Ive just received a handwritten (photo-copied) letter delivered by my
postman from the Jehovahs Witnesses. Handwritten address on envelope
(to householder) with 2nd class stamp.

Apparently if you go to their web site they will explain why their god
has been such a vindictive ******* in targetting the old and vulnerable
in society with the Covid virus. It is all explained in their bible.

As an interest, some humans look at other animals and say 'ah, cute!'.
These animals are somewhere themselves in a food chain, and are killers
as well as food. They are in the game, for survival. Most wouldn't think
twice about having me for a meal.

Same with viruses.

I'm sure Covid looks 'cute' to another microorganism, and if they had
the means, they would build a 'virus zoo', organise petitions, do fund
raising and support the banning of dangerous chemicals like, er, bleach ...

Most do I'd say, to some animal or the other. We even take our
children to the local farm, after telling them to be kind / gentle to
all the animals, then we kill the animals for them to eat?

When our daughter first learned that she was disgusted but we
continued with her indoctrination and normalisation of that conflict
of her / our morals till she worked it out for herself and stopped
being conflicted (by becoming vegan).

These animals are somewhere themselves in a food chain,


'It's actually mesh though', the interrelationships aren't linear
like a chain.

and are killers
as well as food.


Many aren't, other than of plants, eg, all the herbivores?

They are in the game, for survival.


Exactly ... and nature has generally worked a balance between the two,
for all the species that haven't been over-predated into extinction
etc. I think there needs to be a ratio of 1:10 (predator / prey by
biomass) for the predators to survive.

Most wouldn't think
twice about having me for a meal.


Few of the herbivores would? ;-)

Same with viruses.

I'm sure Covid looks 'cute' to another microorganism, and if they had
the means, they would build a 'virus zoo', organise petitions, do fund
raising and support the banning of dangerous chemicals like, er, bleach ...


;-)

I think the decision over if they have or haven't is down to
sentience. A plant / bacteria can move as in a reaction to things but
not because they have made a conscious decision to, so taking away the
option to wouldn't be an infringement of their 'rights'. Of course we
need bacteria to survive so we couldn't even label all as good / bad
so the good bacterial need protecting.

Exploitation or symbiosis?

How about ants, are they sufficiently sentient, social animals that
build their accommodation and organise foraging expeditions? Are they
more sentient than say pigs or cattle that do nothing of the sort?

My joveys are a lot more hi tech than that. They used to

I did lay that one on her when it became clear that is was another jovey

and
that that utter obscenity of their god would be fixing everything soon.

When I asked why it was taking countless millennia for that ******* to

What has happened of course is that they normally travel in 2s, then they
are being stopped from doorstepping by the covid rules. And I too know of
how some of these religious maniacs can target vulnerable folk. They
probably think they are helping, but so blinkered they are, they cannot
separate the harm they do from their well meant message.

I've just received a handwritten (photo-copied) letter delivered by my
postman from the Jehovah's Witnesses. Handwritten address on envelope
(to householder) with 2nd class stamp.

Apparently if you go to their web site they will explain why their god
has been such a vindictive ******* in targetting the old and vulnerable
in society with the Covid virus. It is all explained in their bible.


Some sixty years ago I had a 'discussion' with a JW, who insisted that
the world was going to end in a few years because it was all in the
bible. They recalculate every few years...it's a bit like fusion
reactors!

Not seen any JW's for a long time.
Clue to any religious belief is to look at the rewards. For JW's I think
only 2500 are going to be saved come the apocalypse and their chances
improve with the number of converts.

Do you mean that most their converts can be considered as cannon fodder
and no better off than the unbelievers?
