  I want to challenge Any JW, past or present, to show me, From Scripture a couple of things;

  by Testeverything in

  2. beliefs

  where it is commanded/commissioned that a group of people should build a house of worship called a kingdom hall??

  ---i have a lot of relevant scriptures on that subject.

  i would also like to see where it says in the word of yahweh that he chose a man-made organization to be his "voice" that he speaks through; .

  Get a copy of their ‘Reasoning’ and ‘insight’ on scriptures, the absolute best a JW can do is parrot these books and other WT publications

  You should find a brick wall to practice your conversations with, talking to JWs will be much the same.

  Warning!

  by FedUpJW in

  no...not a warning from me, rather that is the subject of the "local needs" that i heard was presented via zoom tonight.. beware of apps!

  they harped on the idea that only apps approved by the governing body should ever be downloaded or used by jdubs.

  they said if they had not been featured in the litterature or specifically recommended by the governing body then jdubs should heed the warning and avoid them.. i guess they are, as we all suspected, very afraid of what the dubs will find out now that they have to use only electronic devices for their "food"..

  WT vs Apps

  A battle for people’s minds.

  If sometimes you can’t find the TV remote, they’ve an app that turns a phone into a TV remote.

  I just can’t get that warm fuzzy feel that I get from my apps from Jehovah or the WT, I’m sorry

  who needs a press secretary when the president details what is happening every day to keep us informed?

  i think he’s doing a very good job considering what is happening in the usa and the world..

  former united kingdom prime minister gordon brown calls for "creating a form of global government....to tackle the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus".. isn't that crazy?

  that's a dangerous idea.

  Because when I want some no nonsense, completely unbiased and bullshit free opinions on Trump, I ask minimus. He tells it straight.

  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.

  If I may compare Australia and New Zealand`s response to the virus I think NZ has been ahead of Australia by coming out and laying down the law straight away whereas Australia has been coming out in dribs and drabs as to what restrictions are being applied .
  

  The way ScoMo’s done it though has kept business and workers employed up until now.

  If you’re a contractor making 50-$60 an hour your grateful for another weeks work, and so is the apprentice.

  Australia was very quick to stop large social gatherings which will reduce transmissions drastically.

  What are your thoughts on Animal testing?

  i just watched the netflix movie the animal people.

  although i don't really agree in general with any eco or the like terrorists, watching the hidden cam video of the way these animals were treated was just sick.

  anyone see this or the like movies?.

  @JimmyYoung

  The PETA types have no balance, hunters usually kill humanely, looking after the environment and animal conservation isn’t necessarily at odds with killing animals.

  I couldn’t watch the type of unnecessary cruelty you described.

  We have had scandal in Australia recently with the revelation of race horses been slaughtered here in shocking numbers

  Thanks DOC.

  Thats virtually Australia’s policy also, and has been in place for while, though we are far behind US in terms of community transmission. Australians are expecting even tougher laws soon that will see total closure. It does seem the USA has been a little slow to jump.

  What’s going on in US, surely they’ve locked the entire place down?

  How long have they been enforcing social distancing?
