It's eerily quiet today on this forum about Trump...especially since it was his last day as President...are you Trumpsters doing okay with that?
It would have been nice if Trump, Melania & his kids would have been at the Biden inauguration today...or is it just as well that Trump & his entourage stayed away?

So are JWs told not to go on YouTube?

i was told on line that jws are now forbidden to go on youtube?

is that true or is it a case by case congregation thing?.

There's a weird paranoia between YouTube and the average JW!
It's not so much that JWs are being told to not visit YouTube as it is that JWs are not encouraged to visit YouTube. As an example...I've noticed that when I mention to other JWs of my frequency of watching YouTube videos in general...they have a tendency to change the subject. In other words...It's taboo to mention YouTube to a JW. The JW mindset is: "A JW who wants to remain in good standing wouldn't customarily view YouTube videos."

Covid lung damage worse than from heavy smoking
by FatFreek 2005 in

we've probably all heard it, "i wish i could get the covid and that way it would be behind me", as if it were some annoying rite of passage.

"sure, i'll lose my senses of smell and taste for awhile, i'll lose my strength for awhile", etc.. what else could be the reasoning for ignoring the social distancing to attend maskless parties and similar large group gatherings?.

however, looking at the following xray images of certain lungs may help impress some folks into thinking that there are more serious happenings in the attack progression of this virus.

I had a close friend pass away recently from respiratory complications related to covid19. His wife was saying that he normally could handle the flu year after year & bounce back. But this time complications set-in involving his lungs...and he ended-up dying very young. Another friend was infected early on last year with covid19...was in the hospital for about a month...to this day he hasn't recovered fully. This pandemic...covid19...or whatever the hale it is...you just can't take it lightly...it's made a believer out of many a freethinker and doubter.

It's Never Been Easier to Quit Being a JW!

just don't click that zoom button ....
JW GoneBad

Or don't inconvenience yourself, just don't answer or if you do, say "no thank you" and hang up.
It really is as simple as Simon says. I said to one elder after his repeated calls: "Don't call me...I'll call you" & that was after this elder asked if he & the CO could visit!🤣

Prediction: What Will Happen To Trump Now That Biden Will Be President?

i think he will have to deal with the attorney general of new york amongst other things.

i do think he will not simply go away quietly ..

Hope you don't mind minimus...just thought I'd have some fun this lazy Saturday morning with your previous post:
"The bottom line is Trump and company HATE PELOSI. They will do anything and everything to harm her. Their rhetoric has created this situation. They are responsible along with the news media for the division that exists in the country. People who support Pelosi look at the haters and recognize them for exactly what they represent."
It just seemed like you had the characters in your post reversed!😂

can anyone explain this to me??

Some of these individuals are Uber drivers who are in between lifts. It just may be they're being 'uber' careful after leaving someone off.

This quote from the letter bears repeating:
"As a reminder, the branch has directed that neither congregation nor circuit funds should be used to make relief supply purchases. Additionally, separate congregation or circuit accounts should not be set up to fund purchases."
The above statement pretty much sums-up Mother's greedy, cheap & close-fisted true feelings towards the JW rank & file members!
