  MORTALITY rates Pre-Covid and Post-Covid (How are we going to understand?)

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got out my calculator and looked up mortality statistics.

  i wanted to get a "feel" for what is normal ina non-pandemic world in order to compare with how things are now.once had had a "feeling" for it i began to notice that media has a dramatic (perhaps overblown) tendency toterrify the public by framing death rates, predictions, and political discord hysterically.

  mortality in a normal world.

  There is no question the Covid virus is worrisome but to fair the statistical information put out by the media is advantageous in that it lets the general public know whats going on without being restricted or regulated by some governmental authority

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  The political polling business is now just another political tool used

  for influencing voters, not surveying them.

  So then from that comment being that out 40 or more polls taken around the country stating by their accountable numbers of which the democrats come out ahead means all those pollsters were conducted by democrat supporters and therefore viably dishonest .

  .........interesting ????

  From a person's viewpoint of not living in the country anymore, it would appear there is strong political divide within the country right now where choices are well set and established.

  The reality is neither will win big but it would seem by virtue of the latest polls around the country that the democrats will win the electoral vote placing Biden into office.

  How do you switch off the thoughts of being raised JW and feelings of anger

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  raised as a jo blow and married into it.

  37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.

  bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.

  When you leave the JWS cult you gain so much with the potential toward great possibilities, such as an increase in educated knowledge, intellectual honesty, not being mind controlled by lying, corrupt and ignorant religoius charlatans.

  You Know You're A Jehovah's Witness When...

  by pale.emperor in

  1. social
  2. humour

  you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..

  Trump has had both some pluses and minuses in his first term in office but I think his minuses will caustically push a portion of the votes over to the democrats this election.

  It actually comes down to how or what he and his administration accomplished or didn't accomplish as the case may be.

  Suggested unlawful conspiracy theories are just that until proven in court.
  

  Even if Biden's son was up to some hanky panky , what does that have to do with him, he's the guy running for the Presidency and will be the President of the US as his job of responsibility ???

  Did Hunter exploit his father's power and position in the political field to gain a personal job for himself ?, probably did but is that outright morally wrong ?
  

  I've known quite a few good honorable men who had shit poor offspring .

  He was just playing to the viewable press how much love and compassion he has for children, he isn't sexaul assaulting them or touching them in a overly inappropriate way.

  Politicians seem to always make themselves publicly known how much they love babies and children, its a bit of self promoting old school style that just about all politicians seem to do, well at least the older politicians at least.
  

  He certainly didn't say " Well when your a celebrity you grab woman's Pu...s " like what Trump said and he did have sex with a porn star while he was married either.
  

  He also didn't say woman should be in the kitchen at home looking after their husbands and children like what the Trump said, a very misogynistic statement to be sure.

  so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.

  my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.

  to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

  Obviously she didn't leave her estate to WTS or else every elder would have been there with the CO tagging along too
