  Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

  here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

  it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

  Vidqun and Bartolomeo - I agree it is vital to think things through yourself. When people learn arithmetic, you learn HOW to do the calculation. It is called MATHS.

  Jesus' disciples in Greek were called the MATHETE. It is where we get the word 'maths' from.

  There is a saying, "there are lied, damn lies and statistics."

  If an orchard owner has 1536 trees which yielded 263504 apples this year, you have to be a real expert at apples, with a lot of time on your hand to go and check those figures. Or check any calculations/stats run of the back of those figures.

  Regarding the health data and stats - how many people could check the truth of the statistics?

  I was in the UK Health services as an IT Developer. I know I was passed made up data. When I challenged the team which passed me this nonsense, I was raged at. In the end I handed in my notice because my job was being made impossible to do. This was a few years before the 'pandemic.' Incidentally I was told (by a fellow team member) that the entire IT team had long since given up doing their jobs because they had been hamstrung. This chap sat beside a broken window, there were electric cables that ran through the walls beside him. When it rained, the rain came through onto the inner walls. It had been like that for well over 12 months. Nothing got done about it.

  Mike - yes, exactly. This is why people should be urged to leave. Their lives are in danger from lying propaganda and social engineering that can ultimately kill them.

  Father of lie and manslayer comes to mind.

  It really wont matter what you say to the elders. Even if they silently agree with you, they will not express their views for fear of GB and losing their status.

  BH - Your post suggests that you are struggling to accept it. Fact is not everyone is trustworthy, even when they hold positions of significant trust and others look up to them.

  from the houston chronicle.

  isn't it wonderful how jws don't judge anyone and love everyone?.

  jehovah’s witnesses have restarted their door-to-door ministry after more than two and a half years on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, reviving a religious practice that the faith considers crucial and cherished.. from coast to coast, members of the christian denomination fanned out in cities and towns thursday to share literature and converse about god for the first time since march 2020.. in the jamaica plain neighborhood on the south side of boston, dan and carrie sideris spent a balmy morning walking around knocking on doors and ringing bells.

  I wonder how they will enjoy the new kinds of conversations they will be having. First stop will be to determine how the householder would like to be addressed. Especially if they identify as a genderless, toothless bird, with teeth.

  I see they are talking about a 'changed world' - is this the precursor to a new idea about Jesus having come/not come/arrived/not arrived/been present invisibly since 2014? 100 years after WT said he'd come for the 2nd time without coming because he'd been invisibly present since 1914 and they were expecting him to arrive anytime soon from just around the corner.

  Jan - why do ask whether or not I am a JW - and what do you mean by a Jehovah's Witness anyway? I do not see that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Soc (which identifies as Jehovah's Witnesses), has any real connection to the Jehovah's Witnesses spoken of in the book of Isaiah. Maybe you disagree. But the simple answer to your question is I am Christian but I am no longer a member of the Watchtower.

  What about yourself are you a member of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

  Mike - One elder I knew had to plead for understanding when he explained that his pregnant wife was not vaccinated. Pleading for understanding... that she should not be given an experimental drug which could harm their unborn child. He was polite, gentle and humble about it but you could sense how worried he was.

  Put it like this, the law exists to maintain the STATUS QUO, justice is what you get from Almighty God.
