Flu Vaccine Now REQUIRED For All Students Going To School In Massachusetts

by minimus in

jw
friends

this is a requirement now in massachusetts.

children must get a flu shot by december 31. some allowances are made for religious reasons and health reasons.. personally, i don’t agree with the government making this mandatory.. what is your opinion?

?.

titch

Mr. Minimus: Well, IF the State of Massachusetts has made it required---mandatory---then the State of Massachusetts should pay for the flu shot. I hope that is what the situation is there.

Personally, I HAVE received a flu vaccination most years, during the past 25 years. I have no problem with getting one. And, they seem to work, for me. There was one year, 1997, I think, when I got a flu shot in early September, but by the end of the year, I "picked up" some flu that was going around. Perhaps it was a strain of some flu that was not effective with the "concoction" that I received a few months earlier. But, that was the only year that that happened. Best Regards, all

meditation now OK

by tottenkopf in

i see ken flodine spelling saying in the new zoom assembly that you should meditate.

when i was in the cult that was a huge no no.

it was called blanking your mind and the demons could take control.

titch

Or, should I say, "everything that they do, or experience." That is what I meant to write.

Well, there is a certain kind of "meditation" that I have known about for the past 20 years or so, called "mindfulness meditation." (And I try to incorporate it into my own life) With that kind of meditation, a person, doesn't go through life, and its routines, on "automatic pilot", but uses all of their given senses to become "mindful", or aware, of everything that they do. In the past few years, there have been special publications at stores that explain mindful meditation, and its benefits in life. I wonder if THAT is the kind of meditation the meets with the approval of the WTBTS? Could be, could be....Best Regards, all.

JW's and the National Anthem/Flag

by Anony Mous in

one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.

we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

titch

Well, Folks, the way that I understood it, while growing up, was that we were NOT to DISRUPT the Pledge of Allegiance, or the playing of the National Anthem. That, as we were told, would be showing disrespect for the ceremonies. In other words, those who chose to salute the flag and pledge allegiance, or rise during the National Anthem, were not to be interfered with. That was their RIGHT to do so. . It was also our right to refrain from participating, but refrain in a quiet respectful manner. I hope that helps.....Best Regards, all.....Titch.

It's Shark Week on TV ... anybody watching the shows?

with the virus thing going on, there's more tv time here in the rub a dub household.. watching jaws for the 20th time still is fun.

then all the killer stingray, whales and other sea creatures is interesting.. we watched moby's dick last night.

it's an old classic like jaws.

titch

Just as a side-note, here in the U.S., there has been a publication, produced by the Time Magazine organization, at stores, a "commemorative" issue regarding the 45th anniversary of the release of "Jaws". I bought a copy. I also remember back in 2000, "People" Magazine had a special issue to remember the movie, and stories about the cast members, and where they were at the time. That year was the 25th anniversary of the movie. Best Regards, Folks...

Well, there are two that were the "creation" of Mr. David E. Kelly: Picket Fences (my all-time favorite), and The Practice. (Mr. Kelly, being an attorney in a previous life, wrote several episodes of those shows, based upon his legal expertise.) From years gone by, The Fugitive, The Invaders, and The FBI, which were "Quinn Martin productions." And,, how about from the late 60s and early 70s: The Andy Williams Show, and from 50 years ago, The Ray Stevens Show (aka, Andy Williams presents The Ray Stevens Show) I'm sure I'll think of some more, as the day progresses. Best Regards, All

Aunt Jemima and Mrs.Buttersworth Need To Be Destroyed!

by minimus in

jw
friends

we have to get rid of these racist relics.

i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !

we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.

titch

Whatever the origin of the Aunt Jemima brand is or isn't---this past week I bought a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup. When it's completely empty, I'll wash it and keep it as a kind of "memento", when the brand is discontinued. It could be worth thousands of dollars about 10 years from now. Who knows......Best Regards all.

If You Have A Choice To Listen To Any Music, Any Artist —what would you like??

by minimus in

jw
friends

i love rhythm and blues and soul music.

i love funk but i also enjoy music of the 60s and 70s.

just not really into classical or country western although some country is pretty good..

titch

With me, it would be Yanni, and Enya. Any music from those two recording artists sit very well with me. But, I also DO enjoy music from the 60s and 70s, since I grew up in that era. Best Regards, all....

Gorby's question about current US situation

from the peacefull netherlands i have a question about the current situation in the us.. is a civil war possible?.

I thought that I'd bring out a "side-note" regarding the incident that happened in Minneapolis, MN, and the results that the incident has brought to the U.S. You know, what with the modern technology of cell-phone cameras, with which people---including law enforcement officers---can be recorded, and broadcast, far and wide via the Internet, you would think that law enforcement officers would be VERRRRRY careful about how they conduct themselves in carrying out their duties every day. I mean, Deven Chauven, didn't he know that he was being observed, watched, recorded on a cell-phone camera used by someone of the "citizenry"? Or, did it not matter to him? I wonder. What do you Folks think? Best Regards...
