  i was walking through a market today, and spotted lds cart witnessing.

  so i thought, what the hell, i’ll give him a go.

  i focused on the character of joe smith.

  JW current stance on Vaccines?

  by lcarter017 in

  it came to my attention that the covid-19 vaccine works by editing the genetic code of the mitochondrial dna, using gene therapy.. you should seriously question the moral implications of allowing a part of your dna to be modified.

  does anyone have any concerns about this?if anyone has any questions, i can do my best to explain.

  i personally find it very suspicious how they chose to word it, and conveniently inform us of this fact "after" people have taken the vaccine..

  ExBeth - I absolutely don't care what you think nor your question re/boosters. Maybe JWs should have been more circumspect re/demands of WT in the first place.

  Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!

  by LongHairGal in

  yes, there’s a post on reddit.

  it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.

  this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

  blondie -- not had time to read this topic but the line ,"It is easier for a JW to break a commandment than break a twenty" is hilarious!! So darn funny -- going JW -- my new motto😂.

  I'm not anti-vax --that's a cheap line, btw, and quite ignorant re/all the deaths and disabilities re/ the C-19 injections which were not "vaccinations." Too bad people are still asleep and can't dig for facts - oh well, sad.

  Just deleted my saga why -- I owe no one any explanation.

  JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  2. beliefs

  my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.

  he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.

  he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

  Going out w/a whimper could take decades -- I'd prefer a nuclear explosion into a safer, normal, mainstream religion. The religion scares people now -- it's that toxic.

  Poor metabolic health increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

  it’s all a big fat lie.

  more precisely a big low-fat, high-carbohydrate lie.. 'it took dr. paul marik 12 weeks to prove that conventional wisdom about dieting is a lie, and that was just to himself.

  he lost 35 pounds, and cured himself of type 2 diabetes.

  Heard sap on radio say bacon is as bad on your health as smoking - certainly hope not and most don't sit down and devour a slab.

  Unbelievable Amount of PIMOS at Massachusetts JW Convention

  by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this comment was made on reddit, perhaps protesting is starting to get the witnesses' attention.. it amazed me how many jehovah's witnesses exiting the convention were reading the protester's signs.

  some of the witnesses were taking pictures of the signs.

  jws were going by and smiling and giving a thumbs up.

  RO - I appreciate his work/efforts. Life is brutal enough w/out WT horror and it's not easy to show up and do what he does, IMO. You're a loyal friend to Rick Fearon -- the best kind.

  Too bad the XJW attending the Mass convention wasn't able to report back more info -- WT is really on top of those attending -- they probably notice anyone not asleep in the seats but paying attention.

  I've only watched about 1-1/2 YouTubes of his show linked here -- I appreciate info but can't sit through that long and dosed off couple times yesterday w/no dinner ready -- thank gawd for take out. It's odd very few show up to 'protest' or 'demonstrate' (his term to police/sounds better) w/him but I think his signs/presence is good. I always appreciated the signs and happy attitude of the apostates at so cal. Quite a contrast from being tired, sleep deprived, baked in blazing sun, for few days - LAX never looked so good for departure back to the Mojave desert. Thankfully, Phoenix was in doors. By that time I'd leave at noon - enjoy Scottsdale, shopping, pool -- anything.

  Where were the apostates at this Massachusetts' convention event - maybe venue wasn't big enough.

  Barbara Anderson has to be Six Screens' biggest attraction/super star - she's a Super Star for her admirable hard work!

  RO - thanks for the link. First thing I noticed was the nice SUVs/Sedans the JWs were driving as they exited -- very few old beaters or I was too focused on the inside lane. Rick Ferron made same comment on video -- shocked mentioned JWs must make a lot of money today as window washers since they discourage higher learning. My guess -- many are in the trades, in demand, and do very well. He also made point they might go in debt for nice autos since the end is so close. 😂

  I hope I can find the Six Screens youtube to watch Saturday for confirmation of the 2,000 in attendance he mentioned yet the venue holds 6,000.

  Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  https://youtu.be/5926nhzyz90.

  the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

  Are local elders in various halls/cities aware of these empty seats around the country as well as the religion shrinking? Obviously, they know of percentages who qualify to view meetings, conventions, what-not, on zoom.
