I personally cringe when I see pictures like this. It isn't the loving Jesus at all that will cure mankind, which would be far more suitable than this picture. Why are Jehovah's Witnesses always so nasty about the end of this system of things?

Ruben, Jesus will remove sickness and death and he was given kingly authority to do that. I personally think that any picture of Jesus is appropriate, except for the baby pictures

Well today you publicly cringed 🧐

 

I see what your saying though. The pic is of warrior-king Jesus coming to execute his enemies. A bit out of place for a discussion about people getting sick and dying, but I think we all know what she meant.

 

Once those enemies are removed, THEN our loving Lord and Savior will heal mankind once and for all.

I loved the symbolism of an all out attack on the virus by the only one that will be successful.

Since it’s from our publications and no matter the reason for showing it,  it should make us lift up our heads proudly, not cringe, knowing full well that very soon our warrior King will soon rid the earth of all of man’s problems.

While families' cats and dogs are enjoying the upside of spending days with their owners working from home during the coronavirus shutdown, wild coyotes in San Francisco are reportedly also taking advantage of the benefits of a suddenly empty city.

    Probably a lot less food for them to find with all the restaurants

and bars closed, except for take-out and delivery.

How the Pandemic Will REALLY End

 

I guess it's post 2713.

This is from chapter 18 paragraph to the pure worship book.......During the war of Armageddon, Jehovah will execute people, not in a cold, clinical manner, but in a “great rage.” (Read Ezekiel 38:18.) He will direct the explosive force of his anger, not against one army or one nation, but against countless individuals living across the globe. On that day, those slain by Jehovah “will be from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth.”—Jer. 25:29, 33...........  the paragraphs after really touch on how there's a big difference between how Jehovah's anger is and how man's is and how his is Justified

Here is an interesting video about using Hazmat procedures for groceries...

Because of you I took out my book and am going thru it again looking up all the scriptures, such timely material

I enjoyed that video, I usually follow clean vs dirty procedures... but I feel like I was going to puke just imagining the taste of disinfectant/lysol in the air and food. I'm not sure of many better options than alcohol currently, but it evaporates so quickly.

Not just US pastors.

The Russian Orthodox Church has faced criticism over the attitude of some of its clerics to the coronavirus outbreak.

It's a huge debate everywhere.

Hi Darin..Why do you think you will have to leave your home? Just curious..It is good to have supplies you need at home because with so many under a stay at home order (because of the COVID19 virus) , many will be buying provisions and later it may be harder to find what you need for you and your family.

I had an idea for a hat just no Capital to bring it to fruition

Are you saying all the reports we've been hearing of people getting seriously sick, on ventilators, and dying, (including those under 60) is exaggerated?

 

I get your in the health field, but is your geographic location a true representation of what is happening globally?

Let me explain HOW most of these cases of younger people getting sick occur. 
     An otherwise younger ( say 50 or younger) person with no KNOWN comorbidities works in a position in which they would be constantly in close proximity to many people actively symptomatic with COVID.  Normally such a person might feel a little sick ( maybe have fatigue or a slight cough ) so they take a week off and become immune. But those who continue to work in close proximity to other infected persons build up a VIRAL LOAD from the contaminated air and surfaces around them. The VIRAL LOAD reaches a kind of critical mass in their bodies and very suddenly their whole body is overwhelmed . This is a particular hazard for Doctors and Nurses ( Me). But in settings in which a degree of distance may still be maintained and each in turn may take their 14 day’s off work herd immunity will occur much faster. The current way things are being done will just draw out and lengthen that process. And probably actually cause greater loss of life ( as it currently is). 
     Now , about all those news reports. They are happening due to the VIRAL LOAD scenario I described. Or the person had an undiagnosed preexisting condition.

Immune to that strain. However, there will

be more to come.

Me too, but this may be good in my case. I got depressed and sloppy with my diet, gained weight that I need to lose. This may help. 😁

I know this wasn't asked of me, but I'd like to respond because updating go bags was on my list as well for a few reasons. 

 

1. We were advised to do so long ago, so it is my habit to go through bags once a year or so anyway. 

2. A talk was given recently where it was suggested that we check and update everything. 

4. This world is very unstable right now. There are high rates of unemployment, money is tight for some people, supplies for certain things are running short, while prices for other things are increasing. Not directly where I live, but not terribly far away either, I have seen full blown riots break out over less. The police could not control it; the national guard had to be called in. They were looting, destroying things, setting buildings and cars on fire ect.. Who knows. Something like this or worse may be enough to need to grab a bag and go.
