"what drives these doomsday 'prophets'.
many include wildly inaccurate readings of the book of revelation.
often these pandemic prophets end their predictions with sign-offs such as "if you don't have a bible, buy one!.

what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.
- economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.
- politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.

does anyone remember one of the videos on the jw broadcast, where the speaker actually prayed "in the name of michael, amen"?
.
someone was asking about it on another forum, but no one can remember when it was or if we can locate it..
Yea I remember that but I think he was referring to Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson was the most the popular jw in the world!
Fortunately he didn't say "in the name of Billie Jean, amen"!

although the effects of covid 19 are only just beginning to bite in most countries, i reckon that countless millions of people worldwide will remember 2020 as the year in which they lost something - whether it be a loved one, their business, their job, their home - the list will be very long.. the draconian measures in the uk alone mean that various rights and freedoms have already been lost by a nation, albeit temporarily..
I'm 73 and I've already lived through several "lost years" and yet here I am! We don't need a ton of shit in our lives to be happy and satisfied. Friends and family works for me. But I know those who subscribe to the motto; "He who dies with the most toys---wins!"

logged into a zoom 'pep talk' from one of the local elders last night.
about 9 families were connected via zoom which was pretty cool.
however the information shared was even better.
Logged into a zoom 'pep talk' from one of the local elders last night. About 9 families were connected via zoom which was pretty cool.
However the information shared was even better. The direction is coming from the CO, who undoubtedly got it from the gb, that the memorial will not be held in groups this year but should be "observed" at each family's home. Of course , there will be video links to hear someone drone on about the death of christ and how important it was. But we were told not to be concerned about passing bread and wine since we are not part of the 144,000 anyway. lol, lol. New light!
Imagine that. So it's just a ritual of no importance except to the 144,000. Now tell us something that we didn't know! California jw's stay home for the memorial! yippe!
But dress respectably according to the directions from the gb! Because, I'm sure jesus and the 12 put on their best clothes for the last supper!

There have been several seemingly "world changing event" over the past 102 years starting with the Spanish Flu. 20-50 million died, but soon life went on and things got back to 'normal'. The 2 World Wars were certainly events that altered civilization especially the holocaust, 6 million Jews died, but soon things got back to 'normal' and life went on. Those events did foster changes in the way things are done and the way lives were lived for many but I believe that a few years from now this too, Covid-19, will be part of history that scared the shit out of us but life will go on and things will return to 'normal'.
Religions and cults thrive went things like this happen but in the end I believe that rationale and sanity will prevail!

let's add to the following list.
jws are mistaken when they believe the bible teaches:.
1. that their leaders somehow represent the faithful and wise servant.
Except for very direct commands, the bible teaches whatever you want it to say, thus 35,000 christian denominations.

it's so pathetic, oh how they believe there so special.
my wife said " this shows alot when the borg stops assemblies" i said it show alot when alot of venues, governments and other religions shut down stuff.
what do i hear......crickets back.
I reluctantly "attended" the meeting yesterday morning with my pimi wife as it was streamed into our living room on our 65 inch Samsung TV. We didn't get dressed up and were actually in our pajamas. She drank her coffee and munched on a cinnamon bun while I sipped on a Bloody Mary. Who'd of think it?

the losing jobs and having poor health will be applied for sure in whatever meeting is held.. but i wonder if anyone will connect the middle aged man losing his job and the old and the sick with the way bethelites are treated..
It will be interesting to see how many parasites lose their cushy positions at Warwick and Paterson and the other branch facilities. Less meetings, less assemblies, less conventions=less money! Too many mouths to feed at the branch so bye bye!
