many of us have watched the gb #4 update.
most of us jumped for joy when they basically said that there will be no meeting in person for a long time to come.. one aspect we overlooked was how hard they hit home the "love of neighbor".
how this "love" is what makes a true christian and as a result our love for our neighbors will motivate us to stay at home.. well now they released a letter that is instructing all kh's to view this video during their local needs part.
I've only showed up for the first couple or so Zoom boast sessions.
The elders then tried to enforce my camera being on - but didn't push that really hard .
So, I just used that time for my own business. And I've missed last couple meetings even without Zooming in.
It's hell lot easier these days, actually. And BTW, I'm not that different from the eldubs/pioneers who similarly do next to nothing for the borg, in fact.

Last week in our congo, we had that funny Announcement about receiving 'apostate replies' while preaching online.
this article seems to confirm what we already knew:.

i agree with people who say all lives matter.
i think blm is a racist group.
if white people pushed an agenda saying white lives matter, some people would have a conniption..
Kneeling down, humiliating, confusing the law enforcement and the army is a way to prepare your country to surrender/break.
It has all started with the same BS here, in Ukraine, in 2014 ('antifascists' slash terrorists and looters, and propaganda brainwashed civilians harassing their own army - preparing way for the Russian machinery and troops).

it's an old "Divide et impera" ("Divide and conquer") agenda.
The moment you start dividing people to categories (black/red/white/rich/poor/atheists/muslims/christians, etc etc), you're already in this game, seeding plants of hatred and violence. Whichever side you take.
from the peacefull netherlands i have a question about the current situation in the us.. is a civil war possible?.

@Simon - you're repeatedly attacking my humble self instead of listening to what I'm actually trying to say. You blame me with the weird things and motives. Looks like you're really a bit overemotional these days...
I won't force any my opinion here - just wanted to share the experience we have here, in Ukraine (I know you may be pissed of with this country because of BS campaign in your media - but still..)

@Simon - I don't watch CNN at all, actually :) (as the rest of the US news - except ABCnews very occasionally).
But I wouldn't be that much sure about the absence of Russian influence specifically inside the US. They have their agents of influence world-wide (thanks to EU sponsoring them for decades via oil/gas trade) - why should the US be the exception?
I didn't mean to put the blame for loots, etc on your 'right' or whoever. I was just trying to say, it doesn't matter for your enemies who to use in order to spread chaos. Today, they might use BLM - tomorrow they might use whoever is ready to follow Russian goals, be it right, be it communists, be it white supremacists, islamists, etc. It's just the manner they do their bloody business

I'm not that much informed about the details of the US inner politic situation, @Simon - but what I know for sure is that almost (or all) European radical far-right (as well as far-left) movements/parties are sponsored from Moscow.
My guess is something similar might be well happening in the US. It doesn't matter whether you're left or right, black or white, or whatever - they just need to create some chaos/violence (real 'civil war' would be the best scenario for your enemies).

Sorry to say that, but - "Welcome to the hybrid war era, dear US brothers and sisters".
There are several states/groups in the world openly hating the USA, its allies and the Western civilization as a whole. They are not capable of winning a conventional war - so, guess what would they want to do?
P.S.:
Here, in Ukraine, we had the similar crazy stuff going on in 2013/2014 inspired and heated by the Russian media/finances/weapons/proxies, etc. In the early 2014, it was first just ridiculous to hear their chants about a possibility of a 'civil war' in our country. And now - guess what? We've got 6+ years of a so called 'civil' war (in fact, with Russian army and Russian proxies) with no end to it in sight.
