  Resurrection, Reconstruction? What is it? It never made sense to me. Your opinion.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  i never had much faith in whatever resurrection was.

  what appealed to me about jw doctrines was the rejection of the "it's a mystery" defense of the indefensible.

  when i would ask how going into non existence could be reversed when all the atomic parts of who we are had been scattered for thousands of years, the answer was "jehovah can do anything".

  If you deeply think about resurrection of all of humanity while no one dies for a 1000 years is irrational and physically impossible.
  

  Its a nice ideological dream though, the kind of dream some ancients may have thought up for their gods to accomplish for their devoted worshipers.

  Now we just have to find some supernatural gods to do it.

  For now we are on are own.

  i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.

  will restaurants ever get filled again?

  will you ever be able to sit at a bar or go to a concert or broadway show?.

  Yes certainly so if there is vaccine developed which would block out any reoccurring infections.

  Until that happens we have to play it cautiously safe.

  There is the potential for humanity it built up immunity to the virus on its own which could make infections eventually rare .

  Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

  i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

  after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

  this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

  Covid-19 death rate

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. current

  worldwide numbers – 13%.

  deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

  deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

  One of the crippling things that happened about this contagious virus was that China was wasn't being openly honest to its effects toward the rest of the world's population, particularly to people who had traveled to Wuhan and there abouts.

  That oppressive lack of information resulted in a lot of unpreparedness and accumulated amount of deaths to many countries.

  The world wide ignorance about this virus was factually apparent, since its outbreak we've learned a lot in the past 3 months .

  The long extenuating comments to this thread some 19 years ago is indicative to how people are subjectively enforced and mentally controlled to show their loyalty to Jehovah, through the JWS organization.

  Yet it is now known and accepted that this Publishing organization (WTS) has been deeply corrupt and devious in its operations and doctrines over the years.
  

  Hardly no care or attention into examining what is being said from a biblical theological viewpoint or otherwise.

  Truly a brainwashing cult in action.

  Jdubs are going to love this they can turn the convention on and just let it play while doing others things.

  No need to travel and stay in a hotel or motel, cost and inconvenience factor.

  Sleep in your own bed etc.

  Not having to sit in uncomfortable seats for hours on end or sit in the hot sun in out door conventions.
  

  Its all good .

  Lying corrupt charlatanism done over the inter net at home .....easy peazy

  So then governments would have better off to withhold restrictions after they observed how many people had builtin anti bodies or who could repel the virus if they did get effected ?

  Keep in mind that it was being observed just how deadly this virus could be by the fact that people such as the doctor who tried to warn the Chinese government about the virus died from it himself.

  The early observations from the start was that this virus was indeed deadly .
