Did you have to take out a subscription to watch it ?,I have Oxygen but I balk at the thought of paying the sub just to watch one program.
Seeing as I know just about everything they could show about WT/JW and the subject.
watching right now with my wife.
we are both born ins but have been out for a long time.
my wife dislikes pretty much most things about the jw's and not much surprises her about the org but even she had to take a break because she was appalled by the cover up.

every single news item, on every single news channel, and the majority of threads on this site, for the past three weeks seem to be either directly or indirectly related to covid-19.
is nothing else happening in the world?
has putin stopped slaughtering syrian civilians?
Am I the only one who gets it joey jojo with a +1 ?
jehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .
they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?
true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.
They believe we are living in the last of the last days,that The GT and the big A are imminent .
Whatever happened to the hard hitting messages that JW`s were supposed to give this world in these final moments of this system of things?
this is getting thrown about a lot to me from various jdumbs.. .
also got the perfect answer as retort!
beat that you jdumb morons!.
We don`t want them down here at least I don`t .
Hang on , on second thoughts
Maybe the A.R.C. into child sex abuse could convince them to release the data about these cases they have refused to release.

Jehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by God to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.
They are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing Jehovah`s Kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.
Which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in Jehovah .
Taking to heart Acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," We must obey God as ruler rather than men "
They are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one Satan the Devil to mislead all mankind.
This includes all Governments ,Religious Leaders ,Economic, and Social Systems ,they have even stated that the United Nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.
So what do we see today ? True , we have a pandemic with this Covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the Spanish Flu pandemic a century ago.
Now I`m just speaking from a Jehovah`s Witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is
.The United nations World health Organization and the directions of Governments from around the world and remember Jehovah`s Witnesses believe they are all in the power of Satan the devil have effectively shut down most JW meaningful activity .
No public witnessing from house to house
No meetings to take place with human contact
No Circuit Assembly`s
No conventions either national or international
No Baptisms
No public talks for any interested ones
Have I missed anything ?
And most of all they are no longer Witnesses of Jehovah in the world because they have been silenced by Satan ,the God of this system of things.
(and covid-19 ) of course.
In other words they have not put their trust in Jehovah to protect them in this pandemic and still carry out his will to preach this good news of Jehovah`s kingdom as they believe it ,rather they have lost faith in Jehovah to protect them and have now put their trust in men to protect them through this pandemic and have put Jehovah`s will on the back-burner .
it has nothing to do about feeling chosen or ruling in heaven, but rather many feel it's a command for all christians, that by partaking you are accepting christ as their saviour!

the 'last supper' wasn't really the first memorial, as there was nothing to memorialize as Jesus didn't die yet.
I never thought of that .Isn`t that a thought worth expanding on ?
Passover , Last Supper , Memorial ?
we are now well aware of the shit storm this virus has caused pretty much all over the world but there is going to come a time in the near future when it wont be such a heady news worthy concern.
the reason being is that there are numerous clinical institutions in many countries that are now working on a vaccine, more so than any other deadly contagious virus in human history.. when mankind puts its brain on things usually come of it.
when documented cases start to decline to a certain point governments will start to reduce their imposed restrictions availing people to get back to work, stores reopening , economies cranking up as they once were, normalcy will return.. it will no doubt be a slow restart but the vigor of capitalism will eventually return and this event will be left as a documented event in human history.. i do hope governments will take note of how this virus got started and spread as it did.. a sole person perhaps selling live and dead wild animals in a open public market in wuhan china , astonishing to think what that one person did to effect the entire human population of 8 billion all over the world.
The 80 trillion dollar question is, will humanity learn something from it? Or will we just repeat the same mistakes when (not if) the next disaster occurs?
Will the wet markets such as exist ed in China be banned ? Or will they re-open again once this has all died down ?
If you haven`t yet seen the videos of the wet markets as they operate in China ,then do yourself a favour .You may never want to buy Chinese take-away ever again.
am i missing something here ?
how is it that where this covid 19 started , in wuhan china, china has only ,reportedly 83,000 for the whole country ?
whereas in the united states of america the figure is just under 400,000 ?.
The simple explanation is "where are you getting your numbers?". We simply cannot trust anything that China and the WHO tell us.
The figures I used in the OP were from the John Hopkins map.
That same map today reports :
US , 466,033
China , 82,924
Are those figures not to be trusted also ?
Or the better question where does John Hopkins get their figures from ?
The World Health Org.? or Individual Govts / Nations ?

How is china where it all started ,with so few, compared to the USA ,thousands of miles away where the USA have nearly 5 times that of China ?
How can we really know the number of victims of this virus in China? Are they down-playing the numbers ?
somehow the numbers just don`t add up .Who is looking into this ? The United Nations ? The World Health Organization ?
Both the political and health agencies.?
a local brother has called on me 3 times in the last few months and has just sent me a letter ,.
in the previous calls we kept it simple : i have'nt been to meetings for years ,don't believe in god now ,etc.
touched on how i was appalled at how the org handles child molestation and they were quick to say that there have been problems but the governing body has it handled now blah blah.
Well we did get a call from an old friend the night b4 the memorial however she never followed through with her stating she would ring back b4 the Memorial started .?
She is in Qld and we are in Vic.
Oh well che sera sera .
