Personally I don't believe for a min, that the society did not believe or knew they were wrong on the dates set. If it was a pure Joel Osteen scam they would have set the dates past their sell by dates. they did not. In many cases it was only a few years in the future. Franze and Russell I think were total believers in their own ideology. Rutherford I believe also believed in his 1925 dates. It just makes no sense to put the dates so close and know its gong to fail. I believe that this is a good example of the leaders drinking the same koolaid they are giving the rank and file.

It seems according to this doctor that there was always a cure for Covid 19
by pistolpete inthe media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.
have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.
there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.

There never has been and most likely never will be a cure for any virus. A vaccine is one thing a cure is another.

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
by minimus inthey have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

coffy IMO there are no good Muslims. The religion is like saying well this Manson girl is not so bad. Its not the people its the religion. Islam IMO is an evil religion. China has the will and authority to stop the problem before it happens. They don't have Illhan Omars and Talibs calling for the destruction of China and remaking it from the floor of the National Peoples Congress. I don't see Muslims flying planes into their buildings as they know and see the threat. Sorry facts are facts.

I did see in a couple of congregations I was in that the JWs who had businesses would hire the older JWs who did not prepare for retirement. In one case an old drywall hanger who could not hang anymore a builder JW hired him to paint. He was slow not due to being lazy but he was very old in his 80s. It was a pity job.

I don't see the world joining forces to attack religion. Places like India and the Middle East and Israel will never IMO attack their religions. Some Gov. are attacking some religions like Russia in the JWs case and China in the case of Muslims which I support.

California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years
by mickbobcat inthis will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

They have been working on fuel cells and other technology for over 50 years. We are no closer to finding this silver bullet than we were then. The so called Green energy bunch has lowered themselves to using so called bio fuel. Bio fuel is nothing more than burning trees and other things like garbage and rail road ties. They call this bio fuel green. This is what they slip in over in places like Germany and other countries and then tell peopel they are at 60 percent renewals. Its a joke. This is a fuel dump of a biomass energy plant called green. I guess liberals don't know that coal is nothing but vegetation converted over time and pressure.
