I don't trust communist governments that slaughter those who try exposing the truth. This is as true for the jokehovian witlesses that add to their reports as it is for governments that do not test for the disease or even tell the truth about how many new cases there really are. It would cost them money and prestige if people knew the truth about China, as much as it would if people knew the truth about how many publishers there really are within the jokehovians.

As far as boycotting China, I am one that would be more likely to do that in response to them lying than in response to having 200 million cases of coronavirus. If they had 200 million cases and were forthcoming about it, that would be "bad luck". If they have 200 million cases and lie about it, that is one more reason to boycott Chinese products when possible. Already, I stay away from poorly made products, preferring top quality at full price instead of cheap rubbish. And I last shopped Walmart for sun-worship decorations in 2009, getting nothing because of the abominable lousy selection and quality. I haven't set foot in that place since then.

At least here, there is a halfway decent chance that they are somewhere near the truth. Yes, they still miss cases because of bad tests or someone with coronavirus thinks they just have a cold and doesn't bother getting tested. But, at least they are half trying. That is more than can be said about China, who slaughtered those who tried to tell the truth.

Seems the truth is offensive to those depending on lies.

Covid 19, is this the WT new push to bring back ex JW's before the end of the system?

by William Penwell in

not sure if this was covered as i could not find anything on it but talking to my son he tells me one of the gb had a talk telling them this is a sign of the last days.

have the jw's being pressured into talking to relatives and friends to bring them back into the fold before the end of the system blah blah blah?

the reason why i ask is my son was saying his mother has being on his case the last few weeks and then two days ago i got a telephone message from my sister, that hasn't spoke to me in 4 years, asking how i am doing.

My message to any hounder who wants to reactivate me: Are you willing to learn enough German so you can understand the answers I give? That is all the more likely the more of those German files I get to read--each German letter I find helps me with this. I doubt any of the hounders do any of that.

How Do You Get Most Of Your News?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i read a lot on online.

i regularly read fox news, the drudge report the new york post and local newspapers and local newscasts.

where do you get most of your news from?.

WTWizard

I check both Microsoft news page and various sources such as YouTube and Natural News. None are perfect--Microsoft is biased toward the Establishment, while YouTube is subject to misinformation due to people coming to the wrong conclusion. But at least I can learn to see through the mistakes (many YouTube videos) and lies (the Establishment) and find the truth, to more or less degree.

WT study April 5 - how uplifting! How happifying! How encouraging!

by sir82 in

for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.

paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.

paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

WTWizard

I will not even have the Zoom camera turned on at all. It isn't even going to be plugged into my computer or a power outlet, since I refuse to waste the electricity having them prying into my life. And, if they come to my door for any reason, they can expect an explanation in German (which I doubt any will understand) why I will not submit to this waste of time.

Governor Cuomo - Does He Have a Flash Drive Plugged into His Head?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

like the guy or not, i don't know how this guy can talk so much, giving fact after fact and analyze what is going on, not just in new york but across the country.

he's not reading from notes and there are no teleprompters.

he gives about an hour to an hour and a half at press conferences every day and fox news carries it.. i mean, as i am listening, he's saying they moved 802 ventilators from this state to that state, 412 came here to new york .... on and on.

WTWizard

This incompetent piece of trash is not the governor I would have voted for. First, this thing still has e-bikes outlawed in New York State, despite passing both houses by huge amounts, because of a political argument. If this thing cannot put personal beefs aside and do its job, it needs to be fired. And now, this monster has chloroquine banned in New York State for coronavirus? I hope he comes down with coronavirus, and doesn't get the chloroquine OR a ventilator when it needs one, because with this type of tyranny in the state, this monster doesn't deserve it.

How will the GB respond to the new treatment for COVID-19?

by careful in

one new cutting-edge attempt to deal with the novel coronavirus is to take plasma from those who have had covid-19, recovered, and have the natural antibodies against it, and then put those antibodies in victims who have the virus and need help.. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/03/826638981/hospitals-universities-push-for-treatment-using-plasma-from-recovered-covid-pati.

isn't taking plasma one of the the no-nos according to wts doctrine?does anyone see "new light" on the horizon in this matter that would allow the faithful sheep to accept such treatment?.

As with all science, they will ban it until they have the chance to totally corrupt it to render it useless. Blood and its fractions do carry risks, of HIV and hepatitis as well as compatibility issues. But, if the alternative is you die, it might be worth the risk. And the washtowel will impose guilt trips, even if they do not outright ban this. Naturally, they also lack things like supplements and social distancing (door to door, anyone?) that might throttle the virus enough to prevent the need for this potentially dangerous treatment in the first place (exposure to tiny amounts of the virus, plus decent supplements, could be as effective as vaccination in preventing major illness).

Speaking of vaccinations, they can work--if properly implemented. But I will not take any vaccinations that are created by big conglomerates that answer to some holding company or the reptilians that want this earth and our souls for themselves. Vaccines that contain mercury, formaldehyde, and other dangerous chemicals have no place in my body--and especially if they are mandatory (another sign that they are going to damage the body and soul). The only "vaccine" I need (aside my supplements) is controlled tiny exposures to the virus. This allows my immune system to respond before any infection can take place, while building immunity so that, when I get a full on exposure, it won't infect me either. That is what vaccines are supposed to do--not inflict brain damage.

Isn't It Ironic That Many People Now Wish That Many of the Things China is Making Would Actually Be Made in Mexico?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

let me think of a few advantages to having mexico do more manufacturing for us:.

- low cost labor .

- just drive around or jump over the wall to see family and friends.

WTWizard

First, why not just make things right here in the US? I would like to see the majority of things made in the same country that they are used in, by independent companies that do not have to answer to some giant holding company or to the reptilians that are ruining our planet. It would be nice to also see Canada and Mexico making their share of items. Obviously, I am in favor of respecting the environment (and not with some fake information that is solely intended to deprive people of a decent life).

Even so, trade with other countries is unavoidable. I would be willing to spend more on a high quality computer made in Germany or New Zealand by a small company that is not dependent on The Establishment. I would also be willing to buy vitamins that are made in Europe or Australia, not bound to our corrupt FDA, and that actually help solve or prevent problems. It's just that I do not want everything to be made in China or Israel, or be forced to buy things made there for political correctness reasons that have nothing to do with quality and price advantages.

As for China, I have been trying to stay away from cheap garbage made there for reasons having nothing to do with this. I do not want to pollute the landfills with items that continually break or fail to do their jobs, just because the big company's parents decided to have their items cheaply made in China. General Electric is one of the worst--they used to make light bulbs right here, but all their fire-starter CFL eye-killer bulbs these days are made in China. And I think that, where it is reasonable, one should avoid Walmart like it is Coronavirus Deluxe. (Where if you get it, you die a miserable death.) They are a classic example of a company that went from buying American and proud of it to underhandedly outsourcing things to China and enforcing lousy quality. (Obviously, if this abomination is or becomes the only option, you will have to shop there--just don't shop there to save a few pennies on junk that will break in a month or so).

Use the money you otherwise would have wasted on this for donations? And I suppose that, next year, they will have to donate that amount of money in addition to wasting it on the Grand Boasting Session?

My response: Banning all donations to this filthy organization. You are probably hurting for money right now, unless you are working in "essential services". And even if you are working in "essential services", you never know when you are going to get hit with a big medical bill due to coronavirus complications (whether direct or not). You need the money to pay your own bills. You need the money for food and possibly medicine. You may need the money for supplements to throttle the infection. What right does the washtowel have to steal it?

Even if you are financially secure and have plenty to waste, why not put it aside? Invest in hard assets if you are in a position to do so (right now, there is a silver shortage--even at a $14 spot, rolls of silver quarters are priced more in line with a $20-25 spot). Whether or not you dare to gamble by buying stocks that are beat-up or leave money in the bank, putting it somewhere is a good idea. Do you have, for instance, enough food to last for 6 months of political instability or communism? Probably you lack enough for a 2 week quarantine, let alone for a 6 month shortage or official rationing. With whatever money you would have wasted on this wastefest, start buying whatever supplies you can to fix this (obviously, if you are under purchase limits, you need to respect them but you can order stuff online).

And, if this passes and you are left with substantial cash on hand (physical or digital), you can always spend or invest it later. You can use that money to take that vacation--which could well be the last one before the permanent lockdown under full communism. You can use it to treat yourself to a luxury--perhaps upgrading your computer, perhaps buying new furniture or new toys, perhaps getting that music downloaded that you couldn't afford to before. Maybe even a few new video games--of course, I do not recommend video games where you have to pay for the console and the game AND pay to play your own games. But, you might be able to pick up a Nintendo New 3DS and 15 or 20 games for a good price, now that the system is obsolete.

Or, you can disregard this and obey the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger by wasting the money promoting global communism. You will regret that decision when the consequences of catching coronavirus and being without food, or a more serious lockdown for communism comes and you lack food and entertainment.

What do you think of the ransom as proof of Jehovah's love?

by AlainAlam in

consider these excerpts from the bible and the publications:.

“no one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his life in behalf of his friends” (joh 15:13).

“for hardly would anyone die for a righteous man; though perhaps for a good man someone may dare to die.

What does this have to do with me? Nothing. There is not one iota of marginal cost to this "sacrifice" for me. Joke-hova did not do this for each individual--it did it for the first individual, after which the marginal cost is zero. Of course, the marginal benefit to the recipients is minus infinity. Global enslavement under the worst possible conditions is worse than getting destroyed at Armageddon.
