Tennis Controversy in Australia

by smiddy3 in

apr 20, 2020. novak djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the covid-19 vaccine.

he says: “personally, i am opposed to vaccination, and i wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”.

asked by sky news australia anchor danica de giorgio why djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the home affairs minister said: “they’re entirely separate processes”.. “to gain entry to australia you need both – you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,” she said.. “i know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter australia.”.

Vidqun,

The messenger rna (mrna) is killed off in a couple of days by the body and doesn't keep manufacturing spike proteins perpetually, which is what was suggested in a meme on Facebook which started this false opinion.

If you are concerned about the body over-reacting, maybe take a few moments to read a bit about cytokine storms.

This is what happens when your body overreacts to an invading virus and creates too many antibodies. It is especially dangerous in respiratory illnesses as it fills a person's lungs with fluid, causing the person's own immune system to drown them.

This is how people died during the Spanish flu.

For everyone saying, 'I trust my immune system to beat covid', yes, it might, but there is also a chance it won't cope.

There are risks with everything we do.

Vidqun:

"If you vax a person having natural immunity (already having antibodies against COVID) you cause the person's immune system to go into overdrive, causing an accute auto-immune response by attacking his/her own cells. This causes blood clots, myocarditis, pericarditis, etc."

I have a question.

When you were spending years at medical school, and then years studying immunology, did you discover that your statement applies to all vaccines, or simply the covid vaccine?

It's just that you seem pretty sure about what you are claiming.

Because you are obviously a world expert, why are so many of us alive that had chicken pox, measles, mumps etc, and then, had booster shots later in life even though according to you, we no doubt had natural immunity? I don't remember my immune system going into overdrive and don't remember developing pericarditis or anything else. Maybe I was one of the lucky ones.

Care to explain?

David Splane...''Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

david splane comes out firing and is relentless as to the reasons why christianity was brought down.

christianity was not broken down by persecution, but by false brothers and apostate teachings.

today, jehovah's witnesses face the same danger from false brothers and apostates.

joey jojo

"Christianity was brought down by apostates".???

When, exactly was Christianity brought down?

Pretty sure Christianity has flourished for 2000 years.

More cracks in the dam - WTS pleading for elders "in their early 20s"

by FFGhost in

jw
friends

i have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6315842470936576/annual-service-report-yet-another-analysis-big-trouble-wts.

here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.

joey jojo

30 is the traditional age of maturity, according to the bible. Numbers4:3 is often cited and of course Jesus being 30 before he starts his ministry.

I don't care how 'mature' a jw in his early 20s may seem, or how much preaching he has done, you simply have not been through enough sh1t to give practical advice to an adult going through serious problems. At best, you could give someone a pep talk, but anyone can do that. Even if you have had a tough time growing up and had adverse experiences, you need years after that to process and learn from what you have been through, in order to help others.

At that age, you would be embarrassing yourself.

My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

by Sea Breeze in

a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

joey jojo

waton, yes, just like the depictions of paradise, where, according to WT leadership, highly educated people wont be needed, but mainly hard working tradesman to build the new world.

Apparently, physics have changed in the future and engineers and architects are no longer required.

Im not an expert by any means. My understanding is that the universe is racing apart, outwards, like a balloon expanding, until eventually, everything has become so far apart, if we were to look up into the night sky, we would be alone, and nothing would be there.

Genesis doesnt explain it any better, in fact, it reads like any other creation myth from anywhere on earth:

'In the beginning, God created the Earth and the Sky.......', ' He created light before the Sun and stars'....., 'vegetation before the Sun'.

What Does Prayer Actually Do?

by punkofnice in

if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.

joey jojo

I cant remember who said this:

Prayer is nothing more than a confessed sinner, asking God to bend the rules of the universe for his own benefit.

Gog from Magog

by Kosonen in

i saw an other thread about what the wt says who or what gog is.. my speculation is based on the following:.

in the end un will get the power for a short while, as taught in the wt literature.

this is based on revelation 17:12-14: "the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast.

joey jojo

I was talking to an old, still in friend the other day and he mentioned this new understanding of Gog and Magog, although he didnt explain it to me. So whether he personally understood, or cared about it is another story.

Its simply classic WT tactics to distract the average JW for a bit longer, another carrot to dangle- a reason to talk about how the organisation is moving along and obviously signifies how close the end must be.

Re-introduce a mysterious concept from the bible that is shrouded in obscurity, that may or may not point to the end times and the apocolypse, or it may just be a story that applied to a localised area that has long since occured. or, because it is in Revelation, may be an analogy.

From the time of Josephus until now, no one really knows who it applies to, and probably because of that, it has been applied to so many different places and people.

Dating in the Org

by Rattigan350 in

you men, who were brothers in the congregation and you were dating sisters in the congregation, did you find that they cared more about how you made them look in the congregation than they cared about you?.

you women, who were sisters in the congregation and you were dating brothers in the congregation, were you more concerned about how he affected your status & how you were viewed in the congregation, than you cared about him?.

joey jojo

Where I grew up, girls were strongly encouraged to only marry a guy if he was over 20, pioneering and a M. S.

It was definitely a status symbol for some sisters to get a husband that matched that criteria.

I`m astounded by this number ,what`s your thoughts ? definite benefits for sure ,but what of the future ?

by smiddy3 in

by 2020, 114 launches carried around 1,300 satellites to space, surpassing the 1,000 new satellites per year mark for the first time.

but no year in the past compares to 2021. as of sept. 16, roughly 1,400 new satellites have already begun circling the earth, and that will only increase as the year goes on.

just this month, spacex deployed another 51 starlink satellites into orbit.. right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet.

joey jojo

Smiddy, spacex plans to lauch around 30000 (thats thirty thousand- just to be clear :)) satellites for worldwide internet coverage.
