  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??

  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?? Most of these are mind altering drugs to varying degrees, not to mention the anti depressants and hormone treatments which are very commonly used.

  And what about food colourings and additives which are known to cause hyperactivity and even stimming in children especially. Mind altering substances.

  Illegal drugs are of course well known to cause hallucinations and even permanent brain damage.

  As the verse above says, are we all being deceived?!

  It seems like too many coincidences for my liking.

  I welcome polite debate on the subject!

  Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Ireland is listed on solocheck.ie as a company, not a charity.

  Is that significant or meaningless?

  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  by liam in

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  The worst thing about COVID was how so many people very comfortably played God by demanding that others have themselves injected with an experimental drug, using coercion, emotional blackmail, and downright bullying tactics to get their own way.

  And they would happily do it all over again.

  Satan's spirit is strong in those people, may God help them.

  The Question of the "Great Apostasy" and the Historical Continuity of Christianity

  by aqwsed12345 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. the continuity and visibility of the church.

  the true church must be continuous from the apostolic age.

  there is no room in christianity for a "gap" or interruption of thousands of years during which true christianity ceased to exist and then was revived in the form of another movement.

  'By this all will know (even the angels will know) that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves ' , quick Google shows that JWs are not known for that reason at all, I don't know anyone non JW who has ever noted that about JWs, it's always about knocking on doors and blood. I do know of individuals who are motivated by love, but as a group, that's not the case.

  Love is not the identifying trate that sets them apart as wheat from weeds.

  Where Adam and Eve Vegan/Vegetarian?

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws seem to firmly believe that before the flood mankind eas vegan or at least vegetarian.. however, in gen 1:24,25 it says that god created livestock (domestic animals) and beasts of the eart (wild beasts).. why would adam and eve need livestock if they were vegan and naked?

  wouldn't need wool or hide for clothing, nor meat for food.

  possibly for dairy products only?

  Their great tribulation could well be when they go broke due to the CSA payouts or the loss of their charity status.....or both.

  this was one of the craziest things i remember about the summer conventions.

  i would go into the sister's bathrooms and the mirrors would all be taped up with brown paper so that we couldn't look at our reflections.

  were were amish or something?

  Women's queues are longer simply because they don't only use toilets for Nr1 and Nr2, they also menstruate and need to use the facilities to change pads, tampons or cups. Duh
