  How much will Life Change after its all over?

  by Slidin Fast in

  this period of crisis seems endless and absolutely weird but end it will.. in the mean-time people are working successfully from home, the skies have cleared, international meetings are held on line.

  lots of frustrating commuter journeys are just not necessary.

  the world is cleaning itself almost visibly in days, the skies are clearing.

  Sport too. Can we live without it? I think so.
  

  Never trust a man that doesn’t love sport

  I'm interested in discussing basic JW doctrines that you believe are unscriptural

  background info: although i'm an apostate, i don't hate jehovah's witnesses, or the organization itself.

  actually i find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased.

  i think most of them are amazing people, and i wish more non-witnesses were like them.

  Also, many here a shunned by the JWs simply for not believing in the rubbish any longer. Not just the odd JW, but systemic shunning from lifelong childhood friends, shunned from your own parents or children.

  I’d be careful about announcing them as special

  good day former jdubs, i'm a new member, particularly looking for it experts whome can verify if the jw apps track its members and record audio, particularly the khonf app.

  if you download app on google play store and click the headphones, a pop up requiring user to click pop up to enable audio recording is displayed.

  i'm minorly aware of the evolution of tech and tracking scandals.

  I think you should assume that any company tracks as much about you as they can and the platform allows, because that data is valuable to them to make decisions about their services and possibly to others in ways you may not imagine
  

  .. is the data for sale? Maybe it’s not supposed to be, but we know how the world works

  back-up power: dieser diesel generator.
  

  Obviously, I have two diesel motor vehicles and a tractor that runs diesel, so I’m buying gallons of the shit anyway, but haven’t needed to run a generator for power.

  I’ve got no moral problem with burning fuel, if you see me driving it’s obvious.

  The thing with renewables, and I could go on but I won’t, is that our state and federal governments invented botch schemes, miserable failures that are screwing everyone over, we all pay more and it does nothing whatsoever for the environment.

  Now they are busy inventing schemes to fix the covid19 crisis, god help us all

  I bought acreage and it had no power or services. Energex, my state power supply could bring power for 80-100k. There were 3-4 property owners that would potentially use the power, so that 100k would be dived between us all, but only one other owner was keen to pitch in.
  After researching I went with an off grid solar system, and I’m very glad I did. Not cheap, but for 40k, I’ve got a stand alone system and it’s all ready survived storms, one major one that saw thousands of people in my district without power, so it’s more reliable than grid for myself. I had cricket ball sized hail land on my panels and they survived 100% in tact, it produces more than enough power to run a family home daily my batteries stay pretty full constantly.
  I’m no greenie but it is seriously the best thing I’ve ever done

  I don’t think the Spanish flu is a corona, it’s influenza style.

  The covid19 has symptoms more in line with a rhinovirus which is the common cold.

  About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  unleavened bread has no yeast in it.

  and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?

  not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

  You can’t call that rubbish bread, it’s a biscuit at best.. so it’s basically a shit biscuit

  i was wondering about that half-table/half-podium thing that jw's use on the platform.

  is that unique to jw's & do they build them, like shakers had their own furniture?.

  My D.I.L. Works in a Pharmacy and gets abused by stupid people.

  by smiddy3 in

  hi friends ,my d.i.l.

  works in a pharmacy and looks after people who needs prescriptions and advice on health care products that patrons need .and the sad thing is with this covid19 virus seems to be bringing out the worst in too many people as more often than not she is getting abused and challenged for wearing what she and her workmates have to keep themselves and the public free from this virus.. there are notices all around the store telling people that they are out of certain items and cant supply them such as hand sanitizers ,face masks ,gloves ,personal disinfectant wipes etc,etc.and she gets abused because she has gloves on ,has a face mask on ,and has hand sanitizer that she can use and the customer says something like you have it why cant i get it ?.

  in an abusive and challenging way and its getting her down.. she is getting tired of trying to tell the public she is their to help them and if she and her co-workers get sick the shop will close and nobody will get the help they need.. also they don`t respect the distance they need to keep from each other they lean over the counter with there hands touching everything trying to get in her face complaining.not only do they not appreciate they should only be in the store to get what they need and then get out ,they just treat it like any other normal day and browse around the shop picking up any and everything then putting it down again and buying items that are not necessary for their day to day existence .. i feel very sorry for her and all of the people doing like minded work , who are suffering under the same stress needlessly by unthinking uncaring people .. i just want to add she is a beautiful young lady who has a lovely caring personality and its a shame that she and others in her profession are subjected to this form of abuse.. note : this is happening in regional victoria australia.

  There is no excuse to behave like this, what is shocking is how commonplace it is in society , it’s been beyond disappointing.

  Some regional places in Australia haven’t seen the panic buying, the closer to population the more trash the behaviour.

  In Australia we have an abundance, food especially, we export the majority of our produce and supply ourselves the majority we consume, yet everyone is stepping on each other to buy the last apple on a shelf. The hardware stores are war zones for the actual trades persons who need to get things.

  Imagine a flu strain that actually had a 5% mortality in children? Surely the collapse of society as we know it, populations at war, everyman for himself. Like that song, Imagine all the bloodshed, it’s easy if we try

  The radicals make me feel like I have to defend Trump when I don't want to because of their crazy lies.

  by JimmyYoung in

  as i have stated in other posts i voted for trump because he said he would crack down on illegals while the left was trying to open the flood gates and let them in to destroy the nation.

  was he the one i wanted in 16, no i was hoping for cruz.

  he is arrogant but smart and somewhat polished and had many views like i do.
