  “I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)

  by slimboyfat in

  even if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.

  not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.

  survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

  Yes of course we need to stop this virus from spreading and find a possible cure but we also need to be rational, balanced and sensible about the matter, not over strung with fear and anxiety like we are JWS living in the year 1975.
  

  Over stressing people actually weakens your immune system, which might make the contact and receiving of the virus worse for people.

  Scientists are actually coming closer to a vaccination here in Canada and in China as well.

  Why the change?

  possible cancelling the memorial after years of experiences of bro/sis under nazi , communist oppression and many other countries still conducting the memorial under threat of death that the governing body is listening to the superior authorities regarding this virus pandemic.. could it be that after taking control of the k/halls that the branch/governing body would be responsible for any disobedience to the civil authorities and liable for any deaths.. they would have left upto the local body of elders and encouraged obedience to god rather than men and a lack of faith in jehovah to protect his people..

  Theologically speaking they do when they claim at Armageddon god will cast down balls of fire and destroy all who rejected him and did not worship him.

  Which by the JWS proclamations and teachings, that's about 99% of the world's population.
  

  The end of the world in a religoius sense, not the end of the world like the entire world is going to be completely destroyed.
  

  Its clearly identified as a fear mongering apocalyptic religious publishing house.

  But Jehovah would protect his chosen people from getting this virus anyway, particularly at a Kingdom Hall on memorial night
  

  Jehovah's holy spirit protects his faithful devoted ones.

  How religious cults are created and operate to create a base of devoted followers.(JWS)

  by Finkelstein in

  i found this video on youtube which correctly explains how religoius cults develop and operate on a psychological and sociological study.. while watching it think of the jws and its general operative behavior.. i think its important to realize many people who fall into cults are usually having some kind unstable problems in their lives looking for answers and relief, the jws are known to exploit people who are under going some personal strife and are venerable to that effect.

  True Sea Breeze , men like the JWS men have interpreted the bible toward their own means and self empowerment.

  Some of these false bible interpretations by the JWS have come from the pressing endeavor and intent of literature proliferation, perhaps not surprising since this organization has had a publishing house operating at its core from the very beginning..

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  This documentary reveals how the virus probably started and may have started originally in the open public market in Wuhan China.

  China and other countries need to shut down all wet markets like this and create strong laws against this kind of sale of animals.

  Transmission has been extremely rapid all over the world.

  Don't agree with that comment, its untrue to the facts people who have traveled aboard in the Asiatic region or have come in contact to those who have traveled are susceptible to catch the virus.

  For example to date Canada has had only 176 cases in a population of 37 million.

  These are documented cases not deaths .

  The there is no qestion this can be a deadly virus for some unfortunate few but the wide spread contagious action is not there, not at least in numbers now.

  It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple of weeks .

  This year we will celebrating the memorial on April 7 , we are requesting all attendees to wear complete protective clothing during the event, this includes all men, woman and children.

  Only the ones who are partaking should remove their respirators and quickly sip the wine and eat the bread.

  To all who attend it will be a joyous spiritually uplifting event sure to please Jah and his son Jesus Christ..

  This is in harmony with Proverbs 22:3, which says:

  “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself".

  Yes this no doubt correctly relates to contagious viruses, those ancient Hebrews were so smart.

  it is best to obey these “superior authorities.” (Rom. 13:1)

  Why didn't they obey the superior authorities when they found child sexaul abuse happening in the congregations ?, child sexual abuse is illegal and a serious crime in most countries.
