Is that why the mortality rate was higher among JW's then the general population? 28k dead. This is laughable! All they did was cut and paste direction from the CDC and who.

Funny thing, that jesus thing never mentioned a peep about the Amazon "shot" or one of its many variants. Not a peep about taking quercetin to ward off coronavirus. Nor a peep about zinc, which works with quercetin to make a serious infection of coronavirus all but impossible. (Or vitamin D.)
As for the other measures, worldly sources were on that about a month before the washtowel made any mention of it, or did anything about it. During February and March 2020, when it was unknown how serious this "disease" was, they went door to door and held boasting sessions in person. (With no masks, either.) Then, after the governments had already been hounding people to stay apart and stay home if they didn't have to go out, then the washtowel reacts. Seems that jesus is lagging.

St George of England
Watchtower February 2017 Page 26 par 12:-
12 The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. In fact, the Watch Tower Publications Index includes the heading “Beliefs Clarified,” which lists adjustments in our Scriptural understanding since 1870.
If they're not inspired how does Jesus communicate with the these guys? As for not being infallible, they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable.

Georgie Boy they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable.
The cog-dis is high with these sheeple.
See the pish below.............
Nothing is interpreted but the interpretation comes from God and is then published.
(WT 1943 July 1 pp. 202-203)Angels deliver what is published.
(PREPARATION 1933 pp. 36-37, 64)THE WATCHTOWER publishes "no man's opinion".
(WT 1931 November 1 p. 327; 1936 March 15 p. 85)"To it (this organization) alone...the Bible is not a sealed book." The WTS is "the only organization on earth that understands the 'deep things of God.' "
(WT 1973 July 1 p. 402)The leaders are "spirit directed" (WT 1988 March 1 p. 10)
and "God's channel."
(WT 1969 January 15 p. 51; 1960 July 15 pp. 439, 442)"It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the 'slave' as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision."
(WT 1957 June 15 p. 370)C. T. Russell founder of the WTS, called himself "God's mouthpiece" (WT 1906 July 15 p. 229); claimed that compared to reading his books Bible reading is "a waste of time" (WT 1910 September 15 p. 298)
, and that his books "harmonize...every statement in the Bible."
(DIVINE PLAN OF THE AGES 1886 p. 348)God uses and directs the WTS.
(VINDICATION Book 1 1931 p. 77)"The 'slave' class has served as God's sole collective channel for the flow of Biblical truth to men on earth. Just as the early Christian congregation collectively served as the channel of communication from heaven to earth, so in our time."
(WT 1960 July 15 p. 439)"As Jehovah revealed his truths by means of the first-century Christian congregation so he does today by means of the present-day Christian congregation. Through this agency he is having carried out prophesying on an intensified and unparalleled scale. All of this activity is not an accident. Jehovah is the one behind all of it." (WT 1964 June 15 p. 365)
"Therefore, in submitting to Jehovah's theocratic organization, we must be in full and complete agreement with every feature of its apostolic procedure and requirements."
(WT 1967 October 1 p. 593)"It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision." (Watchtower 1957 Jun 15 p.370)
Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book. Many persons of the world are very intelligent, capable of understanding complex matters. They can read the Holy Scriptures, but they cannot understand their deep meaning.""( Watchtower 1973 Jul 1 p.402)
The point is that Christians have implicit trust in their heavenly Father; they do not question what he tells them through his written Word and organization." (Watchtower 1974 Jul 15 p.441)
"We must serve Jehovah in truth, as revealed in his Word and made clear in the publications of "the faithful and discreet slave." Watchtower 1996 May 15 p.18
w10 7/15 p.23 par.10 “The Spirit Searches Into... the Deep Things of God”
When the time comes to clarify a spiritual matter in our day, holy spirit helps responsible representatives of “the faithful and discreet slave” at world headquarters to discern deep truths that were not previously understood. (Matt. 24:45; 1 Cor. 2:13)
p.17: "Listening to the slave class means giving our full cooperation to its Governing Body."
p.27: "Since Jehovah God and Jesus Christ completely trust the faithful and discreet slave, should we not do the same?" "The slave thus deserves our complete trust"
p.28: "By all means, then, let us listen to the Christ and his trustworthy spirit-anointed brothers."
***w10 9/15 p.8 par.7 Earnestly Seek Jehovah’s Blessing ***
We cannot hope to acquire a good relationship with Jehovah if we ignore those whom Jesus has appointed to care for his belongings. Without the assistance of “the faithful and discreet slave,” we would neither understand the full import of what we read in God’s Word nor know how to apply it.
-- w10 9/15 p. 13 par. 8: "Similarly today, a Governing Body composed of spirit-anointed Christians contributes to the unity of the worldwide congregation. The Governing Body publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages. This spiritual food is based on God’s Word. Thus, what is taught is not from men but from Jehovah.—Isa. 54:13."
***w10 9/15 p.23 par.8 “Your Leader Is One, the Christ” ***
The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ.
***si p.9 par.16 (2011) “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial” ***
(1) Jehovah God originates his utterances; (2) then his official Word, or Spokesman—now known as Jesus Christ—often transmits the message; (3) God’s holy spirit, the active force that is used as the medium of communication, carries it earthward; (4) God’s prophet on earth receives the message; and (5) he then publishes it for the benefit of God’s people.
-- w12 9/15 p. 22 par. 16 Learn From the Patience of Jehovah and Jesus
Well, a person who lacks confidence that the end is near might start to make alternate arrangements, so to speak, in case things do not work out as Jehovah said they would.
-- w12 9/15 p. 24 par. 4 "You Know Neither the Day Nor the Hour"
As the end of this system draws ever closer, the work of pointing to Jehovah’s provisions for salvation has never been more important.
-- w12 11/15 p. 17 par. 9 Cultivate the Spirit of a Lesser One
A humble person has heartfelt gratitude for Jehovah’s provisions, including spiritual food. Hence, such an individual is a diligent student of the Bible and an avid reader of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines. Like many other faithful servants of Jehovah, he may make it a practice to read each new publication before putting it away on a bookshelf in his personal library. When we manifest humble appreciation by reading and studying our Bible-based publications, we make spiritual advancement, and Jehovah is able to use us more fully in his service.
-- w13 4/15 p12 par 11 Do not tire out
Jehovah has provided a bounteous supply of written spiritual food to give us strength. No doubt, you can think of a time when after reading a publication, you thought: ‘That is exactly what I needed! It is as if Jehovah had that written just for me!’ That is not a coincidence. Through these provisions, Jehovah does instruct and guide us.
WT 15 Nov 2013 - "At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. (4) Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. The elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith."

If they're not inspired how does Jesus communicate with the these guys?
They want to have it both ways. Similar to what I said before- if they get something right, it demonstrates that God is working through them. If they get something wrong, they're fallible men who don't always get it right. What they don't add to the latter is: they don't get it right, even though God works through them(????).
As for not being infallible, they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable.
And that, of course, is the real danger in the way they act. They have even made it clear that if someone teaches something that contradicts current GB teaching, that is apostasy... even if they make that teaching canon at a future time. Being right or wrong is not the most important factor, in their minds- being obedient is. Do they accept that explanation for any other religion or organization on Earth?

Wow! They are giving Jesus credit for something, not Paul! What is happening?
No contact with elders face to face - only texts- no phone calls to be personable anymore- text for time only-- sometimes throw in how are you? Do you need anything? Told one of them twice I needed something - still waiting to see after 6 months..

I remember one of their members boasting and saying that when other religious denominations are banned from meeting together in person. Jehovah’s witnesses will continue to do so. Since it is part of the government ploy to ban the preaching work. Fast forward to a month. They were already on ZOOM, training and learning seriously how to set up meetings on ZOOM.
They can continue to lie that....
"While many in the world were uncertain about what course to take,"
We know the certain course they had to take was to follow God’s ministers aka the GOVERNMENT of the DAY Romans 13: 1-5 to avoid the punishment and shame that follows when they disobey.

Since we know Faucci and CDC made multiple errors concerning social distancing and mask efficacy and safety, especially for children, and that they are intricately linked with “Satan’s” governments and “The Merchants of the Earth” (FDA/ Pfizer, Media) then Jesus made multiple errors as well.
The only other choice is that Satan, and his followers were 💯 correct in their “Pandemic” response measures and that would me paragraph 14 is full of shit..
Either way the GB lose out to any semblance of rational thought. Only J-Dumbs will fall for that rhetoric.

Yes, they did not fare better than so many other religions. Jw's died from COVID. It was the perfect opportunity for Jehovah to show up "Baal" and keep all the flock safe from COVID.
