saw on the news a story about using plasma from people who have recovered from covid-19 being used to treat people who have covid-19 via transfusion.
well, if that proves to be effective, i guess it would really stink to be a jw!
maybe the governing body would decree that in instances of covid-19, and only with covid-19, the whole "no blood" thing would be ignored.
Hey if the GB can declare that Covid-19 makes it's unnecessary to "gather together for THE MOST important day of the year", the memorial, well then they might just be able to find some very obscure scripture buried in one of the books of the minor prophets that will allow emergency blood transfusion due to Covid-19!
What the hell if you can break one commandment to save lives, why not another to save lives!
just saying!
how will the borg be able to count the partakers(144,000 anointed) since jws are to celebrate the memorial at home?
what about accurate counts for attendees?
what challenges do you see?

If we wanted to be preached to, we could all go back to the kh. The bible=Hebrew mythology. Nothing more!

any thoughts?
i would expect vancouver and toronto to be huge epicenters with the rate of international travel there.
with vancouver highly asian and toronto a mixture of everywhere, they are either just behind in the cycle or doing something that makes more sense than what is happening here.. rub a dub.
Canadians are antisocial by nature so it's harder to spread the virus!..........At least that 's what I've been told!

no work.
no school.
people being cooped up.
Just think we are all doing our part to save mankind by doing nothing but staying at home! We're all heroes!

what will the world be like once this pandemic is over?
the world has been through this before, in the form of the bubonic plague and it left changes to life still felt today, especially in regards to the economic system.
so many people dying meant a smaller working class that meant their skills and labour was suddenly more valuable which in turn raised wages.
the rich will get richer and the poor poorer! ................ Just my guess of course!

just saw this , sent to me in an email.just another way of trying to encourage me to come back coz this is it!
they are doing all they can to still reach out to people despite the lockdown!
i am appalled but at the same time ,i can very well remember when i used to be doing the same thing when pimi thinking i am really helping people , giving them a positive hope , something to look forward to n all.. amazing how thoughts and mind sets once opened changes so drastically!.
Of course the bible has the the answer to every question....................because the bible can say whatever one wants it to say!

oh my goodness!
how come we never thought of this before?
if the israelites had animals to sacrifice to jehovah in the wilderness, then how come their god jehovah had to give them manna so they wouldn't starved to death?.
Jehober always loved a bloody sacrifice! Seems ironic that jw's view blood as sacred but jehober likes seeing it poured out, drained, and splashed.

You can bet that the number of "video attendees" will top last years numbers. And it will be a sign from jehober that nothing can stop jw's from celebrating the ritualistic Memorial!

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?.
JW's have proudly touted for decades the fact that they teach the same lesson each week in every KH through out the world so it makes sense that every KH look the same and every speaker stand work the same. I'm surprised that the same public talk is not given is each KH each week and that uniforms are not required!
They preach unity but they practice uniformity!

after commenting on experts' differing views, i came across wolfgang wodang - a physician/politician.. he makes the point that coronavirus is no worse than the 'flu virus which killed 18,000 in 2017/18.
so far, there have been 8,215 deaths from coronavirus in italy.. worth reading wikipedia's brief info on his theses.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wolfgang_wodarg.
Is Wolfgang Wodang possibly a descendant of some Nazi scientist from the WWII era who said that the holocaust was being hyped?
