as a non vaccinated person you represent a health risk to your fellow workers

Still waiting for someone to logically and intelligently explain exactly how that works. IF the COVID jab is so safe and is the "silver bullet" as it seems to be claimed by the jab proponents then it should not matter to the 'vaccinated' person how someone who has adopted a wait and see strategy is any kind of danger to the COVID jabbed person.

So far it seems that the only alleged benefit to taking the jab is that when you catch the next variant you might not get quite as sick. And there are a number of stories out there now that indicate a jabbed person can transmit the virus just as readily as anyone else.

Imagine if you will a virus that is so deadly you have to be tested to know if you have it, and a "vaccine" that is so safe you have to be threatened to get it.

@frozen2018 - you make a valid point, regardless of anyone who disagrees. IF the COVID jab is so safe as the government claims and Big Pharma claims, then let them put their $$$$$ where their mouths are and assume ALL financial liability for any and all side effects as you said.

Of course they won't, just as sure as their will be thumbs down for my comment.

“Well at least he doesn’t make mean tweets”

i asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.

he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.

he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.

FedUpJW

"you kill them, you kill their families, you kill their friends and you kill their goats." That's what it takes but civilized Western countries will never do it.

And that is exactly the trouble between today's U.S. conservatives and "woke" democrats. The conservatives do not seem to have the cajones to get down in the mud and get dirty to do anything, because "mean tweets" hurt the other sides precious little feelings.

BTW Min. we both better be careful or someone will say they don't like us, or this site anymore.

Divorcing a wife

by road to nowhere in

the part in the meeting this week about jehovahs loving provisions for women.

all about the certificate of divorce and remarriage.

my wife wondered where the provision was for a wife with a rotten husband.

FedUpJW

Once you understand that, then a lot of the misogynistic laws in the OT make more sense.

And couple that with the fact that WT believes they are still living in the year 2,000 BC.

Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

FedUpJW

Overweight witnesses? I got chewed out for mentioning that we could triple our meeting attendance and publisher count if only we would count publishers by the pound instead of just as individuals. I guess though that when one suffers through all the condamnation that WT heaps upon individuals they need to find comfort somewhere, and for many it is food or alcohol.

Support widows

this weeks meeting part.

boy did they miss it while a hug is nice a scripture will not mow the yard, fix a flat, or pay the bills.

This has always been a sore spot for me. Especially as I have been settling my parent's financial matters after their deaths.

I have found many records of financial help my parents gave. And they are not just a few dollars (US) at a time. In one case it was well over $20,000.00. On one occasion my father mentioned in an elder meeting that a sister needed some financial help and all except one other elder and my father refused any help.

My parents did not restrict their help to just JW's either as most of the very few who do help do. My parents read a news article about a homeless couple whose three year old daughter had died and they could not afford a proper funeral. My parents paid the entire cost of final preparation and the services. Their only condition of doing so was that it not be revealed WHO had helped. The records of cash flow my father kept are how I found out.

Unfortunately I was not able to make all the legal changes in where they willed money before they died and WT got a pot load of money. And the greedy b-----ds could only find themselves able to write a letter asking if that was all they were going to get, or if I had more to send.

WT never has, never does, an never will let cash flow any other way except up.

in one form or another i've been a member of this site for almost 10 years.

in the past this was a great place for debate, news and support for ex jws.

i logged on several times a day and posted several times a week.

FedUpJW

I don’t care about ANYONE’S political beliefs or opinions.

Isn't it terrible to be forced to read opinions or comments you do not like? There ought to be a law against permitting discussion of any subject we do not like to read or hear about, and preventing people from posting any comment that we do not agree with.

Strange thing, every person who posted on this site and then bitched about subject matter and went off in a huff has yet to start their own site where they could control the content.

Electric Vehicles ... or Auto Unions?

by Simon in

apparently biden had an electric vehicle summit earlier this week.. tell me the first name that comes to mind when it comes to electric vehicles?.

tesla ... right?

they have practically defined the segment after all.. but which company wasn't invited to biden's electric vehicle summit?.

FedUpJW

These guys just lowered their car gas bill to nothing, that saving is now going to the financial loan/lease for those vehicles

Enlighten us who wonder where the electricity to power these vehicles comes from. How is it generated? How are the batteries manufactured? How are they disposed of and where when they eventually fail, as they are sure to do? Sure they cut the gas bill to next to nothing, but electricity is not free no matter how one slices that piece of bologna. What is the cost of replacing batteries?

What’s Your Prediction For Covid & Its Consequences?

by minimus in

will we close down again?

will we be masked forever?

will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?

FedUpJW

Will we close down again? Will we be masked forever? Will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?

Easy questions to answer. As long as there are government rulers who love power, and hate the people; YES to all three questions. As long as there are enough gullible, useful idiots who believe government has all the answers and that the subjects must follow the government orders; YES.

I guess we’ll find out in the next few months which way it will go.

And that is why I choose to wait and see.

Optimum human Order, the Olympics

by waton in

anybody watching the olympics here?

bodies perfected, minds steeled against pain?

amazing performances in sailing, running, jumping, throwing.

FedUpJW

Anybody watching the Olympics here?

Nope! Not one little bit. Reminds me of what I told a self-important JW who competed in horse shows. "A horse show is only an event where horses show off their asses, to horses asses, showing off their horses!" Olympics are pretty much in the same category of interest to me.
