I'm not to sure about the lunacy of pronouns and genders but maybe some one can help me with this.

so for years the usa has been relying on cheap labor in china.
supply lines were never interrupted.
china has gotten away with murder in its sending anything it wants with little checking of its goods.
WOW!
But since none of us on this forum are prophets/seers/knowers of the future (none that I know of at least), instead of getting all heated up about death tolls and percentages, probably best to check back is 4-5 months. Our worrying about it won't change what's gonna happen! I suggest that we ponder this question:
"Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?"

with the coronavirus now categorized as a global pandemic and many large gatherings are now social distancing for safety concerns of contacting and spreading the virus.. will the memorial of christ death take place on april 7 2020 worldwide where thousands will gaether in large crowds to commemorate the death of jesus as commanded in the bible.
jesus gave the command to keep doing this in remembrance of him or will sound, reasonableness and good judgment for safety overrule on that special night.
my guess is that it will not be canceled regardless of the frightening and very real pandemic the virus has caused around the world!.
Just yesterday I Mentioned to my pimi wife that they may cancel the Memorial this year due to the need for 'social distancing'!
Her reply was that she didn't think that was even conceivable because of it's biblical example and importance and that jesus himself instituted it.
I sort of agreed with her and then I added; "I wonder haw many attended that first memorial that jesus instituted?"
The sound of silence rang loudly!

jehovah's witnesses weren't jehovah's witnesses until 1931.until that year the people who had been hard-headed followers of end times false prophecies by william miller and seventh day adventists, more or less settled into following charisma-ballyhoo preaching by folks like "pastor" c.t.
russell.what was it that attracts these people?
it is a thin veneer of pious bible interpretation as a means of prepping for the end of the world.yep.
We (jw's) were right and everyone else was wrong! Oh what a feeling! I was so smug and self righteous. I sort of miss that feeling........but not at the price I had to pay to have it!

why did i have so many jobs?.
i became a velcro salesman, but i couldn't stick with it.and besides - it was a ripoff.. i tried my hand at a career in tennis, but it wasn't my racket and i was too high strung.. i was a masseur for a while, but i seemed to rub people the wrong way.next i got a job at a pool company, but the work was too draining.then?i was a historian, but i couldn't see a future in it.i took a job as an elevator operator—the job had its ups and downs, and i got the shaft.. i became a banker, but i had an affair with boss's wife because she promised to hold my interest right up to the moment of withdrawal.. i just lost my job as a psychic.
i did not see that coming.if a job’s worth doing, it’s too hard.. i quit my job working for nike.

here's just a few random observations from tomorrow's wt study:.
jesus’ command to make disciples was not limited to christians living in the first century.
jesus concluded his instructions to his followers with the words: “i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (matt.
The whole wt "lesson" yesterday sounded like a part that used to be covered in a 20 minute q & a part on the service meeting! How to conduct a bible study and get the poor victim quickly indoctrinated!

just been reading former long-time brooklyn bethelite tom cabeen's very encouraging article entitled "where is the body of christ?".
(can be found at http://divinetruth.homestead.com/bodyofchrist.pdf) .
in his article, tom says: "when john received the revelation around the end of the first century, there were hundreds of thousands of christians, even by conservative estimates.
Every religion has to have it's own 'pet' teaching that makes it different and therefore the 'right' religion. The wt just happens to have several 'pet' teachings which makes it even more of the 'right' religion! Except when it's wrong!

if the holy spirit is an "active force", how can it be grieved (ephesians 4:30)?.
in other words, according to the jw's, one can make jehovah's "force" sorrowful?
this is an example of how the jw leaders have perverted the gospel in translation, and have put the jw's in a position in which they must perform intellectual gymnastics in order to maintain their false position.
The Holy Spirit? Is it even a thing or is it some imaginary, invisible, indestructible, unreliable force like the expression out of the Star Wars movies,
"May the force be with you"
If it's so powerful and it's from god, why the hell isn't it doing something good today, right now to help humans. After all, humans are god's greatest creation right?
