WHO finally admits that the shit don't work.

by pistolpete in

the main reason most got the vaccine was to protect others.

now they’re being told they can spread it just as easily as the unvaccinated.

Brock, thx for the geography lesson.

I'm just a little tired of people trying to prove that only ivermectin works by citing 'proof' from countries where reporting is hard to quantify, when all they have to do is take note of their lived experience in their home country.

How many times do we have to hear about an Indian state called Uttar Pradesh beating the virus with ivermectin only? Even if all they actually used was ivermectin, anecdotal evidence, even from doctors is not good enough to prove anything. It's like most other viral sicknesses, some will recover regardless of treatment, some will die regardless of treatment and some will fall in between the two.

Simon, speaking from my experience right here in Australia, the number of cases have come down. Apart from Melbourne, Australia is virtually covid free. Sydney has beaten the delta wave with lockdown and vaccines. Im not sure why you insist that isn't the case by saying the figures don't show that.

Australia was slow to vaccinate and , just as your chart shows , Simon, cases spiked in August in Sydney and Melbourne. Your chart also shows cases coming down as more people get vaxxed. I mentioned already, multiple medical sources right here in Australia are saying that the unvaxxed account for the vast majority of hospitalisations. Last time I heard it was 95% approx.

The fullfact source you linked also showed that was the about the same rate early in the UK, but according to them, its more like 35% now.

The problem you have is that they stats you are given often don't hold up to scrutiny.
What you think you were told is that 95% of people in hospital and unvaccinated and there because of COVID. That is likely very far from the truth.
You are being lied to, constantly, and even if someone shows you the truth you will find it easier to double-down than to admit you were fooled, because that is human nature.
It's not 35% in the UK. At what point do you admit that things are not as they are portrayed?

Actually Simon, I am more than happy to be proven wrong- please show me credible stats for Australia if you think I am mistaken. In the meantime, here is a recent news article.

Brock Talon:

"If vaccines "work" so well, why are so many people still hospitalized with COVID after being fully immunized? Israel is probably one of the most vaccinated countries in the world and it still suffers terribly from COVID. 60 percent of their hospitalizations are of those who are FULLY VACCINATED. You need more than that?"

FedUpJW:

The evidence is there, if you care to look for it.

"They won't look for it though. There is no one so blind as those who willfully choose to be blind."

I dont need to go looking for tenuous statistics in far-flung countries with 3rd world medical facilities and reporting. Australia now has about 85% of its population fully vaxxed. We have used lockdowns and vaccines and have extremely low rates of covid. But guess who is sick in hospital with covid- the unvaccinated, who account for about 95% hospital admissions. These are not made up statistics,they are freely available for you to read first hand, you dont even need to go on a conspiracy-based website- amazing.

If you are getting your info from websites like info-wars, you are not doing independant research, you are getting regurgitated, third hand nonsense from religious fundamentalists with an over-inflated view of themselves. If you think big pharma has taken advantage, what about all these nuts on social media who are cashing in on this situation.

Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?

by Disillusioned JW in

is bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.

full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.

consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

If a God didnt bring an end the world after the horrors of ww2, when the world was a broken, chaotic mess, why would he bother with a global pandemic that by historic standards, is fairly mild, when it comes to death toll?

If you re going to claim that vaccines dont work, at least present valid, fact-checked information to the contrary- if you have it. Its easy to make claims that only ivernmectin works, especially about countries where reporting levels are unclear at best.

If you make extraordinary claims that the majority of experts disagree with, at least have the honesty to back it up with peer-reviewed data.

What if Witnesses presented their core beliefs at the door?

by Vanderhoven7 in

here is an interesting skit of what would happen if a witness was transparent at your door.. https://youtu.be/b0koiba2kyq.

JW's core beliefs:

Take some unrelated bible verses out of context, ignore archaeological and historical evidence, cast doubt on experts and scholars and apply scriptures to make people think everything in the bible applies to their lifespan.

Actually, no. JW's core beliefs are whatever the latest Watchtower tells them to believe.

by Rattigan350 in

"the campaign will feature the distribution of a special edition of the watchtower magazine containing the cover series “a better world is near.”".

"more than 36 million printed copies of the magazine will be distributed in some 230 languages to communities in 240 lands around the globe.

in addition, the digital publication is available on various platforms in nearly 400 languages.".

Thought there must have been something going on. I have seen some jws on Facebook posting links to jw.org with this article and tagging non-jws in the post.

Witnessing pandemic style.

I understand your separating yourselves from the Org...BUT~

by Revealed in

...why have you left the god and his son?.

joey jojo

You are right Smiddy, everything on earth wants a piece of something else. Even whales are merciless carnivores- I think a lot of woke, peace loving, vegan hippies often forget that.

If the Almighty, Powerful, benevolent God had a book written for humans, what would it contain?

by pistolpete in

i know for a fact it would not start off with a talking snake, magical fruit, invisible beings that desire beautiful women to have sex with.. and it wouldn’t end with a flying dragon, a two horned lamb, locusts that resembled horses with men’s faces, but with women’s hair and teeth of lions.

and the book wouldn’t allow for hundreds of millions of religions to spurt from it.

i think the first thing a book written by god would have, is that it would be written in a way that all languages could understand without being translated.. regardless of what language you would speak, we could read it and understand what it said.

A nice picture of the author on the back cover.
