My jw is totally against CBD and equates it with pot. sigh, just the minimal amount of research would show him otherwise. My kids hide anything or conversation about their experiences with CBD and they do not do illicit drugs nor would they. They do use CBD on occasion, don't tell jw dad.

For those who don't believe there are adverse reactions (including death) here is just one site with medical workers who were asked , "How concerned are you about adverse events related to the vaccines?" scroll down and read the stories, read all the way down to some of the first. What amazes me is how some have had severe neuropathy, unable to work for weeks, pain, not able to walk and so forth and then question if they should get the second or third shot?!

Good point Atlantis! however, in my experience most jw's don't seem to know this. Or they flat out lie about it so they sound more mainstream? They claim Jesus is their 'king' but not their mediator or is in a 'sense' and then go on to such convoluted nonsense nobody knows what they are saying anymore including themselves.

Having elders, ms, etc... tell a newbie jw to lie to his wife because she opposes the mind numbing cult. Continuing that line of thought for years, it is ok to lie to those who don't deserve the truth (see the Aid book under 'lying'.)

Confidential Letter from the Watchtower to all full time servants.
by pistolpete inthis is a confidential letter for all full time servants like cos, regular pioneers, bethel and branch workers so please don't tell anyone about this.. reminder 20,000 jws have died of covid and 99% of those who died or were hospitalized in the united states branch territory were not vaccinated, so whose fault is that???.
my question, how did they get the information that all these 20,000 jws were not vaccinated?.
hint; if you want to continue to share in spiritual privileges--------------------get vaccinated.

I just do not understand how they can even take the vax considering their stance on blood. With blood nobody died giving it, it is completely voluntary. The vax does contain or used aborted fetus cells in production, how do they reconcile this in their own minds?
I am not trying to debate the aborted fetus cells nor how many actual babies were used, rather just the jw view of this. Nor am I debating taking the vax or not, simply and only how a jw can justify it in their own heads.
(see Dr. Plotkin ( Dr. Plotkin is considered the Godfather of Vaccines. )discuss using 74 (he corrects attorney from 72 to 74) aborted babies, he even chuckles about if babies tongues were used or not, see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vIcrFOT8pc&t=3s only posting this for those who say only 2 aborted babies cells from the 70's were used, it is not true according to Dr. Plotkin. You can see his credentials here https://forti-fy.com/how-will-this-information-change-you/?sfw=pass1625142815)

I was thinking about this topic the other day and was remembering the long and in depth posts by many erudite posters. I am sure you and remember many of those posts, I will not name them because I'm sure I would leave some important person out. Over the recent years many older ex jw's have said how the org has changed and they seem to write to a 4th- 6th grade level. I wonder if some of the newer ones leaving may not have the same grasp of doctrine in general as some of the older folks?
If that is the case, then naturally the newbies would not have the same conversations that the older posters remember (some of who went on to become theological professors, or actual real ministers with college educations, etc..) If you asked a current jw to discuss how 1914 was arrived at, flip flops on generation, changes in baptism questions, flip flops on rape, flip flops on organ donations, and on and on, a current/younger jw probably has no idea of these things. They might even accuse you of lying (which my jw did).
When my jw first joined up later in life I threw the book at him (my mistake and I do not recommend it) on flip flops including the picture of jw's celebrating Christmas. He denied, denied, denied until he finally had to admit it was true because some elder told him so.
I think some newbies may not care as much about actual doctrines but are more concerned with how leaving will affect their personal life and family relationships. Can't blame them for that, we have all seen those stories and most of you have lived it. Maybe it is better they are not quite as indoctrinated as the older folks? (Biblically/doctrinally speaking) or at some sort of different level? I dunno.
