  There will be a sliver lining to the virus

  so for years the usa has been relying on cheap labor in china.

  supply lines were never interrupted.

  china has gotten away with murder in its sending anything it wants with little checking of its goods.

  Just to reiterate what Cofty said on this thread and its important.....

  China will need to eradicate their disgusting wet markets and join us in 21st century hygiene standards.

  Yes absolutely the rest of the world's countries should be strongly pushing for restrictive controls for businesses like wet shops that sell live animals of various kinds who were caught wild and sold for either food, medicinal purposes or pets.

  Lets assume that it was just one single shop like this in the open market place in Wuhan that started this virus, add the total lives lost, the damage to the world's economy and it makes for something quite clear .

  I think at this point people are starting to take it seriously, with a lot of sporting events stopped, some school districts closed, some businesses are temporally closing, the business sector retracting, Wall Street taking a down turn..

  Mind you I dont think we should lock are selves up in are homes like caged animals.

  Keep the fear in check is what I'm saying, this isn't the Bubonic plague of the 14th century.
  

  I do think we should take caution of where and what we do in are daily lives, keep active such going to a park, perhaps start a new hobby at home, but we should have a sensible approach to the matter such as washing are hands and face 4 or 5 times a day when we are out in public places like shopping malls, places of work and other social gatherings.

  This is what happens when poorly educated people get contact with a fear mongering bullshit religoius publishing house like the Watchtower Corporation/JWorg.

  The propagation of fear is what the WTS uses to stimulate the distribution of its own published literature.

  People who aren't educated enough will actually be susceptible to this supposedly supported by the basic belief in the bible .

  That in itself creates irrational nonsensical thinking rooted in ignorance for in reality the bible writings are full of fictional mythology.

  One thought to keep in mind, J Rutherford proclaimed himself to one the anointed as many of his close associates at the Watchtower Corporation.

  He built an luxury home for himself to live in and did so, while separated from his wife he lived with his mistress, driving around in the most expensive cars at the time, bought and drank illegal booze and lived like a rich celebrity.
  

  Does that sound like someone who is full of righteousness as an anointed one ?

  I grow self-conscious. It's like standing before a parent who disapproves.

  I'm the opposite when I'm confronted by a JWS I think to myself what stupid ignorant twit they are in membership of a lying corrupt fraud of an organization and I'm supposed to respect them, never have, never will.

  Why did you have so many jobs???

  why did i have so many jobs?.

  i became a velcro salesman, but i couldn't stick with it.and besides - it was a ripoff.. i tried my hand at a career in tennis, but it wasn't my racket and i was too high strung.. i was a masseur for a while, but i seemed to rub people the wrong way.next i got a job at a pool company, but the work was too draining.then?i was a historian, but i couldn't see a future in it.i took a job as an elevator operator—the job had its ups and downs, and i got the shaft.. i became a banker, but i had an affair with boss's wife because she promised to hold my interest right up to the moment of withdrawal.. i just lost my job as a psychic.

  i did not see that coming.if a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.. i quit my job working for nike.

  Do you think any of the GB have different beliefs?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think any higher ups know that much of the doctrine they teach is bunk?

  thinking back to the time of raymond franz, how he pointed out specifically numerous teachings that the churches really did have right all along, and really any of the hidden mic apostacy trials you listen to on youtube, you see that even when inconvenient bible teachings are proven, the elders just try to sweep it under the rug and move on.

  i think i remember franz saying how one of the gb approached him somewhat sympathetically, but there was nothing he could do.. whether you believe in the bible or not, there are some basic beliefs common among most denominations because they're just so plainly stated, such things as heavenly life for all christians, no central authority structure, minimal use of god's name, etc.

  There's probably a variance between them all about how much the set doctrines are bullshit , just like many of the JWS out there.

  For example people like Lett probably think there's very little where people like Morris or Splane probably there is a more.

  Of course this is internally kept to themselves, all are nevertheless willing to support everything to the fullest as means to keep the framework of the organization in tact..

  That's all there ever was to being a Jehovah's Witness

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses weren't jehovah's witnesses until 1931.until that year the people who had been hard-headed followers of end times false prophecies by william miller and seventh day adventists, more or less settled into following charisma-ballyhoo preaching by folks like "pastor" c.t.

  russell.what was it that attracts these people?

  it is a thin veneer of pious bible interpretation as a means of prepping for the end of the world.yep.

  Wagering on fictional mythology to be true and factual is never a good bet or a idea.
