  Has any one of your JW family gotten a call from elders about vaccinations?

  by pistolpete in

  one of my jw uncles got a call last night and was asked how many in his extended family have not taken the vaccine and he needed names.. a letter was sent to elders but it is dated the 27 which was yesterday, so i'm not sure it has anything to do with the letter.

  but my uncle said the elder was coming down hard on him for not knowing who hasn't taken the vaccine.

  he implied that not taking the vaccine "could" warrant judicial action.

  My answer was that in accord with the Bible I was exercising my "free will" to make an informed personal decision about what medical treatments I would accept or decline. *** w13 1/15 p. 28 par. 3 Christian Elders—‘Fellow Workers for Our Joy’ *** After all, present-day elders are not the masters over their brothers’ faith.

  I think this is just a "Local" thing.

  Here is the letter that was leaked yesterday.

  SB, you know there is also tons of videos where they ask Christians to PROVE that the Bible is inspired of God.

  Besides giving a tons of anecdotes,----- none of them could give any proof that the Almighty God inspired ancient men who lived thousands of years ago, to write down God's thoughts on a number of little books that contradict each other.

  The absolute proof would be for God himself to speak out----but instead SILENCE!
  

  If evolutionist can't give absolute proof of evolution, neither can Christians give ABSOLUTE PROOF that the the bible is inspired of God.

  Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?

  by eyeslice in

  i've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.

  i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.

  on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

  Where to flee Covid mandates and restrictions?

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the moment there does not seem to be any place to flee to from covid mandates and restrictions.

  we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.

  but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?

  How's that gun ban working out for you now, Aussies? They can't even have an uprising, even if they wanted one, because they are unarmed SHEEPLE.

  We Warned them didn't we! They let the liberals take over with their ideology. Now the Dictatorship is in place for the next thousand year reign.

  The theory is that there will be a lot of frustrated single lonely men

  NOPE!

  Here is what is actually happening. All my friends who vary in age between 24-32 years of age are single, either millionaires or just very well off. None of them want to get married. None of them want kids. To insure no mistakes happen-(vasectomies)

  Why in the hell would a Successful Male - single millionaire want to invite the government into his relationship with women by getting legally married??

  There is no lack of single beautiful women who are willing to date my friends. Every day some girl turns 18. They have enough money to fly to any State and meet up with any girl and spend a day, week, month, with these gorgeous women.

  The culture of getting married, having a bunch of kids, raising them till they are 26-30 - or more just doesn't make sense anymore to our generation.

  And in the majority of cases the children of couples are ungrateful or just go out into the world to start their own families---which is the way it's supposed to be.

  On top of this, The average marriage length in the US is 8.2 years. And 44.6% of marriages end in divorce. So if one of my friends whose net worth is 10 million that he built himself, and he gets married to a girl whose net worth is 0.00 - and she divorces him in one year and has one child----and maybe the child is not his, the laws on divorce favors the woman and she automatically gets Half or more of his net worth for one year of marriage. NOT WORTH IT.

  Plus I've met 80 year old millionaires who have been single all their life, and avoiding the stress of marriage and kids, they look like they are 40 years old. Plus they are never lonely. Some of them pay for High escorts girls who are of legal age.

  So no, there is no reason for single men to be frustrated and lonely.

  Serious Question: Are You Hearing About Anyone With The Flu Anymore or A Cold?

  by minimus in

  for years everyone was told they had to get the flu shot.

  because the flu was dangerous and it could even kill you.

  now, hardly anyone talks about the flu or having a cold.

  I cancelled my gym membership and am never going again.

  Yea I did that a long time ago. I started building my own home gym years ago. Come to find out you don't need much for a home Gym.

  A power rack, some weights, a punching bag for cardio----and the most important thing-----Persistence and Consistency. 💪

  Let's be real, The Watchtower Religion is DONE. They only exist for the sake of the last generation of True Believers who have sacrifice their entire life for the Organization. The WT is continuing to receive donations from these believers and await their death so as to pass on their assets to the organization.

  Once they are All gone--in the next 30 years, (meaning those 60 and above) The Watchtower Organizations will, (TRANSFORM INTO SOMETHING ELSE)

  I will hopefully still be around to see it, I will be about 60 years old when that happens)

  I personally, think that we just don't know enough to even know what we don't know with this virus.

  But I should say... to me COVID isn't much different than the flu. Both could kill me. In fact there are so many things that can kill me that it is just one more to add to a very long list.

  THIS!

  Totally agree.

  I got Covid, got mildly uncomfortably for a couple of hours and that was it. Why? Maybe because I am young and and strong. MAYBE NOT!

  I agree that even the experts and scientists know very little about this virus. I think the best we can do is washed our hands regularly, wear gloves when I needed, wear a mask when around people, avoid large gatherings, and distance yourself from people as much as possible. And try to stay as healthy as possible. By this I mean don't allow yourself to get overweight because a lot of the victims of Covid were obese.
