i ask you all would anyone of you throw a party and have everyone atttending just to look at the refreshments?
would you invite people to a meal only to not be allowed to eat?.
absurd you say!.
Millions are invited but only to look at refreshments, never to eat a meal but invited to The lords evening meal! All be warned, tis the crazy season soon,be prepared to receive invites, visits and love-bombing for nought!
I don't recall seeing anywhere in the Bible that Jesus followers went around inviting the general public to the Lords Evening Meal. JW's don't know what to say when you ask them to show you where they got the idea that they had to do this.
written and produced by bible writers...you can't make this up!.
who needs hollywood scriptwriters when you already have a bible story that has drama, suspense, and unbelievable twists and turns?
imagine the story of a man who visits prostitutes, kills a 1,000 man army with a skull bone, kills a lion with his bare hands, loses his strength by getting a haircut, gets his eyes gouged out, works at a grain mill and tears down columns with his bare hands, killing himself and the philistines!
I loved the part where 1000 Philistine soldiers stood by as Sampson clonked them over the head, one by one with the jaw bone of a donkey.
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.
My Wife is one of the Supervisors (20+ years) of a large group of Medical labs who sees hundreds of patients each day. Their sanitation and testing procedures haven't changed because they are more than adequate as they are.
The Lab Techs don't wear masks themselves, rather, the patients are given a mask if they are coughing or sneezing so as to prevent the droplets from being spread. The Techs, because they are working directly in the patients face, only wear a mask if the patient (such as a child) has difficulty keeping the mask on or in place or has a condition that prevents him from wearing one.
There's a lot of silliness and misinformation out there. Yesterday at Home Depot, the cashier was wearing purple Nitrile gloves. I asked her why and she said it was because of the Contra virus. I told her that the virus doesn't bore through the skin rather it is spread by the hands to the mucous membranes of the eyes nose and mouth. The virus could be on the glove just as easily as on her hands.
She looked surprised and said "Well everyone else is wearing them so I figured I better wear them too".
The gloves gave her a false sense of security which could lead to her not washing her hands as regularly and or exposing her hands to the virus because she wasn't trained to take the gloves off properly.
I wonder if she'll run to Costco to get a crate of toilet paper after work.
the watchtower has posted a news item on the coronavirus on their website and officially endorces the advice of who, the world health organization which is described by wikipedia as -.
the world health organization (who) is a specialised agency of the united nations that is concerned with world public health.
it was established on 7 april 1948, and is headquartered in geneva, switzerland.
So leave the UN alone. Stop attacking the Watchtower with an issue you do not understand
I'm sure you already do see the irony but for the sake of discussion, I'll take the bait.
As I said in my earlier post, on one hand they believe that we are living in the time of the end and as part of God's plan the end of the system will be marked by horrible things including pestilence and disease and eventually destruction of wicked human governments and evil religions and all who are part of them.
They speak out of both sides of their mouths by alternating between believing that Satan is trying to turn all mankind away from Jehovah by getting them to follow him by transforming himself into an angel of light and/or they believe Satan is out to ruin mankind and intentionally causes them to do evil.
With all of the above in mind, how does the Governing Body know that by taking measures to try and stop the spread of this disease, Satan isn't using the U.N to foil God's end of days plan? How do they know that Satan isn't going to use his wicked organization to do harm to their followers and the rest of mankind?
On the other hand, instead of coming up with a plan of their own for their members to follow, "deep in the time of the end" they direct their followers to the very headquarters of the evil governments that they claim God hates. They trust the U.N. to come up with a sensible trustworthy plan even though they think it's run by Satan.
What's next?? When the end times food shortages begin, will the G.B be instructing the Witnesses to consult the Vatican website to see where their local Catholic Church has a soup kitchen set up?

Let me see if I've got this right:
They believe that worldwide sickness and disease is the beginning of Gods plan to end man's "system of things" which includes the U.N and it's various branches, who they believe are backed by Satan himself. They also use a scripture from the Bible to prove that their followers should follow the advice given by this organization, so that they can avoid getting the sickness and disease that they believe is part of God's will.
the jehovah's witnesses are taught by their organisation that christ's body was disposed by jehovah god, they deny the physical bodily resurrection and explain that he rose again as a spirit creature.
as we take into account what the watchtower teach, i explain from the bible that christ rose again from the grave in his body, and showing forth that the jehovah's witnesses are in error.
in this video i cover:
If Jesus did in fact exist and he did in fact die for our sins, what's the difference if his human body went to heaven or not so long as he's up there in one form or another and the sacrifice he made is still valid?
it seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.
i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.
is there an actual brain abnormality?
Is there an actual brain abnormality? Something misfired in the head??
If only there were a place where a person could look up information like that LOL! (wake up and smell the internet) LOL!

Those who died in Washington had underlying health issues and most were living in the same nursing home hence the high mortality rate.

Put it this way, if you have a gun with 50 chambers and you play Russian Roulette. That's the 2% odds. You might fancy your chances. But will you be as confident if you have to play it 10 times?
No I wouldn't ever intentionally point a gun at my head empty or full. I also wouldn't worry about the likelihood of encountering someone with a gun that only had one bullet in it, especially if that one bullet only had an 85% chance of doing me harm. I'd worry even less if that person and I were taking precautions to make sure the bullet stayed in the gun and/or missed other people if it did happen to fire.There are more risky things out there to focus on.
the final order was issued few hours ago:.

the record establishes that darkspilver made fair use of the watch tower ad and chart.
I imagine the JW's know they don't have a case in these instances but their intent is to make things as difficult as possible for anyone who speaks against them... slow them down. They have legal resources and deep pockets and probably hope to scare off the average Joe.
