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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?

  by RubaDub in

  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.

  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; .

  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

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.
