  Do Masks really help in preventing respiratory infections? Recent study reviewed

  by Reasonfirst in

  2. friends

  in the recent coronavirus scare, masks were promoted as one way to minimise possible infection.

  a study, reviewed yesterday by an english medical commentator, dr john campbell, says, no!.

  watch what he has to say on this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3vy2lyqn1a.. the study he reviews can be found at: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.cd006207.pub6/full.

  Dr John Campbell- Doctor of Philosophy, not medicine.

  If you take a look at this study, there are some serious criticisms of it.

  I never believed masks were perfect but I wore them during the pandemic anyway. If they help - even a little, then whats the problem with wearing them? At the very least, if they are wearing one, it should prevent someone spitting all over you as they talk.

  My experience with people that dont like masks is that its more about the fact they dont like being told what to do, not about science.

  jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?

  name one person outside of noah’s family.

  name one nephilim.

  The largest modern, wooden ship, the Wyoming, built in 1909, was 450 feet long - about 50-60 feet shorter than the ark.

  The length caused it to flex and buckle in heavier seas and had to be constanly pumped with steam pumps to stop it from sinking, although it had metal bracing for support.

  Also, no one seems to know with any certainty what gopher wood was.

  dear friends,.

  i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.

  it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

  I dont agree with everything in your letter about vaccines but it has made me realise there are probably a lot more JW's out there who arent happy about being forced to vax just to attend meetings.

  It could be the deal breaker that pushes more to leave.

  How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.

  thanks..

  It all depends on the astro program you use and its methodology otherwise you can get different results such as that done by Dr. Rolf Furuli in his published research using professional software.
  scholar JW

  So, before designing the programs for the different astronomical charts, all the software engineers from around the world got together in order to create a consiracy just to discredit 607 BCE?

  If you go to skyview Cafe astronomical website and punch in the date 586, 587,the planets and constellations are right where the Babylonian clay tablets say they are for that year, not 607.

  You would expect that if he was stood down for medical reasons they would have mentioned that in the announcement.

  I think that besides the religious facet of this man, people don’t appreciate that he served in Vietnam and if he was in the battlefield that would explain if the man drank to k1ll then hurt and the pain and the horror and the shock. If you were there you know how many US soldiers were on d7rgs just to cope with the unbearable and if they came back alive to the US after a couple of tours, they became alc0h01ics or d7ug abusers. Anyway if the booze is true, being in the battlefield may explain and mitigate.

  Maybe I sound like a judgmental prick, but thats exactly the reason a man like this has no business being a member of a Governing Body that controls the lives of 8 million people.

  Particularly when that body expects its members to exercise self-control in all areas of life and not bring reproach on the organisation, or else suffer the risk of disfellowshipping.

  He comes across as the kind of guy that would be overbearing with a couple of scotches under his belt.

  I can only imagine what it would be like sitting on a commitee with him.

  Tony Morris departure is not accidental it coincides with the 2 NEW governing body members being brought in only last month. I believe Mark Sanderson who sees himself as the new Nathan Knorr is moving the strings behind the scenes. In the same way Nathan Knorr oversaw the massive changes after the embarrassing reign of Judge Rutherford so it is now. Mark Sanderdon wants to see off the old guard, Tony,Lett and Sam that are 3 embarrassing fools that have damaged the organisation the past 20 years with the mishandling of pedophilia cases and the demise of the religious to nothing more but a very toxic brand

  For arguments sake, if the plan was to replace 2 old GB with 2 new ones, it is a tough call as to who will be the next to go. Its between Herd or Lett definitely, in my mind Herd goes before Lett.

  In one way it will be a shame to see TM3 go, because he can always be counted on for some bizarre rant and provides entertainment. Morris, Lett and Herd are the characters of the GB. The 2 new guys look way too sober to provide any real fun.

  And if you try to talk to your old JW friends about it, they will end up shunning you. Then they will tell others in the cong about you, and they will tell others and they will shun you too.

  After giving your youth to the organisaton and turning your back on your dreams and interests, your reward for being honest is to have all of your social network taken off you, including friends you may have had for decades.

  How can any JW that lived through the 80's and 90's and then witnessed first hand all the changes to doctrine that came later, not question their beliefs?

  How did it come to this?

  JW's are conditioned to place loyalty above honesty.
