  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  They produced some DVDs about the organisations history, have you seen them?

  They misrepresent what they believed prior to 1914, it’s a deliberate attempt to make it seem they made a special prediction

  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.

  It is ridiculous how the are clamping down, often over-aggressively, on people who are at very little risk and are just getting some exercise going for walks alone
  

  It’s gone to far IMO, things like closing all the skate parks where the youths like to gather. It also only really relies on people’s goodwill, and if the populations start to disobey the rules the government has no way of controlling it.

  We need to accept the risk to a degree, like we do with everything in Iife and try to find a better balance, these empty park benches and play swings isn’t going to work long term

  I disliked your post, and your comments afterwards, you have obvious bias.

  Actually I find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased. I think most of them are amazing people, and I wish more non-Witnesses were like them.

  You’ve labeled people apostates and the JWs as amazing.

  I’m not going to feed you any further

  The historical idealism in the JW propaganda is blatant, you’re sounding like a troll

  I love yard work, I have been spending heaps of time outside and given my very limited social life nothing much has changed for me.

  There is a massive native and fruit tree nursery that home delivers plants Australia wide, I’ve been doing my bit supporting the local economy and staying isolated with my plants.

  I miss sports on the tv though, without doubt the hardest adjustment I’ve had to make.

  Sir82 absolutely nailed it, I know a few that loved putting piles of cash in the box, at least one of those won’t contribute a dime electronically and I think you could multiply that by thousands of individuals.

  What's up with old geezers in the Bible?

  what the hell is the problem with the famous “men of old” in the bible?

  for some strange reason those old geezers (and some not so old) could not recognize who they were screwing?.

  my wife was listening to this week’s bible reading about jacob, laban, and the sisters leah, and rachael.

  It’s so stupid, the Lot story is morally repugnant.

  Who mistakenly fucks the wrong person?

  I’m no expert on the female anatomy, I have noticed that the vagina is always attached to a body and a face. Pretty hard to get things wrong or mixed up, this indiscriminate rooting that was taking place in the bible is inexcusable on many levels

  How much will Life Change after its all over?

  this period of crisis seems endless and absolutely weird but end it will.. in the mean-time people are working successfully from home, the skies have cleared, international meetings are held on line.

  lots of frustrating commuter journeys are just not necessary.

  the world is cleaning itself almost visibly in days, the skies are clearing.

  Sport too. Can we live without it? I think so.

  I'm interested in discussing basic JW doctrines that you believe are unscriptural

  background info: although i'm an apostate, i don't hate jehovah's witnesses, or the organization itself.

  actually i find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased.

  i think most of them are amazing people, and i wish more non-witnesses were like them.

  Also, many here a shunned by the JWs simply for not believing in the rubbish any longer. Not just the odd JW, but systemic shunning from lifelong childhood friends, shunned from your own parents or children.

  I’d be careful about announcing them as special
