  Will "social distancing" help JWs wake up.

  by Tantalon in

  with the existing and still to come covid19 lock downs in many countries i wonder if not being obliged to attend meetings and field service will give many jws the opportunity to clear their mind a little and start to see the cracks.

  i know they will be expected to log on to their devices but with no one other than family to monitor this it could be a circuit breaker for many.

  of course the fear of end times pestilence may counter that.

  Regular weekly congregation boasting sessions? I suppose field circus is also required, even if they pretend to suspend it. Great way to spread coronavirus through the whole territory.

  All you need is an "Internet blackout". Just when they are starting to watch you, simply disconnect the cable or turn off the router that provides your Internet. Another way around this is to navigate away from the page and visit another page. Or, you can shine a nice bright light directly into the camera (enough to wash out the whole picture). And, what happens if the camera is disconnected, de-activated, or obstructed?

  Unfortunately, Mercury is direct and will remain direct until June 18, so that will not be an excuse.

  limit watching the news regarding the virus look on jw.org and the gb will keep us informed (they know better than medical professionals).

  ministry suspended but use any opportunity to speak to people and give them a jw.org card(the virus still active on card).

  Look for the jokehovian site for advice? I didn't listen to that rubbish, but I looked for those videos and blatantly Satanic sources. Therein, they have been saying now that we should prepare for a 6 month period of lockdown, shortages, or a combination of both starting (in America) in April. I have been gradually increasing my stockpile, with that as a goal (I estimate I am around halfway there now).

  Never mind 6 months. The newspapers have been advocating a 2-week prep. I feel that will be woefully inadequate, but it is better than nothing. That means at least 42 meals' worth of food, plus whatever paper and cleaning supplies you reasonably expect to need. (And no, I do not advocate getting 50,000 rolls of toilet paper or 18,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to sell on eBay). As a rough guide, you will need at least 2,000 Calories per day (unless you are unusually active or petite). For the 2-week prep, you are looking at around 30,000 total Calories.

  To put this in perspective, you can get this with a few trips to the store. Cereal, cold or hot, usually means 4-5 standard size boxes (and no, I do not go by those 1 ounce standard serving sizes). You will also need 12-15 cans of vegetables and/or fruits, 5 pounds of rice and/or pasta, legumes (several 1 pound bags), a couple jars of peanut butter and a jar or two of whatever jam you prefer, bread or crackers (tortilla wraps will do fine), and at least 6 (5 ounce) cans of meat or seafood (this is so you can have meat 3 times per week). If you have family, you will need to adjust accordingly because additional people also need food.

  Now, if this is what the news is telling people to get for preps, what are the jokehovians doing? Yes, this means planning ahead (and I do recommend various spices and condiments in addition, since rice, pasta, and legumes without added sauces and spices can get boring). But, does the washtowel even advise anyone to do this? Or are they advocating trusting in joke-hova and donating all their money to those leeches at the top and donating all their time in Coronavirus Service instead of going to the store to get some of those items?

  Or, are the jokehovians going to be instantly up s*** creek without a paddle as soon as their state or city enters full lockdown or all the stores completely stop operating? How many of them have as much as an extra can of soup, an extra jar of peanut butter, or a box of crackers? I wonder if the hounders are going to round up all the food they can from the congregation and distribute it (along with their coronavirus) through the congregation.

  If you haven't already done so, now is the time (and getting quite late) to start. You might be lucky enough to find toilet paper--you will need to slowly stockpile it because of strict limits on how much you can get. As for food, you are wise to count calories in the store. This time, those calories are your friend, not the enemy (unless, that is, you are like double or triple your ideal weight). You are looking for a minimum of 2,000 calories per day for the basic situation (this will vary, especially if you are bulkier or smaller than normal). Protein grams also count--unless they are soy protein (which is bad). You will want at least 40 grams per day--for more active people, such as those stocking groceries, 70 is more appropriate.

  Are you hearing any of this from the washtowel? And remember, this is the lamestream media. The more Satanic sources have been pushing for a 6 month supply, and have been pushing for this since the end of January. And no, I have been planning ahead for fun, not austerity. Cookies, crackers, and spices are included because I want this to be more than austerity.

  Those trusting in joke-hova may think that thing will help them. But, I do not want to hear it from them in the middle of August or September telling me that they need whatever supplies I might still have. (Or in May, for that matter.) All they are getting from me is a lecture (in German) that they should have listened to, if not Satan Himself, at least the main news.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  ".

  There is no need to have it at all. Never mind wasting 45 minutes of time listening to a boring talk, wasting the electricity and data streaming it, and especially if you still have to attend the Coronavirus Hall to hear that boring talk. Emblems or none, it is still a complete waste. (Plus, if you have to go to the Coronavirus Hall, you risk getting coronavirus for nothing.)

  COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?

  by JWTom in

  my area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.

  the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.

  many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

  What they should have been doing is encouraging the jokehovians to, as individuals, stock up on household supplies and food for as long as they can afford to way back in January or early February. Not for Armageddon, for the coming shortages that are resulting from big companies restricting production and distribution of essential goods in the name of coronavirus. (And for the communism that will follow.) Also, they should have made it clear that any hounder or group of hounders that imposes communal supplies would be disfellowshipped on the spot for communism.

  But no, they carried on as usual. They kept on going to boasting sessions. They kept on going in field circus, wasting precious time and resources that could have been used to stock up. I am now hearing that it could well be 6 months to a year before it returns to anything that resembles normal, and that most likely it will end in total communism through the whole One World Totalitarian Government. RFID chips required through the whole globe. (The brain chip, not just the hand chip, at that.) No Internet, or at best a limited North Korea style internet. We will all be slaves, just like the greys. And they are encouraged to work relentlessly for that end instead of at least attempting to prepare?

  As for canceling field circus, that is just token. It is an unwritten rule that anyone that slacks off, missing boasting sessions at the Coronavirus Hall or opportunities to spread coronavirus through the whole territory, is "spiritually weak" and will be dealt with accordingly. This will lead to people going out spreading coronavirus through the whole territory, and to whole congregations, instead of spending these last few days and weeks trying to at least get a couple of extra jars of peanut butter or bags of rice or other grains. And, please donate your last funds to further this idiocy. If they can steal ice cream money from kids, they can for sure steal peanut butter money from families.

  If anything, instead of closing entertainment venues, they should just close all the churches and mosques (and synagogues, while they are at it) for this. Close down the bible and quran shops, while they are at it. Instead of bibles and qurans, we need food and cleaning supplies. I, for one, would rather have a can of Lysol or package of facial tissue or toilet paper than a whole truck load of bibles.

  One down, the rest of the congregation and the whole territory to go. This is what happens when they are stupid enough to require their members to continue going door to door during a pandemic. It takes one householder with the virus to infect one witless or a whole car group, who then spread it door to door. It also spreads through the whole Coronavirus Hall.

  And this goes for any religions that go door to door. It happened in South Korea, seeding a large cluster of the disease. And it will happen everywhere jokehovian witlesses continue their nefarious activity.

  Two or 3 weeks without boasting sessions? I hope it is a year, or two years--or longer as they realize that this religion has done plenty more harm and no good.

  And I can find plenty of other places to get whatever spiritual food (or poison, whatever you want) online. There is plenty of both--and there is always that filthy bible you can get your spiritual poison from even without the washtowel and asleep rags.

  As of March 16, 2020 the German Government has prohibited the gathering of all religious groups (Covid-19)

  google translation from the government website:.

  the federal government has agreed with the federal states on guidelines for a uniform approach to further restrict social contacts in public life.

  grocery retail, weekly markets and delivery services, pharmacies, drugstores, banks, petrol stations and wholesalers remain unaffected.

  I bet that they will play the guilt card. People that walk 20 miles each way, through dangerous jungles and crossing rivers that have crocodiles, followed by a lockout and a beating when they get home, that never miss a boasting session? So what is a little government interference when they have plenty of references in their filthy bible that xians continued under threat of death? They will continue working to subvert this ban (and spread coronavirus while they are at it).

  And I hope they get slammed for doing this. Going in field circus at a time like now is akin to drink driving. Would you drink and drive? At least drink drivers only kill where they crash. With this, who knows how far their coronavirus could spread, and how many could die long after the "crash".

  "Reach out to inactive ones."

  So they can give their coronavirus to those who haven't been to a boasting session for a while? I think that defeats the whole purpose of the arrangement, and I will simply and rudely refuse by telling them in German that their whole program is bogus.
