I always felt like the we're all imperfect "excuse" had a lot in common with the "let he without sin cast the first stone" concept. Just a way to get others to back off of a very probable and/or legit accusation.

The "WE'RE ALL IMPERFECT" Theory.
by pistolpete ina recurring theme in this loyd deal is the we're all imperfect-----------excuse!.
the "we're all imperfect" phrase, is an over used watchtower membership cliche, embedded in the minds of jws and anyone that leaves.
in the real world, there is no such thing as "we are all imperfect".

Sad to hear this.
You will be missed Minimus.
When I think of him it brings to mind the saying,
"I'd rather have questions I can't answer than answers I'm not allowed to question."

I haven't had any vaccine in over 40 years and not going to take this one.
I eat healthy, exercise, meditate get appropriate rest so my immune system can be kept up to optimum efficiency.
Take garlic religiously as well as organic Oil of Oregano (fights all kinds of microbes of many types in body)
Every other day I take my two shots of whiskey (the only type shots I trust) for their medicinal value.
Remember how in every Cowboy movie if anyone got cut or shot they would pour whiskey on it to sterilize the wound.
They weren't joking alcohol that strong can kill basically anything. Just don't overdo it or too much can kill you. It's about the moderation. You want just enough to pickle or kill the bad bugs and yet not harm your organs or impair mental faculties. If you get drunk you've missed the point entirely.
My wife and i haven't had any immunizations/vaccines in over 40+ years and feel great. We don't even know what it's like to have a doctor, hospital or prescription drug bill because we haven't had to use any other than my gall bladder surgery.
We have a son that is now over 30 years of age and he has never had a single vaccine or immunization shot and besides not having to ever go to the doctor he hasn't ever had even a toothache. When I say never a doctor i mean it because he was born at a Mid-wife's house and as he got older I had to sign a waiver to release the local school district of any responsibility if he got sick because of him not being vaccinated. Guess what? He never missed a single day of school due to any illness/sickness.
After a few years of public school, he home-schooled so it was never an issue about whether he was vaccinated or not.
I've had people try and scare us saying things like ,well you've been lucky so far but one day your luck will run out. I just tell them if that's the case one day all of our luck will run out both the vaccinated as well as unvaccinated and we will die from something. But I refuse to live my life in fear.
Also if anyone ask me if they should get vaccinated my response is always the same. Do the research
Not just with this vaccine but all of them and then decide what risks are more acceptable to you. The risk associated with taking the vaccine or the risk of not taking.
Anyhow whatever you decide, Good health to you. -
I was surprised this actress/model was not raised a J.W. So many similarities
by StoneWall ini don't watch a lot of t.v.
so i didn't really know who she was but am glad i know of her now after watching this interview.i think she can be as instrumental as leah remini is/was on helping people break free of harmful cults, religions and control groups.
the things she discusses has many parallels with us as former j.w'sgoing to post the link here and hopefully it will embed.

Hopefully it will start off with a little red on my skin then turn a golden-brown.
Followed by my hair getting lighter/blonder to show off a nice tan.

Freedom from the panic/anxiety attacks I suffered from in my late teens and early twenties.
Never had to go on meds of any type such as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds,
All I had to do was give up that man made fear mongering organization always pushing Armageddon is imminent and that our best was never good enough. Once I did that all those anxiety attacks went away.
Now I have no fear of some supposed "End" whether that be Armageddon, Apocalypse, Judgement Day, Rapture, Ragnarok, etc.
Life is indeed good now. I just wish i had given up religion of all types much sooner so as to enjoy more of life when i was younger. -

Likability is one thing with Joe, Liking someone doesn't equate to a good leader.
When dementia gets worse which it will in the next few years how could we know he would remember the codes if needed for the launch case. What if he can't remember the name of who he's suppose to get in touch with in a critical situation or emergency? He's already shown that in the above video and with dementia it only gets worse over the next few years.
But even putting aside the forgetfulness lets go back about 40 years and trust him with his own words when he says he does dumb things and will continue to do dumb things in the future. I take him at his words on that. Not leader material. He amy get elected but I hate it for all of us that it comes down to either him or Trump to be honest but at this point since Trump hasn't started any new wars while in office and economy was booming until this 'virus" I'd have to go with Trump over Biden.
Here's the vid on Biden over 30 years ago when he got caught and had done some "dumb" things.
It's just under a minute but well worth the watch because i take him at his word that he's going to do more dumb things.

As I've said before if the Dem's really were serious about unseating Trump why would they put Joe Biden against him. Even though I admit Trump has said some things that left me scratching my head trying to figure out what he meant it pales in comparison to what has been happening to Joe Biden. I really think Joe is getting dementia and I say this not to be mean but I had a member of family develop dementia and Joe is displaying all the same traits.
How can anyone watch this 17 minute video and think he is a viable candidate is beyond me.
