many world leaders have proclaimed peace and security, yet no end occurred.

everyone assumes it’s not the “big one” yet that will set off the annihilation of billions.

the current governing body are made up of all jws that are not anointed, the anointed ones have all passed away and are awaiting jehovah’s command to kill all the non jws in armageddon.

if you were running a 5k race, what would it mean to you if someone said the end is around the corner, keep running the race, don’t give up!.

you would literally believe it was around the next corner, wouldn’t you?

when it wasn’t, you’d start questioning if you heard them correctly.

i believe a light has to be shown on the elderly, forget blm.

sure, blacks are being mistreated by law enforcement at times, but there are hundreds of millions of people on a daily basis having no regard for the elderly by not wearing masks in the middle of a pandemic.

they believe the elderly have to be casualties for the economy and getting normalcy back.

2. experiences
they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.

they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.

and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.

worldwide numbers – 13%.

deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

scrolling through the news this morning and i couldn’t help to think we are light years from any leaders crying out peace and security.

jws are going to have to wait another decade or two and see how things develop before they get excited about armageddon coming in their lifetime.
