We are taking advantage of the situation by holding prayer meetings, our Sabbath School Lesson Discussion, etc, via platforms such as Zoom, which is including those who were unable to go to church prior to this on account of other issues, who are benefiting from using platforms like Zoom to pray, study, and fellowship together.

Let us not chastise anybody here for thinking differently than we do, but to rather encourage one another as we see the Day of His Second Coming approaching.

Theophilus, help my unbelief. It would help if these beliefs were science based.

Show us science based journal articles to support your beliefs, and maybe we can accept them. Right now, I see so many lies and inconsistencies about this year's flu virus that I have a hard time believing this pandemonium.

I could not find anything about exponential. I found it as a multiplier. Could you show us a journal article where it shows how it was calculated?

But if people who are afraid, stay home, then it's not necessary, right?
Show a journal article of an experimental study showing that masks prevent transmission of disease.

Show a journal article of an experimental study showing that 6 feet protects people and not 3 feet, nor 5 feet.

We were told initially not to wear masks. Now we are told to wear them.
Were they lying to us before or are they lying to us now?

If masks prevent the spread of disease, then we don't need to maintain 6 feet, right?
And if 6 feet prevent the spread of disease, then we don't need to wear masks, right?
And if someone has the flu, and wears a mask and/or maintains 6 feet, they don't need to be quarantined, right?

Which one they tell us to do is the lie?

If you have not found and read any journal articles where experimental studies have been performed determining these such specifics, than ask yourself this:

Is your belief science based or media based?

Here you go. You can cut it out with the media thing. Media is books, airwaves, signs, and forums. So?Where do you get your information? I just happen to go more to study to see what was going on. That I'm not thoroughly PO'd with the world because I have to stay home is the least of my worries. I find it funny that you guys get in a wringer because you have to wait to go to church. First world problems.

OTOH,Im supposed to crawl all over the earth finding stuff for you or explaining something that should be easy for you to grasp, if you were not so anti information..

Also r is not a multiplier--more exponential although I think i see what the problem is.

Let's use 3. as the R number and assume that if a virus has an r number of 3 , 1 person will infect 3 people.
Those 3 will infect three more people . That is not 3*3, that is 3 to the third power, which is 27. See the difference?

there are a ton of websites about R you could google all of these, but you prefer to cut on me.

I don't want to have have to deal with being called names or looked down upon and thought of being a person who has no faith.If i say anything, I'm the bad guy.That's funny, too.Don't ask me anymore questions or acknowledge this any further. I am not going to respond anymore. You vex me, and if truth be told, I don't like you.

You might learn something if you google for yourself, somewhere with some academia. I'd steer clear of Breitbart.

I'm going to go somewhere else.



Oh and chastise away for the tenor of this post. I have asked to be removed as a member. This post may be just the ticket!!!!

Guess I hit a nerve by asking for science to back it up.
Journal articles. Materials and methods. Can you present some?
Is that a bad request?

I already did. You are a troll.

Theophilus shows us the reason we need to assemble in person. The warmth of a smile and a handshake can melt away the suspicions we naturally might tend to have of each other otherwise. Online contacts, such as here, can never equal personal contact. We NEED to gather together. Isolation breeds loneliness and negativity. Online contacts do little, if anything, to mitigate this.

The Bible does have something to say about being quarantined.

Take for instance the following:



This sounds like periods of being quarantined to me; one period being for 33 days and another period being for 66 days in which the person under quarantine wasn't even allowed to enter the sanctuary.

I have a mistake in my post 192619 above which i am not able to edit.
For the example R=3 (R is the exponent)


1 person affects 3 people.
Those 3 affect 3 people which makes 9 people affected.

those 9 affect 3 each making it 27.. and so on. This is exponential

3^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27

The ideal is to get R to 1 or <1

The differences are, the woman was considered unclean/unpure for a certain condition. The quarantine was for a limited and specified time.

How does that compare with this year's flu "quarantine"?

What if everyone were to ware one of these masks?
What happens if Hong Kong court upholds mask ban amid coronavirus pandemic?
