Question For People Being Put Onto A Ventilator - How Is It Powered?

by Simon in

jw
friends

imagine you or a loved one have to go onto a ventilator and are given the choice of how it should be powered.

what are people picking?.

coal or oil powered energy.

2+2=5

I bought acreage and it had no power or services. Energex, my state power supply could bring power for 80-100k. There were 3-4 property owners that would potentially use the power, so that 100k would be dived between us all, but only one other owner was keen to pitch in.
After researching I went with an off grid solar system, and I’m very glad I did. Not cheap, but for 40k, I’ve got a stand alone system and it’s all ready survived storms, one major one that saw thousands of people in my district without power, so it’s more reliable than grid for myself. I had cricket ball sized hail land on my panels and they survived 100% in tact, it produces more than enough power to run a family home daily my batteries stay pretty full constantly.
I’m no greenie but it is seriously the best thing I’ve ever done

why did jehovah create corona virus?

by stan livedeath in

why did jehovah create the strains of corona virus ?.

is it part of the great tribulation that is closer than ever now ?.

what if lots of his people die from it ?.

I don’t think the Spanish flu is a corona, it’s influenza style.

The covid19 has symptoms more in line with a rhinovirus which is the common cold.

About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..

by snugglebunny in

unleavened bread has no yeast in it.

and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?

not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

2+2=5

You can’t call that rubbish bread, it’s a biscuit at best.. so it’s basically a shit biscuit

i was wondering about that half-table/half-podium thing that jw's use on the platform.

is that unique to jw's & do they build them, like shakers had their own furniture?.

2+2=5

I know at least one hall where the podium and all the stage furniture was hand made locally by a JW

My D.I.L. Works in a Pharmacy and gets abused by stupid people.

by smiddy3 in

hi friends ,my d.i.l.

works in a pharmacy and looks after people who needs prescriptions and advice on health care products that patrons need .and the sad thing is with this covid19 virus seems to be bringing out the worst in too many people as more often than not she is getting abused and challenged for wearing what she and her workmates have to keep themselves and the public free from this virus.. there are notices all around the store telling people that they are out of certain items and cant supply them such as hand sanitizers ,face masks ,gloves ,personal disinfectant wipes etc,etc.and she gets abused because she has gloves on ,has a face mask on ,and has hand sanitizer that she can use and the customer says something like you have it why cant i get it ?.

in an abusive and challenging way and its getting her down.. she is getting tired of trying to tell the public she is their to help them and if she and her co-workers get sick the shop will close and nobody will get the help they need.. also they don`t respect the distance they need to keep from each other they lean over the counter with there hands touching everything trying to get in her face complaining.not only do they not appreciate they should only be in the store to get what they need and then get out ,they just treat it like any other normal day and browse around the shop picking up any and everything then putting it down again and buying items that are not necessary for their day to day existence .. i feel very sorry for her and all of the people doing like minded work , who are suffering under the same stress needlessly by unthinking uncaring people .. i just want to add she is a beautiful young lady who has a lovely caring personality and its a shame that she and others in her profession are subjected to this form of abuse.. note : this is happening in regional victoria australia.

2+2=5

There is no excuse to behave like this, what is shocking is how commonplace it is in society , it’s been beyond disappointing.

Some regional places in Australia haven’t seen the panic buying, the closer to population the more trash the behaviour.

In Australia we have an abundance, food especially, we export the majority of our produce and supply ourselves the majority we consume, yet everyone is stepping on each other to buy the last apple on a shelf. The hardware stores are war zones for the actual trades persons who need to get things.

Imagine a flu strain that actually had a 5% mortality in children? Surely the collapse of society as we know it, populations at war, everyman for himself. Like that song, Imagine all the bloodshed, it’s easy if we try

The radicals make me feel like I have to defend Trump when I don't want to because of their crazy lies.

by JimmyYoung in

as i have stated in other posts i voted for trump because he said he would crack down on illegals while the left was trying to open the flood gates and let them in to destroy the nation.

was he the one i wanted in 16, no i was hoping for cruz.

he is arrogant but smart and somewhat polished and had many views like i do.

I actually find the Hilary jokes go over very lightly round here, the bitch is an easy target

Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?

by RubaDub in

jw
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.

2+2=5

It sounds like this Cuomo is a wonderful politician.

He should make a career out of it

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

by Testeverything in

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; .

2+2=5

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
