  ''Even if you don't mentally support it, you are implying that you do to others. Your very presence adds to the JW numbers ands gives a false impression. You and others like you are helping the org to survive. I take great offense at that and consider you to be a weak person. I could never support that organization in any way. You and I are as different as night and day.

  addendum: Your faking it is contributing to the captivity of thousands like my family members. I hold you accountable for that.''

  I agree.

  I also hold PIMO's as bearing some responsibility for any deaths that result from the no blood rules. PIMO's add to the peer pressure that other Witnesses are under to comply with rules that can result in death.

  But hey, it's a great social life. I should know, I was exactly the same as a PIMO myself for years.

  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

  PistolPete, ''Do the math ratios to see who is doing better.''

  Ok.

  USA, assuming 333 million people plus 27 million illegal immigrants = 360 million people.

  USA, assume covid deaths is 720 thousand. The maths ratio is 1 in 500.

  Australia, assuming 25 million people.

  Australia, assume covid deaths is 1350. The maths ratio is 1 in 18,500.

  I'm confused which side of the argument you're coming from. Are you saying Australia is doing better based on the math ratio?

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58420270.

  this item just featured on the bbc lunchtime news today as the headline story and the piece included a reporter who singled out jehovah's witnesses for discussion from the 30 organisations covered by the report.

  the news item then went on to feature an extensive interview ex elder and ex jehovah's witness writer lloyd evans..

  Just missed it on TV.

  But it's one more reason why I don't trust anyone that belongs to any religion.

  Followers of any religion have a tendency to put the reputation of that religion above common decency.

  Have JEHOVAH ever supported WARS between his WORSHIPPERS?

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses used to state other christian denominations go to war and in fact that their religious leaders bless such wars.

  they see this as one reason why all other christian denominations are not true christians since they kill one another at war and therefore they don't love one another as stated by jesus in john 13: 34,35.. for example when a roman catholic go to war, he/she is bound to kill a fellow roman catholic in the cause of the war.

  therefore roman catholic can't be true christians since its member don't love one another and kill one another at war and as such god cannot be in support of such wars where his worshippers kill one another.. the question that comes for consideration is, has jehovah ever supported wars between his own worshippers?.

  Since You Have Left The Religion Are You Happier?

  i realize that some activist exjws really don’t seem to be happy in life.

  they finally got away from the organization and yet seem still negatively connected to it.

  some exjws are always upset because of what the “truth “ did to their lives, which is understandable.

  Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

  by minimus in

  for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

  because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

  now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

  Anony Mous said,

  ''The vaccine adverse effects database currently says 10,000 have died from the vaccine'' (My bold)

  That is implying, would you agree, that the vaccine has killed 10,000 people.

  Could you link to the exact place in the 'vaccine adverse effects database' that says that?

  Thanks in advance.
