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

  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.

  I was confronted about my informed decision to decline the COVID shot, at this time. I got the "Do you think the GB would all have taken it, if it were not safe? Getting the shot shows respect for life. Getting the shot shows "love" for your fellowman," lines of B.S.

  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. If declining a medical treatment that may save your life does not show respect for life, why not force JW members to take all forms of cancer treatment, even when the cancer is terminal? How does forcing me to submit to any certain medial treatment show love to me on the part of the ones forcing me under threat of "judicial" censorship to submit? I made my decision and now according to scripture I will carry my own load of responsibility. Galatians 6: 5

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

  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.

  Last I heard through the rumor pipeline is that no meetings or convention/assemblies through the end of 2022. Cannot verify that though.

  So IF an individual declines the COVID jab out of concern for potential unknown future side-effects will they be branded as engaging in "brazen conduct" for allegedly defying the secular authorities? Will the elders (I imagine they will) use this an a club over the heads of persons making an informed PERSONAL choice to decline the jab to try to force them to submit? Will the elders and the WT popes accept legal liability for the future health of anyone who against that person's informed choice submits to a forced COVID jab against their better judgement and then suffers detrimental health results? We all know the answers.
  

  While I am not DF'd they can kiss my ass, and DF me if that is the result of my personal choice to decline the jab, at this time.

  Elders who favored family when it came down to appointments for Ministerial Servants and new Elders.

  This /\ /\ /\ and rapid appointments of anyone who had been brought into da troof by and elder. My father who was en elder (in the truest sense of the word) for many years said, "Anyone who says that nepotism or money does not enter into an appointments is either ignorantly naive, or they are a liar." He did not mean on the part of every elder, but as a body.

  In my area there was a contractor who was audited and fined several thousand dollars in each of no less than three cases of tax evasion, engaged in unemployment fraud, screwed around on each of two JW wives, and said all one had to do was confess after the fact, claim a weak moment, and write a big check to the congregation. It must have worked, for him at least, as he is now an elder in one of the central most southern states in the U.S.. And still regularly getting drunk.

  They bragged about the video facilities as being the biggest yet in JW land. Not only that they naturally remembered to do a little begging, If you cannot volunteer to work as free slave labor you CAN donate your $$$$$. D--ned greedy b-----ds!

  good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.

  the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.

  Things could always take another turn for the worse, and they will IF the "powers-that-be" have their way or begin to think the average citizen is getting a little too far from from the government teat.

  JWs will be back in Kingdom Hall’s sooner than we think.

  I know it is only hearsay, but the local JW COBE's wife reportedly said that when the KH opens up again there will be strict restrictions on letting anyone who has made the informed choice to wait to receive the gene therapy shot into the KH. Sounds like another GOOD reason to decline the jab, to me!

  DOW and S&P500 are both down about 2.8% so far today.

  Perhaps this has a little to do with it?

  blonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.

  the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?

  " this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.

  A blond woman was out for an afternoon drive one spring day. As she drove along enjoying the scenery she spied another blond in a row boat out in the middle of a plowed field pulling mightily on the oars . She pulls over onto the shoulder or the road, gets out of her car, and going over to the fence yells,"What in the name of God are you doing?" Second blond yells back, "Can't you see, I am rowing this little boat across this field." First blond yells in reply, "That is so stupid. You cannot do that. And if I could swim I would come out there and kick your ass!"

  Miley looks like a tin-horn dictator with all that crap on his chest. I imagine most of it is "participation" ribbons, like they give in the Special Olympics.
