  An announcement was made in my congregation (in the UK) this morning (Sunday, 3rd January) that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine does not contain blood or blood fractions. It also concluded by saying that "medical care is a matter for personal decision. We do not attempt to make choices for others."

  if any of you are in the uk in the lead up to christmas aled jones the singer who usually hosts the television religious programme 'songs of praise' on the bbc has brought out a new christmas cd.

  it is an interfaith collection of songs from across a spectrum of different religious groups.

  you can find it for sale on amazon at present.. and surprise surprise it seems that he has included one of the songs from the current jw songbook called "listen, obey, and be blessed".

  Watchtowers next big revenue stream!

  evidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.

  kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.

  well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

  I have been out of the cult for 10 years now! What is their latest stance on Vaccines or the Covid-19 Vac? Any insiders?

  i used to be very active on this board - 14 years ago (redpill2006...still remember blondie, barbara and many others).

  then left the cult for good 10 years ago (ex-bethelite, ex-elder).

  today, after so many years, i decided to come back because there is an issue that is nagging in my mind.

  Apologies that the video I linked to above is not available. Here is a transcript of the relevant segment:
  

  STEPHANOPOULOS: I want to get one more question this segment and it comes from Mieke Haeck. She's from state college Pennsylvania. This is your first presidential election that you're voting.

  MIEKE HAECK: It is.

  BIDEN: Hi, Mieke, how are you?

  HAECK: I'm good, thank you. I'm the proud mom of two girls, 8 and 10. My youngest daughter is transgender. The Trump administration has attacked the rights of transgender people, banning them from military service, weakening non discrimination protections and even removing the word transgender from some government websites.

  How will you as president reverse this dangerous and discriminatory agenda and insure that the lives and rights of LGBTQ people are protected under U.S. law?

  BIDEN: I will flat out just change the law. Every -- eliminate those executive orders, number one. You may recall I'm the guy who said -- I was raised by a man who I remember I was being dropped off, my -- my dad was a high school educated, well read man who was a really decent guy.

  And I was being dropped off to get an application in the center of our city; Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate capital of the world at the time. And these two men, I'm getting out to get an application to be a lifeguard in the African American community because there was a big swimming pool complex.

  And these two men, well dressed, leaned up and hugged one another and kissed one another. And I'm getting out of the car at the light and I turn to my dad. My dad looked at me and said Joey, it's simple. They love each other.

  The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, you know I decided I want to be transgender. That's what I think I'd like to be. It would make my life a lot easier. There should be zero discrimination.

  And what's happening is too many transgender women of color are being murdered. They're being murdered. And I think it's up now to 17, don't hold me to that number. But it's -- it's higher now?

  HAECK: Yes.

  BIDEN: And that's just this year. And so I promise you there is no reason to suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter or daughters, whichever one or two ...

  HAECK: One.

  BIDEN: ... one, your daughter -- that your other daughter has a right to be and do. None, zero. And by the way, my son Bo, passed away; he was the attorney general in the state of Delaware. He was the guy who got the first transgender passed in the state of Delaware and because of a young man who became a woman who worked for him in the attorney general offices.

  Things that YHWH Never Told Me. Did You Know that YHWH Came from Egypt? Hmmmm!!

  i belong to a group (best description that i can think of) that specialises in sharing academic papers.

  ok, sometimes that provides me with all kinds of interesting material pertinent to my research interests.

  but, sometimes, (and since i have not read all of it, i'm assuming its fair dinkum, genuine research) something turns up (not among my usual research interests) that blows my simple brain.. anyway, after a brief examination, my conclusion is this: i think charlie russell would have gone gaga over this research.. the author has named his paper, .

  What an interesting paper. There seem to be a few more articles on the same theme, namely
