the following is an urgent email message (except i deleted mention of my name and links which might include information about me,) i received from american atheists regarding the need to get the covid-19 vaccine.. ".
for months, we've thought that vaccine rates have been incredibly strong among our community..
for example, a pew poll in march found that 90% of atheist respondents indicated they'd already received the first vaccine dose or would "definitely" or "probably" seek the shot..
Ironically the most vaccinated group in the US is the Jewish American and also the most educated. Gee, I wonder if there is some kind of connection.
The whole making reference to the holocaust and how Jews were treated in WW2 when discussing vaccine passports and restrictions must be super insulting.
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?
I came a hall where a bunch of them got their stomach stapled and they all lost a lot of weight in a big hurry but it made them look like they were dying of cancer instead of healthy living. They all seemed to all have this very morbid glow about them.
I actually knew a few people in the community who asked me " How much time does Mr.Doe have to live, sorry to hear about your friend. ".
Too funny
sorry if i shouldn't be posting this, i am not jw however i have had past experiences with jw's and was learning a lot about the religion, in hopes to convert one day.
it all ended suddenly and i guess i feel guilty for not learning more, i would get scared at the thought of bible studies and discussions in case it brought back memories.
i was looking for any advice on the best ways i can find out more please.
Jesus invisibility return in 1914 and in 1919 the watchtower was picked by god as the only true Christian denomination.
Jesus only died for the faithful slave which use to mean the 144 but now means 8 men called the governing body. You can’t be born again but as luck would have it though your works and obedience to these magical seven wizards and joining this super cool club , you can live forever on paradise earth.
Better yet if you can’t live up to this works based salvation you can always commit suicide and get a free trip and do over in paradise . Just make sure you off yourself before Armageddon or your fucked.
FYI if you ever try to leave or find it it’s a ridiculous cult your friends and family will never talk to to ever again.
Did I miss anything ?

You could have learned a new language or mastered the guitar in that time. Hell, you could have built a whole African village.

How about we all go to some Ted Nugent message board or Fox News message board and start 50 threads each day about the Jehovah Witness experience and see how it goes over.
Like really, you can't figure why you people might turned off by the constant " Obama eats aborted babies " " Biden bathes in the blood of virgins ". Its not even intelligent political discussion, its just the lowest common denominator nonsense. Its hard to tell when the Fox news ends and the Onion begins sometimes.
It would actually be funny if it wasn't do dam dangerous.

When my son was born , I had not been active for a number of years. No one made an issue about it because I told them to stay away from me and my side of the family were not JWs. My wife who is active gets the bright idea she wants to show over her new baby boy to one of the elders. I told her it, I thought it was a bad idea but just came along to basically try and protect my family. We get there and holy shit, there are three of them waiting for us. I just walked into an ambush.
We were not there for more than five minutes and it was " do you believe in the trinity , do you believe hell is a literal place " etc etc. Every unique dogma and legalization of the WTS, they wanted to have a fight about. I was known to be kind of a mouth piece in the meetings.
Meanwhile, My poor wife is sitting there wanting to show off this new bundle of joy. Just heartbroken. I was " lets go ", this is not appropriate.
My point being , its not really appropriate to flood this board with right wing nonsense and politics. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You would think there would be more suitable websites to hang out at. At the rate this place is going it will be nothing be the 12 members of the Montana Militia and that is too bad.
this is a confidential letter for all full time servants like cos, regular pioneers, bethel and branch workers so please don't tell anyone about this.. reminder 20,000 jws have died of covid and 99% of those who died or were hospitalized in the united states branch territory were not vaccinated, so whose fault is that???.
my question, how did they get the information that all these 20,000 jws were not vaccinated?.
hint; if you want to continue to share in spiritual privileges--------------------get vaccinated.
natural immunity
LoL
Ask the 600,000 dead Americans about their " natural immunity " to the virus.
To be fair, no one has ever accused active JWs of being that smart.
in my opinion, in a body of elders let’s say with 7 elders , 2 or 3 were pretty much on the ball.
they were reasonable, intelligent and moderate.
the others were either extremely extreme about everything or very liberal.. did you have qualified older men or were they all lousy to you?
I just found most halls to be lead by one or two somewhat intelligent narcissists, surrounded by half retarded yes men. I mean, just the dumbest of the dumb.
Qualified ? I am not really sure what that means.
Theology trained bible teachers ? No
Guidance counselors, dealing with the issues of suicide, divorce, mental health ? Good god no.
Cleaning experts ? Carpets, windows, bathrooms ? Yes.

After spending a lifetime of being indoctrinated about the dangers of worldly people and the villainization of ex-members , its hits kind of a raw nerve hearing about the dangers of people wanting come to America to work shitty jobs no one else wants to work. Or the people who spent a lifetime hearing about the dangers of higher education suddenly seem to know more than all the worlds scientists and doctors.
For all the people who saying , if you don't like it , just scroll past it need to realize.
1. Your constant circle jerk is annoying as hell to scroll past each day. Its like deleting scam from your email.
2. Its literally driving people away from the board which has been an amazing resource in helping people escape the WT and S.
