  in the recent coronavirus scare, masks were promoted as one way to minimise possible infection.

  a study, reviewed yesterday by an english medical commentator, dr john campbell, says, no!.

  watch what he has to say on this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3vy2lyqn1a.. the study he reviews can be found at: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.cd006207.pub6/full.

  When I am actively coughing or sneezing, I wear a mask. Otherwise, no.

  Bait and Switch "Bible studies"

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. bible

  mark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .

  "they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.

  what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.

  Does Jehovah have a visible organization?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  why do jehovah’s witnesses say they are god’s organization so matter of factly as though such an audacious claim is an undisputable fact?

  here is how one person sees this claim.. "the entire jehovah’s witness religion is founded on unsubstantiated hubristic claims which are continually repeated until they are assumed by adherents to be a proven fact.. never is this more evident than when the beliefs of a jehovah’s witness are successfully challenged.

  the more compelling the evidence against them, the more they resort to repeating their convictions with a sense of insistence, as if they are chanting a mantra.. confirmation bias is prevalent in all religious ideologies, but particularly with jehovah’s witnesses.

  Does anyone actually believe that Russia blew up its own gas pipeline?

  by slimboyfat in

  the claim that russia blew up its own pipeline functions, whether intentionally or not, as a test of our collective intelligence, and it’s worrisome how many fail the test.

  as a former pentagon official put it, “a child could tell you that doesn’t make sense”.

  they talk a lot about russian propaganda and suppression of their media, which i don’t doubt for a minute.

  isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?

  or have they stopped publishing it?

  did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

  The abysmal baptism totals from the past 2 years reveal how poorly the JWs are really doing at this time.

  it’s all in person and only fully vaxed can go

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  2. beliefs

  2023 will see a big push to get rank and file back to in person meetings and ministry.

  they have opened a can of worms with zoom but what they really want is only in extreme illnesses cases can someone use zoom .

  the only problem is they want everyone fully vaccinated which means if you didn’t go for your latest booster in the last several months then you are no longer fully vaccinated and just the same as someone who never accepted any shots right from the start.
