33Sorcery = Pharmakeia
by KerryKing inrev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.. the interlinear for sorceries reads pharmakeia.. bible hub has some interesting definitions, i'll try to share screenshots below.
the gist of it is that sorcery involves drugs/medicines/poisons, with or without spells, sorcery is not the same as witchcraft or divination, or white/black magic.
i have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.. considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, nsaids with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, i wonder am i going mad, are these all coincidences??

Teddnzo:
Then they even say to heat the seed oils to very high temperatures. This advice is so very harmful.
âCook the food until it is very hot. â
Did they though? Or are you just selectively quoting the source to push a narrative? The actual statement from the source says:
Cook food until it is very hot. Food, including the innermost portions of meat, must reach 70 degrees Celsius (160°F) for at least 30 seconds.
The smoke point of all of the common refined cooking oils is well above those temperatures. They vary, but generally over 200°C (392°F). And they weren't even specifically talking about heating seed oils.
Teddnzo:
I just canât believe They really did say that egg yolk is harmful
No. They said:
Another way to decrease cholesterol in your diet is to reduce your consumption of egg yolks to one or two per week;
If someone has high cholesterol and wants to lower it, that's one thing they can do. If someone is not concerned about high cholesterol, they might choose to eat more egg yolks and other tasty things.What is more interesting about the Awake! article from 1997 is that it presents recommendations from the World Health Organisation during the period that the Watch Tower Society was registered as an NGO in association with the UN. One of the requirements of that status was to support and disseminate information related to UN objectives.

đ Itâs called a metaphor. The author of Revelation was expressing a view that contemporary Rome had corrupted the minds of the people of its client kingdoms in a way similar to how minds can be affected by drugs. No conspiracy. No great mystery. Nothing relevant to anything happening now.

Just because margarine isnât plastic đ, it doesnât mean that the types of fat in margarine are necessarily good for you. Hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fats, which are associated with health problems. They are found in many processed foods, not just margarine. Not all margarine products contain hydrogenated oils.
Problems with seed oils generally relate to heating them beyond their smoke point causing changes to the chemical composition (no, still not plastic), as well as overconsumption (which often goes along with overconsumption of unhealthy foods generally).

As for margarine and shortening, go ahead and eat it--if you enjoy eating plastic. That is what these abominations are, plastic.
I saw the thread title and scanned the thread for the ignorant trope that âmargarine is plasticâ. Sure enough. đ¤Śââď¸
Plastic is a polymer of hydrocarbons. Margarine is an emulsion of water and fats. Margarine is chemically similar to⌠butter.

Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?
by liam ini didnât get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

MMM:
There absolutely was a better way to handle it, and it was no secret during the pandemic: inform the public of the risks, and let them naturally do what's best based on their risk profile.
The problem was that from the start of the pandemic the relevant risk information was suppressed and hidden as much as possible.Some people like to tout this conspiracy that information was âsuppressedâ. Back in reality, details were unknown rather than suppressed, particularly at the beginning of the pandemic. Unlike armchair experts who âdo their own researchâ by watching conspiracy nutters on YouTube, national health services had to do actual research rather than vacillating from one pet theory to another. They intentionally erred on the side of caution to try to minimise the number of deaths, which resulted in varying degrees of inconvenience but a lot fewer deaths than might have otherwise been the case. But for people who canât see beyond their tiresome political biases, everything is a grand conspiracy.

liam:
LOL, you sound like my grandfather. [irrelevant anecdoteâŚ]
Well that was an odd little spiel of tedious misdirection đ¤Śââď¸
Whether government health services around the world did the best things they could have done is debatable. But they were able to prevent a similar proportion of the population dying as during the Spanish flu by having lockdowns and vaccination programs. The âanti-vaxxerâ crowd (including that portion who âarenât against all vaccines, just the covid onesâ), with their misinformation, wilful ignorance, and no better solutions for managing a pandemic, are supremely ungrateful for the result that allowed health services to not be totally swamped. But aside from all of that, claiming lockdowns around the world was âjust to prevent Trump being presidentâ is off-the-wall unhinged crazy.
