  Sorcery = Pharmakeia

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  rev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.. the interlinear for sorceries reads pharmakeia.. bible hub has some interesting definitions, i'll try to share screenshots below.

  the gist of it is that sorcery involves drugs/medicines/poisons, with or without spells, sorcery is not the same as witchcraft or divination, or white/black magic.

  i have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.. considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, nsaids with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, i wonder am i going mad, are these all coincidences??

  Modern medicine is a fascinating research project. I would say that medication and forms of vaccination are created on the basis of one purpose: commercialism. It is true that "money makes the world go round". Religion survives through commercialism. Studies surrounding education on evolution survive through commercialism. Cancer research survives through commercialism. Modern technology survives through commercialism. Holidays such as Christmas and Halloween survive through commercialism. Big pharma survives through commercialism. And even food and drink survives through commercialism, because most humans would not have the capability of collecting and providing their own food and drink from the ground up in this modern era. We are entirely dependent on big businesses, the Banks, as well as governments, to provide us with the veneer that the availability of good medication means the world is getting better, when in fact the world has always been the same, human lifespan has generally remained unchanged. The only thing that has really changed is the degree of greed humans exhibit.

  Listen obey and get vaxed

  by JohnR1975 in

  the truth is most active jws would probably agree that most of the teachings are not right, the new thing is that we just don’t know.. the governing body now say they get things wrong and make mistakes as they are not inspired and not infallible.

  yet they are still to be trusted no matter what?.

  they are not trusted.

  KerryKing,

  That is unbelievable and blasphemous! A visiting speaker using the analogy of getting vaccinated as if it were comparable with the life-saving sacrifice of our Lord Jesus? Medications are not without potential health risks. Clearly, the speaker was unaware of the Thalidomide scandal.

  Interesting cover up. Makes me sick to read.

  Notice this paragraph.

  It was the “tipping point” for Rowena Pailing, who quit as the cathedral’s vice-dean and head of safeguarding, ending a nearly 20-year career with the Church of England.

  “I couldn't work for an organisation which put its own reputation and the protection of alleged abusers above the protection and care and listening to victims and survivors,” she tells the BBC, speaking publicly for the first time about the case.

  Oh how such a comment describes the jw organization! We need more balanced articles like this published exposing the org rather than the unstable and off-putting articles some exjws write for the media. This is more professional and subtle!

  Current UK circuit overseers by area

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower

  i have been reading through old threads discussing circuit overseers from the past.

  i saw a photo of a list from the mid 2000s someone took at london bethel, which was helpful for that time.

  i'm extremely interested in compiling a list of current circuit overseers from across the uk, seeing that the circuits had a massive change in recent years.

  Wow. This means that Sam Herd is heading on for the ripe age of 90!

  I was reading Barbara Anderson's account of when an anonymous GB member (likely Ted Jaracz) sent out direction to well known travelling overseers in 1994 to silence abuse victims and threaten them with disfellowshipping.

  I looked more closely at the article, and it appears that this was originally written in the early 2000s. The writer made note Barbara stated that as she and her husband were thumbing through files in their colleague's office at WHQ, they found the numerous letters of great upset coming through from CSA victims. One thing she stated was that one of those travelling overseers who loyally followed this directive now serves on the Governing Body. Now, I am wondering if this was either Samuel Herd, David Splane or Stephen Lett as they were all appointed to the GB post 1994 and pre 2005 onwards when the next gen GB members started appearing.

  Who told the first lie?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?

  god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.

  in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.

  If the Garden of Eden was a myth because a serpent spoke, why are we missing an obvious fact? Eve had the first case of schizophrenia! It's bloody obvious!
