Coronavirus Positive
by snare&racket inhey all,.
i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.
i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

It's not about spiritually; it's about control and keeping JWs on the never ending wheel of mindless busy work so they won't have time to question or think for themselves.
I realize now that I would I have been far more spiritual if I had not been a JW. I spent 35 years toiling as a JW with no time for real spirituality.

Sister Not Sure If She Is 144 000 or Great Crowd
by Awake at last ini haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.
however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.
today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.

I would tell her not to worry over it. If the JW God is who he says he is, then he knows her feelings and will handle her situation in the best way. She's guaranteed happiness [according to JW belief (I wish I could believe that)], so she will fit in and feel at home wherever she ends up - earth or heaven.

lancelink, i remember that, too. It was sometime before 1986, and it was about the fact that the UN was declaring 1986 to be The International Year of Peace. When the announcement was made at the end of the district convention where I was in Tennessee, you could hear a pin drop. JWs made a big deal about it. And then it came and went and nothing happened.

Thank you much, Petra & Atlantis!
Just watched the video. Sickening. Cult. They're so worried about the rank and file learning the real truth.
They act like they're so concerned about "the flock". 'Oh, somebody might steal your info if you use one of these unauthorized apps.' Hell, they stole my whole life - cost me literally millions in missed wages and missed retirement opportunities and other missed opportunities.

"We hope this letter greets you well." Does that even make sense? Letters don't greet, do they?

People criticize the rank of The WatchTower and Awake!
by dydeonwl inpeople are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.
a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.
in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.

That rank is meaningless. I saw evidence of that for decades. Most JWs didn't read (or read all) of the mags. Of the ones that were actually placed in the field, most were not read or given a second thought. Stacks and stacks ended up lying around unplaced/unread at JWs' houses. Stacks were left at laundromats, hospitals, etc. and probably thrown away.
I, myself, as a believing, zealous, regular pioneer, had hundreds at my house that were never placed. Same with my zealous pioneer JW grandfather. Same with my other JW relatives. Same with my JW friends. Same with mags at the Kingdom Hall.

I was thinking "what the hell is this?" Kept watching episodes and reading comments and finally got the answer:

One funny comment on episode 1: "While watching this video my dad came in and I switched to porn because it was easier to explain."
