Covid Vaccine - Which One

by SadElder in

i had just about decided to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and the issue of the guillain barre syndrome came up.

i realize it's a distant possibility but it gave me pause to reconsider.

i'm not fully onboard with the mrna method yet.. if you received the vaccine ..... which one, and can you share why that one?.

Here is some information regarding the J&J Vaccine which seems to be affecting mostly women, and being vaccinated and still getting Covid. You can take it with a grain of salt.

4,115 people have been hospitalized or died with Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated.
The total number of individuals who died after contracting Covid-19 despite vaccination is 750.
76% of hospitalizations and deaths from breakthrough cases occurred in people over the age of 65.

The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown. But two-thirds of patients report symptoms of an infection in the six weeks preceding. These include respiratory or a gastrointestinal infection or Zika virus.

There's no known cure for Guillain-Barre syndrome, but several treatments can ease symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness. Although most people recover from Guillain-Barre syndrome, the mortality rate is 4% to 7%. Between 60-80% of people are able to walk at six months. Patients may experience lingering effects from it, such as weakness, numbness or fatigue.

You know it's a tough decision. I have family who are over 60 years of age. They asked for my opinion. I told them I couldn't give them MY Opinion because I'm 30 and healthy.

If they don't take the vaccine and get covid and die, because of their age, because let's face it, the older you are the weaker your immune system gets, I would feel terrible if I convince them to NOT take it.

On the other hand if I convinced them to take it and they die of blood clots or something else because of the vaccine, I would feel terrible for telling them to take it.

It's really an individual choice and a gamble. People have died for taking the vaccine. And people have died for NOT TAKING THE VACCINE.

There is no doubt that somebody was targeting the elderly and weak of Society.

But I say this, if you are young and healthy-----don't take the vaccine, your immune system can handle it easily.

If I was old, and unhealthy I would take the ONE SHOT only. Not the mRNA two shots. And take my chances. I saw a lot of elderly dying of Covid and it is a painful way to go.

'covid isnt real'

by joey jojo in

im not here to start a debate.. ive heard the above expression countless time over the past year and a half and genuinely want to know what it means.. if you feel this way, do you mean :.

a. there is no covid19 virus?.

b. covid19 is real but not a threat of any kind?.

Several counties in California have already instituted LAW MANDATES that people MUST WEAR MASKS ALL THE TIME. Including all those who TOOK THE VACCINE.

If the Vaccine is suppose to protect you, why do they have to wear a mask?

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?

by minimus in

looting is happening everywhere like never before.

brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.

popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

pistolpete

Walmart sells guns .

bb guns for kids----maybe.

I get a kick of people who have never even visited the USA think you can buy a gun anywhere. I've even seen posts that say many citizens have TANKS in their backyard.

I'm waiting to see who says citizens in the US can buy Nukes.🤣

For Witnesses Who Want To Leave Fade, Disassociate or Get Disfellowshipped?

my opinion is if possible fading is the best way to go..

pistolpete

Just cut the Cord.

Why would you stay for family if family will CUT YOU OFF FOR DECADES if you leave the WT Org?

You only have ONE LIFE to live. Live it knowing it's the only life you will get.

On the other hand for those jws who have spent their entire life in the organization, What's the point of leaving. You were Conned out of your life, so do the best you can with what you got and no regrets.

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.

by pistolpete in

so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.

he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.

he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

On second thought...maybe WT Broadcasting does have a decent Editing Department. Their reasoning for allowing Splane's convention talk could be along the lines of:

'Oh hell...we're in deep shit already...what more harm can his talk cause"!

LOL! 🤣🤣🤣

Its just as well covid isnt real--or we really would be in trouble.

Because a REAL PANDEMIC would be like the Spanish Flu that infected 500 million people world wide and killed about 100 million according to many estimates.

That's 20 Percent died of those infected.

Imagine if a REAL PANDEMIC KILLED 20 PERCENT OF 8 BILLION.

That means about 1,600,000,000 people would have died in a year. And NOT JUST THE ELDERLY. but YOUNG HEALTHY PEOPLE AS WELL, No one would escape and Masks wouldn't help.

Or the Black death that killed according to some about TWO THIRDS OF THE WORLD POPULATION.

The rotting corpses killed several million more and it killed the economy so bad that millions more died of starvation because all the farmers were dead so the survivors had to learn how to plant and harvest. Also it was rare to find a cow or a pig or chickens. The people were so hungry they almost extinct these animals.

He criticizes the worldly court System and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the Organization. He says the Court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied Child sex abusers) are INNOCENT. He is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "God's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

The fact that Splane is doing this talk is proof that the Governing Body is FULLY AWARE, that the CHILD SEX ABUSE EXPOSURE, is the reason many of the members are leaving the organization.

No matter how hard they try, there is always someone in the inside leaking videos or secret letters.

HOW MANY APOSTATES DO YOU THINK THERE ARE IN THE HEADQUARTERS WORLD WIDE?

Working to leak out this information.

When you listen to Splane give his talk, you can see that he knows they are running a cult. He is different from the other GBs.

Tony Morris is just a Ranter. He rants about everything, tight pants are being spread by Homosexuals, don’t marry a brother who isn’t at least a Ministerial Servant, 7 billion people will be Hot Dogs at Armageddon, and on and on.

But Splane, he’s the one who is assigned to give a talk and put the fire out, when the going gets hot.

He was the one who was assigned the talk on the Overlapping Generation.

He is the one assigned to give the talk on War Against the Apostates.

Something else, Splane shows utter CONTEMPT for the U.S. Justice System. He accuses the juries being prejudiced to “Good Looks”, uneducated, and just plain corrupt people.

All this even though there have been many favorable rulings in cases concerning religious freedoms of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Splane even explained in great detail, using bible examples why it’s better to pay an “Implied” accuser of Child sex abuse, than go to court and fight it.

He did this because no doubt they are receiving many letters asking why they are settling with these liars of child sex abuse.

This talk is going to divide jws in two groups.

Those that will become smitten by the Streisand effect and WAKE UP.

And those that know Child Abuse is wrong but choose to go down with the Titanic---BECAUSE WHERE ELSE CAN WE GO!

How would you feel Pete if you were in your 70's and you heard a person say that ?

I've accepted the fact a long time ago that I'm going to grow old and die. I also accepted the fact that I could die in an accident tomorrow or get cancer and die an excruciating death, maybe next year. My girl and I both accepted the fact that sooner or later one of us will die first leaving the other alone to deal with that shit.

You see RM, I was never baptized because I never bought into the idea that humans live forever. I grew up seeing animals die, humans, die, my friends die, my relatives die and it made me aware early in life that I would be here for only a short time.

So it doesn't bother me when someone reminds me that in 40 years I will be 70 and old and close to the end of my course.

Once you accept that with all your heart mind and soul, then it doesn't really bug you as much as someone who was indoctrinated for years that some guy in the sky was going to give you everlasting life. I think that is so cruel to teach people that because once you find out it is not true, it has mental and emotional repercussions. Depending on how long a person believed that.

I am a plumber and worked all through covid in several hospitals. I saw tons of people dying and I saw family members cry because they were not allowed to say goodbye. Is it terrible, ----Yes it is. But there is nothing anyone can do, and believe me a hug, a kind word just won't cut it because I tried so many times and was pushed away. Finally I stopped doing that because - That's just life.We have to accept it.

So if I'm lucky enough to make it to 70 and someone reminds me that I will die soon, I won't get upset. Instead I will have some wonderful memories that will remind me of what a Great life I had.

I got to meet a nice girl-girls actually. Know what it's like to be very well off at 30. Know what's it like to care for children. Have some of the most interesting friends that are there for me. Have tried all kinds of food. Have traveled to all the States in the USA. Getting ready to learn how to fly a helicopter and hope to buy one. Was born with a great body with no defects and no underline medical conditions.

Even if I died tomorrow I would be grateful for what I've experience. Would I like to live longer, of course I would. But that's not how life works.

So no, I would not be upset if I make it to 70 and some young kid reminds me I will die soon. It's the truth. And that kid will experience death also sooner or later. That's just the way it is.
