Thank you Pale. Viruses are funny things they can show up anywhere. If you could ask the almost 110,000 who have died from it or the close to 2 million who came down with the virus what would they say. The lock down happen so the hospitals would not become overwhelmed with sick people. It is a short time solution with the hope they can come up with a vaccine.

Here many feel it is all over. Big wedding a week ago in our area now 20 came down with the virus. Yesterday a block from us a large birthday party of more than 30 people. I hope none come down with it. We are just a rural community not a large city. Look at Florida and other hot spots. It's not over it is not fake news. Some on this board came down with it. This is the type of conspiracies theory that hurt people. Still Totally ADD

Hierarchy of Organization

by lostsheep82 in

hi, i'm looking for the article published in the 90s i think (i was a teenager) and it showed a diagram of the organizational hierarchy, at the top was jesus, then governing body all the way down to publishers it was in a pyramid style org chart.... can someone point me in the right direction?

additionally, does anyone remember the article or any articles that stated how bad it was that other religions had hierarchy like that?

i remember this being discussed at like a watchtower study or maybe it was a bookstudy.... i am on the hunt for another topic to discuss with my jw parents.

Boy when I saw that chart as a teenager I took it hook, line and sinker. For whatever reason it cemented my thinking this is the true religion. Now I see it as a Amway business chart. Still Totally ADD

Witnessing Work to Stop?

by Sea Breeze in

my 87 year old dad called me for the first time in 16 years the other day .... just to chat.

i was floored to say the least since he didn't even bother to call me when my mom died several years ago.

he called again today to inquire how i felt about jehovah's witnesses.

Still Totally ADD

So let's say they will no longer go door to door anymore. Does that mean a older one dye in the wool witness goes door to door on their own, are they now a apostate? This is truly a slippery slope they are going down if this is true. How could they be called Jehovah Witnesses? If they are not knocking on doors. Maybe it is just wishful thinking on their part.

Economic Recovery after COVID-19

by Simon in

it feels like we've really turned a corner, this morning especially.. the covid lockdowns are ending and medical systems were not overwhelmed plus there are existing treatments that have been proven to be effective (like hydroxychloroquine) and new vaccines and medicines in the pipeline.

a week or so ago the dems were dead against opening things up but since they are encouraging protests (which often turn violent) they can't continue that stance - thus proving trumps claim that it will soon be gone.

the majority of the deaths were politician-assisted (which i hope people are prosecuted for) so it's not the big risk we were led to believe and (over) reacted to.. the bls reported this morning that the us economy just added a huge number of jobs (most on record) and will undoubtedly benefit even more from a drive to source local production and supply chains going forwards.

Still Totally ADD

The Stock market will be a V but the rest of the economy will be a big U if not flat. The billionaires have accomplished one of the biggest money shifts in history. The average guy will be suffering for years to come. By the way there is still no proof that hydroxychloroquine works on the virus but there is lots of evidence it is unsafe for Covd-19 virus. A vaccine is the big hope we are looking for.

In FL it is still going up and in our little neck of the woods in western NY it is still going up. So be safe out there by using social distancing and wearing a mask. Take care. Still Totally ADD

How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

just an odd thought i guess.

i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.

i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

Still Totally ADD

I have seen a group of black snakes doing a mating dance. I have had a snake rattle at me and I have had numerous snakes scare the crap out of me. But I have never had one talk to me. In the bible there are two snake stories. The Eve with the talking snake and Moses making a snake come to life from his staff and eating other snakes. Like others I don't like snakes but as soon as they evolve into talking snakes I am leaving this planet. Lol. Still Totally ADD

Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

by Number 6 in

growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

Still Totally ADD

Phizzy like you I am a old fart born in the mid 1950's. I remember very well the large conventions, new information and more so called enlightment. It was exciting when a new book came out. The 1971 conventions come to mind when the new elder arrangement came out. It was a time of of fear and excitement of the new system.

By the late 1980's all that started to die down. No exciting new information, books were mostly rehashed stuff from older books and then the boring conventions came. By the time 2000's came and no new system in sight it all became changing major teachings to peat and repeat. Along with the art of dumbing down everything. By the time I left in 2010 it was the start of the big money grab. Next it's time to become a televangelist organization. If they do it right they will be richer than ever just like the other televangelist scam artist on TV. Still Totally ADD
