How do JW feel about CBD?

i am not so sure if i am willing to discuss cbd with my jw aunt.

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.

Theocratic Warfare
by Iamallcool in

2. friends
most of us know what theocratic warfare means but maybe very few people reading this forum might never heard of theocratic warfare.

can you give them some examples of theocratic warfare?

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 in
1. watchtower
2. medical
this 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.
