How are you spending your lockdown time?

by pale.emperor in

how is everybody spending their lockdown time?.

i've been furloughed from work (forced "annual leave" with pay which doesn't affect my regular annual leave) for the past 2 months so i've had lots of time free to do whatever.. i've spent the time productively by doing all those things i've said i'd get round to doing "one day":.

learning french.

Working--business as usual. I work at a supermarket (essential business), so there was no closure for the virus. And I only lost one day for the riots--the whole county closed totally for that. No closing down for someone getting sick, no two week quarantine or lockdown, no nothing.

And I have been prepping for that eventuality, and not just recently. In 2019, I got myself a Nintendo New 3DS (many games only play on the new model, not the original of which I got two for Pokemon) along with some 20 more games for it. I got prepped with hand tools (just in case I needed to do repair work), including making sure I had all the tools to fix my bicycle. I have a number of books in German, so I can get better at that while providing some entertainment. (Some of which I started getting in 2018.) I got numerous other entertainment items--trying to reconnect with times long before becoming a jokehovian witless. I got numerous coins in high grades (common date, high grade Seated Liberty dimes and quarters, a large cent, an Indian cent in AU condition, Shield and Liberty nickels in VF condition, a nickel 3 cent piece in XF, a two cent piece in VF, and even a Morgan silver dollar in AU.

On top of that, I have plenty of regular "junk(??)" silver ("junk" being jargon for common date silver coins in average circulated condition) to go through. Plus, two rolls of common dated Indian cents (unfortunately, all but two out of 100 dated in the 1890s and 1900s, with the other two in the late 1880s and none in the 1860s or 1870s). And, to really connect with better times (or waste some 500 toilet papers trying, before the dollar completely becomes toilet paper), a 1909-S Indian cent in VF condition on order. Plus, I have one great big tub of wheat pennies in what would have been "average circulated" back in the 1970s.

All that, and we can't even get a two week store closure because someone was suspected of having coronavirus.

Emergency COVID Ration Spam Fritters

by Simon in

so as things are now opening up and food never ran out, i've been dipping into our emergency supplies.

they say that spam doesn't have a shelf-life, it has a half-life, but i kind of wanted to see if it was like i remembered as a kid.. as it turns out spam fritters are as delicious as i remember, probably better ('cause i did fancy ones).

i used this recipe and they were glorious.

I am not getting complacent because I am seeing certain items showing up on the store shelves again. All it takes is one shutdown in one plant, whether justified or not, to make even worse shortages appear without further warning. It takes one incident of horseplay at a packing plant, where someone dies and is falsely labeled "coronavirus", to do something like this. And then there are scalpers--those who buy out whole lots of items and sell them at grossly inflated prices or just to create shortages for everyone else.

Not to mention government agencies. The likes of the FDA, USDA, FTC, and so on are not our friends but the friends of the drug companies that want to profit off our misery and artificially shortened lifespans (and of the reptilians that gloat about shaving 90% off our lifespans). These agencies can and will shut down anyone that tries bypassing the big companies, ensuring that what would have been a shortage of your favorite brand becomes a full famine. And, more riots (or disappearing of our rights, especially of white people that seem to be most hated these days) could lead to more supply disruptions that could lead to famine.

Yes, it is nice to see items back on store shelves. It is nice to see facial tissue, toilet paper, bleach, hand sanitizer, and so on back (even if it is not your favorite brand or pack size). But, I refuse to become complacent--not to mention, what happens when we get mandatory vaccinations (whether or not they work) with RFID chip requirements to verify that you have your shot as a condition before they let people stop wearing those stupid masks. (And even then they might spitefully keep the mask and "social(??)" distancing rules in place, forever, even merging them as part of the Noahide Laws of obeying your lords).

CO'S "encouraging" letter to circuit

by nowwhat? in

the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.

disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.

he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.

WTWizard

"What about poor old jehovah?"

What about that thing? The whole pandemic is joke-hova's fault in the first place, as is the excessive reaction to it. Why shouldn't joke-hova have to suffer the consequences?

Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.

you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.

would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

WTWizard

Political correctness is going to have this whole planet made into a boring place. Everything is going to be gone, save for the reptilians that are moving in on us. Everything offends someone. And what about my being offended by the bible? Especially that the bible is used as guidance, and is taken for law. Or by Noahide Law? Do I get an exemption from mandatory church or mandatory obedience to that stupid set of laws because I am offended by communism?

There is only one good reason to remove a monument, and it is not because someone is offended. If it is worn down so it is in bad condition, by all means remove it--especially if it is beyond repair or the land it is on is no longer in good condition to support it. Otherwise, let them stand. Even those highly offensive ones--they are either a lesson on what not to do, or stand for a failed effort at bettering mankind. Either way, they should be allowed to stand. If they offend someone, the offended need not visit them or support them.

Or, is it that people are offended because others have access to their past and their destiny and these offended people want people to be forever lost?

What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?

by Simon in

friends

so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

WTWizard

For me, I have one question. What lockdown? I work at an "essential business", and had to work straight through it. Not even a 2 week quarantine caused by someone coming in with a false temperature reading of something like 100.5 (F). (That goes to show what a piece of rubbish the i"Health(??)" thermometer is--rubber stamping 97.1 nearly every time, if it works at all).

And I have prepared for such a lockdown. We have plenty of supermarkets open, albeit with limits on purchases of many items. I have my Nintendo 3DS, along with more than 20 different video games (in addition to many Pokemon games). I have quite a few videos, books on mazes, books to learn German, science school textbooks, a book on algebra and one on geometry (so I can brush up on my math and science), plenty of music, quite a few collection coins along with literally thousands of investment silver coins, and plenty of tools to work on my bicycle. And that's on top of the Internet.

I did, however, have time to give a bad review for the i"Health(??)" thermometer. I do not recommend it, since I have had plenty of time where I took my temperature with a Sunphor BZ-R6 thermometer before riding my bicycle to work. The temperature was usually around 36.5 to 36.8 C (I set it to metric). Then, when I get to work, the i"Health(??)" said around 91, if it worked at all (it was closer to 98). After riding a bicycle in warm, muggy weather. Any thermometer that is off by this much, and in the wrong direction (working out makes you warmer, not colder), is not only useless but dangerous. I could have a 101 temperature and get a 97.1 rubber stamp, work, spread coronavirus through the store, and some elderly person gets it and dies. All because the stupid thermometer did not do its job.

“White Privilege”

by minimus in

jw
friends

lately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!

i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.

in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

WTWizard

It is the Agenda. Make one race totally defenseless, use another to destroy the first, and then come in and enslave everyone. And, since "white is trash" is what's politically correct, anyone that goes against it is beaten up and threatened by black people that have been programmed to do this. All toward making us all into greys.

Anyone that really thinks black lives matter should question what about Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey. Why do these people's teachings remain buried? Hint: They tried improving the black race, instead of making them into parasites that are destroying the white race. And both were black.

What did Russell and the Bible students say about racism?

by Fadeaway1962 in

featured on jworg , what does the bible say about racism?

.

and a video , johny and gideon: once enemies, now brothers , two men from south africa.. what did russell and rutherford have to say about racism in the congregations ?.

WTWizard

They never seek the truth. They seek political correctness, instead. And it is political correctness that is going to allow the Establishment to make greys out of us, without resistance. Back then, they believed that blacks were scum and entitled to nothing more than slavery (not being left alone in their own continent). Now, they believe that whites are scum for their past (similar to Genesis account on original sin), and that white people need to be eliminated. Neither is factual correctness, but it is political correctness that counts.

As I noted before about black people cannot change their race by voting against Biden for incompetence, they cannot be made white with their religion. Even someone like Michael Jackson, who was racially black from birth to death despite his skin lightening, cannot change races. Even albino blacks, who have extremely white skin, hair, and eye color due to their albinism, are still in the black race. There is simply no way that joke-hova is going to change that. And, for that matter, white people cannot become brown or black simply by "identifying" with another race. Tough for you, Lizard Warren for trying to be brown simply by claiming to be a Native American (or, whatever the politically correct term is at the moment).

And why is such necessary? Political correctness, that's why. It is politically incorrect to accept whites these days, just as it was to accept blacks back in the early 20th century. A pure black society uncorrupted by these stupid religions and plunder missions is not the thug culture, and a pure white culture not ruined by the church is not a "jesus saves" political correct mess. Political correctness, not the original race, is what is really something to be ashamed of.

How Do JWs View The Bible?

by Vanderhoven7 in

here are some questions to ask visiting jws to help them realize their faith is not in the bible, but in men.. questions about how you view the bible.. 1. do you view the bible as the inspired word of god?

(ii tim.3:16).

2. do you believe the bible is written for everyone?

WTWizard

All hypocrisy. They claim to abide by the whole bible, they claim a monopoly on such. Yet, the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger has a rule that you must abide by and teach a doctrine despite being able to prove it wrong using their own bible, until they themselves alter it. Which is it, the bible or the bad doctrine?

OK, so I don't abide by the bible either. But at least I make no claim to abide by that filthy book, nor do I claim to have the absolute truth that has been suppressed for so long that it may be impossible to find again. (Let alone before we all get RFID chipped, along with the coronavirus vaccine that will be worthless, without any protest because protest will all be illegal thanks to antifa). As I see it, it is the fact they claim to adhere to the bible and then they demand people to teach doctrines that contradict it that is objectionable.

More on SARS-CoV-2

below is a link to a peer reviewed paper by virologists and vaccine experts birger sørensen and angus dalgleish.

according to the study, which was published in the quarterly review of biophysics, the coronavirus’s spike protein contains sequences that appear to be artificially inserted.

to my knowledge, this is the first solid piece of evidence that this pandemic may have been man-made.. (emphasis on "may" --i'm sure this is not the last word on the subject).

One thing that is still legal to do, for now at least, is to boycott Chinese products to the extent possible. If you must get Chinese products, at least get stuff that is as good as you can find and afford, so you will in the long run spend less on those products. Especially boycott Chinese junk. In the long run, you will save money and help the environment. If you are from Europe or the Americas, buy either American or European stuff. I would rather, at this point, get stuff made in Japan, New Zealand, or Germany that is of higher quality, even at double cost, than buying Chinese junk.

While you are at it, I would boycott China's biggest trade partner--Walmart. Even if you still get something made in China, hurting walmart is going to sting China as well. Get better made products at independent small and mid-size businesses made by small or mid-size companies. Imported from Germany or Switzerland usually means better quality than from China. And, if you get something from a store that is more interested in top quality at full price than cheap junk, even if it still comes from China, you are going to end up spending less on Chinese merchandise in the long run. And you will get better products while you are at it, keeping much trash out of the landfill while you are at it.

And take care of what you already have. If you can make something last longer by properly taking care of it, you also cut how much you spend on Chinese junk. Even if you can't get it down to zero, it is helping. Plus you save money and help keep stuff out of the landfills.

Would You Like To See Your Police Departments “Defunded”?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you think it’s a good idea?.

WTWizard

Not unless I want crime to get out of control. It is true that there are some bad cops out there--and that includes those that make arrests for petty issues or give speeding tickets for 1 km above the speed limit in conditions where everyone else is doing 15 or 20 above. There are also racist cops--and that is in both directions. Of course, you are never going to hear about the black cops that arrest and brutalize white suspects that are merely minding their own business--while letting black people get away with serious offenses.

But, aside from getting rid of the obvious tyrants, they need to keep the police around so that real crime can be dealt with properly. Do you wish to not be able to do anything about your home getting burgled, especially if you are not allowed to own and use firearms as conditions warrant? And, what about those idiots that choose to drink and drive? No police makes it safer, in terms of getting caught, to drink and drive and put everyone else on the roads in danger. Yes, it might be fun to drive 75 on a 55 (that should have been 70 or more) without worrying about a speeding ticket. But, is it worth getting sideswiped by a drink driver going through a stop sign or red light?

And I think the media is at fault. One black suspect killed by one or more white cops is news, and obviously riot worthy. But, what the media won't tell you is that the "unarmed" black suspect threatened the cop(s), or that it was a potentially dangerous situation and that such force was justified. No--they only tell about a "racist white cop" shooting down an unarmed black suspect--who may be wanted for something like armed robbery or serious assault.

The education (indoctrination) system is also part at fault. Anywhere you see black students, you get a few that claim that it is "acting too white" if anyone actually takes their education seriously. That has to go. Also, history is full of lies--why use the excuse of past slavery to go after white people? This is no better than that bible that claims that the whole human race is indebted for a single act. Do we need to have white people go extinct because a few owned slaves, and many of them because they were worried that they would otherwise be owned by far harsher owners?

All of which creates more bias (real bias, not just treating certain people more harshly for the same actions) in violent crime. A system that is designed to make certain groups poorer and blame it on other groups is going to result in those underprivileged groups doing more violence. They feel entitled to reparations. The only "reparation" that needs to be done is to have actions being treated according to the actions, not what group(s) the perpetrators belong to or do not belong to. This means that if you threaten a police officer, you are probably going to get shot regardless. If you try race baiting, and I don't care if you are Google or NBC Fake News, you are going to get shut down by force.

The alternative is to have the mob ruling. This only leads to a few tyrants enslaving everyone else, and instead of "black versus white", you get the worst ruling everyone else. You say anything bad about them, you get the whole mob going after you. And they are going to be far more violent than any cops ever would be.
