Even if vaccines were safe - and huge unexplained excess deaths around the globe, and Pfizer trial data suggest otherwise - it is beyond doubt that they neither prevent infection nor transmission.
Typical GB pretending they are 'doing something'.

30It’s started COBE asking all appointed men if they are fully vaccinated
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).
there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .
but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT
by cofty in10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

Spot on peacefulpete, thanks.
It's interesting that the additional prohibitions of the Law that applied only to priests included eating an animal found already dead.
This implies that it was a concession that a normal Israelite could do so as long as he followed the rituals of purification.

Ratty - you might be interested to know that everything you just just wrote would have been a complete mystery to the Bible Students of Russell's time.
It was a legalistic invention of Rutherford and it is this as much as the Trinity that puts the Watchtower outside the Christian mainstream.

Are the statistics out yet?
by slimboyfat inisn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

African JWs are not likely to be a significant financial asset to the organisation. Ultimately that is what the leadership care about most.
The steady increase in western Europe is a puzzle.

the value of that life is applied to those who have committed the crime
Actually that was invented by Rutherford the lawyer.
Russell taught, much like all evangelical churches, that Jesus' death was vicarious punishment - see Isaiah 53. Barbour thought that was unjust leading to their split.

I don't think that rejection of a supernatural worldview merits a label.
I was raised a JW, spent a decade as a born-again christian before eventually rejecting faith as a virtue.

SB - Are you aware that the authenticity of the Muratorian Fragment is highly suspect?
The fact that some NT authors cited other NT authors doesn't begin to answer my challenge.
All your work is ahead of you.

Masks catch droplets but droplets were never the issue. At the very beginning the big fear was that C19 would be an aerosol virus - turned out it is. All the experts told us that masks were pointless.
Then they closed down the economy and weaponised fear. Then they opened up the economy but everybody was now too afraid. So back to masks. Here is something you can do to allow you to go back to work/shops/cinema/pub/school and stay safe.
Masks were all about psychology and nothing at all to do with science.
