i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!

what say you??
Our store shelves are still empty going on 6 weeks of every paper good, disinfectants, pasta, beans, rice, peanut butter and now meat. We can't find masks so we made them.
I'm going back to work on Monday and my aversion has nothing to do with apocalyptic shortages.
I've managed to find a muffin top, my boobs are obscene and my roots are horrific.
ever since i came out of the witnesses, i've become very political.. i've heard lots of arguments back and forth for many things.. in the u.s. there is the argument that it is "racist" to want to deny entry to muslims.
while there is freedom of religion, there is also the very valid concern of maintaining democracy and a justice system that is based on modern values.we as exjw's constantly quote the pew center for statistics on jw's such as: they are last place in the us for members of a religion that go to university, and second-last for poverty levels of members of a religion.
we accept those statistics and mention them as proof of how damaging the jw's are.now, let's use the same center for some very scary statistics on islam:http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/22/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/.
Someone is suffering from COVID 19 Derangement Syndrome.
i’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.

Hookers and booze.

Some data looks like the common flu. A lot of data doesn't. I don't think trying to make this a political issue works. The entire globe is suffering many of which at this moment are on the threshold of being horrific.
I understand the angst. I want to get back to work too. But we all need to calm down and focus on what we can control instead of what we can not.
Personally, I am moved by the world unity for the most part that for decades I was told would not be possible. Yes there are some outliers and that is ok too. They bring a balance to the force.
If this is the best the cosmos can throw at us in a universe that is trying to kill us all, we should be thankful we are doing as well as we are.
during our family worship tonight a thought popped into my head while watching this weeks video on demon influence.
why is does jehovah not like certain things?
like why is homosexuality wrong?
Behavior control, information control, thought control, emotional control.

so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.
she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.
oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.
The check-ins are to serve as a daily reminder that you are being watched and your donations are still expected as well as your meeting attendance when stay-at-home is lifted. You better be keeping up on your studies and preparing for meetings as well as if nothing has changed.
WTBTS know well that with the taste of freedom and the bliss that comes from not going to meetings/FS they're going to lose a bunch of publishers when all is said and done.
They're trying to flatten their own curve with a daily nagging reminder.
the us government is providing financial funds for "faith based entities" i wonder if watchtower has there hand out for these funds?.

Link to information?
Tax exempt institutions would receive little to no funding from the federal government. Guidlines for behavior of faith based entities have been published. Most are adhering some are not.

The United States Supreme Court has said that faith-based organizations may not use direct government support to support "inherently religious" activities. Basically, it means you cannot use any part of a direct Federal grant to fund religious worship, instruction, or proselytization. Instead, organizations may use government money only to support the non-religious social services that they provide. Therefore, faith-based organizations that receive direct governmental funds should take steps to separate, in time or location, their inherently religious activities from the government-funded services that they offer.
i am totally lost.
can someone explain what is happening with this issue, please?i read online that gb is trying to coverup or defend themselves and their organization... like what happened?

But they are "true" JW's. The Governing Body defends them in court with that contribution box money.
