actually SARS-CoV, MERS is actually MERS-CoV, this virus is CoVID-19, and all three are different strains of the coronavirus. COVID-19 is actually a strain that came directly from the SARS virus
And also why research for a drug or vaccine that will control it was well underway before this strain of the coronavirus emerged.
Hindsight, a wonderful thing.
God bless RNA viruses, aren’t they a wonder of creation.
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.
Australians who were in living Wuhan have stated that rumours of a bad flu style virus were circulating in November, one man got covid19 in early December and was freely travelling the world before anyone knew a thing.
China was obviously trying to sweep this under a rug before it got out of hand
can you believe this gibberish coming out of their mouths now; specifically from the clown-horse's own mouth :.
"things unfolding around us are making clear that ...(wait for it).."we are living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days,shortly before the last day of the last days"!!!!!!!!!!!!.
i wonder what next...ummmmm...final part of the final part of the final part of the finalpart...(on a recurring loop), you get the idea!.
I don’t think they’ll leave this video up long.
How did the cameraman (we know it’s not a woman) or anybody else in the room, not say something? How could anybody let such stupid speech represent their org?
How does nobody in editing go, “oh shit, he says final and last days like 9 times it sounds incredibly stupid..”
How do they let this happen without actually stopping it and wiping the dribble from his chin? “the final part of the final part, shortly before the last day of the last days”
over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.
apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?
".
This begs the question... "what's the point?"
That’s the special talk theme this year, they’re finally doing their big reveal
