Covid19 deaths in the Jehovah's Witnesses

in a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.

strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..
FedUpJW

I changed and added to the quote somewhat, just to represent what I hear eldurrs in my location say. I wonder if they would have the cajones to say that to the face of those who have had relatives die? Nah, not bloody likely!
7,500 JWs have died from Covid-19. Strangely enough, local eldurrs say that, "If we are obedient to the governing body and The Branch and follow their instructions from Gee-HO'-Vuh about masks, isolating ourselves from anyone that does not live in the same home, and staying in our homes except for only the most essential of needs we will be protected from COVID and will not have to suffer the results of exposure."

Are You Satisfied To Let The Government Take Care of You?

some people want limited government involvement in their lives.

the less government, the happier they are.

others feel there’s not enough government intervention.
FedUpJW

I don't need the government to take [care] of me. People need to be responsible for themselves and common good of others.
This /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ times a thousand! I am sorry I could only give you one thumb up.

Nope. Male, but a very strong sense of justice. My daughter was the victim of a JW boyfriend of her mothers.

Has anyone contested a Will and WON????

my jw mom just died last week, about 6 1/2 months after my non jw dad died (dehydration, starvation, imo) i was the executor of that will.

before a month had passed of his death, my dad & mom's will was changed.

i didn't know until she died.
FedUpJW

BTW, if you are named as a beneficiary in the will, the executor is required to provide you with a copy thereof.
Not only a copy of the will, the executor is required to provide a financial accounting of the estate probate to any beneficiary or potential beneficiary who requests the accounting. That includes ALL assets, ALL liabilities, and ALL distribution of the assets.
I recently completed the executor duties for my mother, and am in the multiple year process of doing the same for my father.
If the executor refuses, or can be proved to be hiding or siphoning off resources that is termed breach of fiduciary duty.

Any time a parent cover up for a pedophile they should have their children removed.
There are other things that should be removed, especially from the males. But that's another story.

Being Reinstated

so my brother recently became df.

he has full intentions of being reinstated, but it is going to take at least a year.

if the end times occurs while he is df, will he still be allowed in the kingdom of god?.
FedUpJW

@ carla - Good references, however one really shouldn't try to use the Bible to reason with a JW. The old, worn out "reasoning" that I always heard spouted by the eldurrs was, "Originally in the time of Israel Gee-HO'-Vuh mandated that sinners be stoned to death. Being disfellow-shipped is the modern day parallel. Only unrepentant sinners get disfellow-shipped, so while they may not be literally dead, they are the same as dead in the eyes of Gee-HO'-Vuh and his worshipers. Unrepentant sinners will never be resurrected, and until reinstated the sinner is not repentant. So there will be no resurrection for them as Gee-HO'-Vuh has already judged them when holy spirit directed the eldurrs that they be disfellow-shipped."
I know, pretty warped sense of importance by the leaders.

I have been out of the cult for 10 years now! What is their latest stance on Vaccines or the Covid-19 Vac? Any insiders?

i used to be very active on this board - 14 years ago (redpill2006...still remember blondie, barbara and many others).

then left the cult for good 10 years ago (ex-bethelite, ex-elder).

today, after so many years, i decided to come back because there is an issue that is nagging in my mind.

"Medical care is a matter for personal decision. We do not attempt to make choices for others."
Except when WE change the term "choice" to "governing body 'guidelines'. Then they are orders, and you WILL obey or die at Armageddon!

it’s already happening .

biden was officially named president-elect yesterday.

i think trump exhausted all of his avenues to keep the presidency.

she still would be President of the United States.
In name perhaps. Under their watch this country will become Amerizuela.
