Idiot...

They quoted a medical journal.

Are you so stuck in religion that you didn't see clearly that they quoted a journal?

one thing you must know about Jehovah's witness is that they are not prophetic church,they careless about this accurate prophecy.. But the truth is that they are bless with wisdom to foresee a lot of things before it become obvious.. There are many things they have said in the past that are happening now.The signs of the end time were first published by them..give it to them abeg.

So even JH don dey release prophecy? I only know them as intelligent fellows who do not believe so much in spirituality.

Please don't use this prophecy thing to spoil JH biko. Let them continue with their way of doing things.
Its not a prophesy, its a scientific topic n awake dwells alot on that, it was just quoting another science journal on when the next pandemic may come up judging from the biible prophesy that pestilence will abound in d last days. The bible already did all the prophesy JW dont have nothing to prophesy

Then why say it like it is something special? People predict all sorts of things and it comes to be doesn't make them any kind of special.

Nairaland atheists sometimes can be very funny. They claimed that no prophecy concerning this virus was made known, and men went underground to dig out prophecies concerning this virus both home and away.

But what's the problem right now? They are not satisfied, they must look for one or more loopholes to prove their "supposed intelligence" that is found in a well of foolishness. Foolishness indeed!

The "Foolish wise ones" among them have kept their mouth shut in regard to this prophecies, but the noisemakers are displaying their foolishness in every threads that concerns this particular topic.

Happy Sunday old classic specimen of a human being.

I realize they did not prophesy, rather they did a robust research. Not one of their members or leaders has come out to claim they prophesied, like most religious leaders would do. It's we the readers that are looking back at what we read some 15 years back and come to appreciate so many calculations of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Read in between the lines and get the sense, They only quoted a journal to prove a point that there will be more epidemic breakout in this last days just has 1tim 3:1-3 has spoken about. As the days go by, more pestilence will come up, scientists are yet to discover more in d future.

It's not prophesy. It relied on a sound academic research journal paper "Vaccine". Reading Awake growing up partly sparked my interest in nature and science.

Their topics on science, astronomy, health, and others are top notch.

Anyone familiar with influenza will know it has no medication as such. In fact viruses generally can be hard to treat.

What made the JW paper intriguing is making clear that another flu outbreak could cut across age groups. The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed about 50 million people worldwide. Because of poor record keeping back then, some believe it might up to 100 million people killed. When world population was only about 1.6 billion people, about the population of just China today.

The Spanish flu of 1918 mostly killed people with a very good immune system like people aged about 15 to 60 years old. Basically wiping out much of the most productive population.

Covid-19 currently kills older people and those with underlying medical conditions more.

Imagine a scenario where it kills anyone of any age.

I am not a Jehovah's witness.

SARS was also a coronavirus, and it also jumped to people from animals in the wet markets.

SARS emerged in Guangdong and infected 8,098 people over the course of eight months, killing 774 Patients experienced fevers, headaches, and a type of deadly pneumonia that could cause respiratory failure.

Experts called SARS “the first pandemic of the 21st century,” since it spread across 29 countries. The disease hasn’t been seen in humans since July 2003.

The Awake magazine writer in predicting another virus quoted the medical journal, Vaccine, of 2003, which warned: “It has been 35 years since the last influenza pandemic, and the longest interval between pandemics recorded with certainty in 39 years. The pandemic virus may emerge in China or a nearby country and could surface from antigens or virulence factors derived from animal influenza viruses.


“It will spread rapidly throughout the world. Several waves of infection will occur. Morbidity will be extensive in all age groups, and there will be widespread disruption of social and economic activity in all countries. Excess mortality will be evident in most, if not all age groups. It is unlikely that health care systems in even the most economically developed countries will be able to adequately cope with the demand for health care services.”

True to this prediction, the influenza pandemic again began in China in December 2019, from where it has spread to other parts of the world.

The virus has presented huge problems to China and the World Health Organisation in its containment.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not in the business of man made prophecies prevalent in today' s christiandom churches, they have absolute belief only in the prophecies of the Bible, they highlight prophecies that have come true, the ones fulfilling now as mentioned in Matthew 24 which their magazines carry, and ones yet to come true, they don't have new prophecies, they believe every prophecy regarding man's existence and his relationship with Jehovah has been uttered in the Scriptures, it is now left for mankind to heed warning and seek refuge in HIS " camp". Op rephrase your heading, JWs don't prophecy, they only highlight Bible prophecies.

The deadly Coronavirus or COVID-19 was predicted by an article published by the Jehovah’s Witness, a religious group, 15 years ago, in its magazine, Awake! But the world ignored the warning.

According to the article “The Next Global Epidemic, WHEN?” published in the December 22, 2005, edition of Awake!, the world was alerted that a pandemic virus might emerge in China or a nearby country in the future.

It also warned that it might emanate from an animal and could surface from antigens or virulence factors derived from animal influenza viruses.

The prediction, seen by some analysts as opportunistic, came two years after the end of another pandemic virus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak that started in November 2002.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2020/02/17/awake-jehovah-witness-magazine-predicted-coronavirus-15-years-ago/amp/

The awake only quoted an article. Jehovah's witnesses did not predict. Let's be guided please.

Bro, aren't you conspiracy theory experts tired of all these your theories any time some epidemic befalls humanity? There was this guy who argued with me that he was a 100% sure the Ebola outbreak was the end of the world! He was so sure that he called me a fool for not believing him. Each time there is a global outbreak you guys must come up with your theories which end up failing 100% all the times. If Nigeria was in existence as it is today during the ages of the black plague I'm sure we would have said the world had come to an end then too.
