  JW current stance on Vaccines?

  by lcarter017 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it came to my attention that the covid-19 vaccine works by editing the genetic code of the mitochondrial dna, using gene therapy.. you should seriously question the moral implications of allowing a part of your dna to be modified.

  does anyone have any concerns about this?if anyone has any questions, i can do my best to explain.

  i personally find it very suspicious how they chose to word it, and conveniently inform us of this fact "after" people have taken the vaccine..

  "Well, given that it is a sin to harvest blood instead of pouring it on the ground, somebody is directly responsible to God for the sin of not disposing of the blood that is ultimately used to make vaccines and other products."

  
  

  
  The idea of an omnipotent universe creator getting his panties in a wad over such minutia is ridiculous.
  
  "These short lived microbes on a tiny rock I created violated my arbitrary rule and I can feel my metaphorical bile rising to my metaphorical throat!"
  
  ....because I have nothing better to do with unlimited power and literally all the time in the universe.

  Poor metabolic health increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

  it’s all a big fat lie.

  more precisely a big low-fat, high-carbohydrate lie.. 'it took dr. paul marik 12 weeks to prove that conventional wisdom about dieting is a lie, and that was just to himself.

  he lost 35 pounds, and cured himself of type 2 diabetes.

  "Fat is not the enemy. Inuit eat mostly fat and have no heart disease."
  
  It's also been suggested that for them its a genetic adaptation over many generations. But regardless, i eat a decent amount of salmon and stuff like that. I suppose that's not low fat. But it's also not the same as bacon every morning and a ribeye twice a week.

  JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.

  he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.

  he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

  "Basically grew into a packaged teaching that solidified in the 1920's during the Rutherford area. That alone makes it suspect for being totally wrong."
  
  I thought CT Russell was the brains behind the 607/1914 nonsense...Is that not correct?

  there are many types (group) of aliens (and their ufos) , 4 at least .

  they (2 types at least) live here (on earth) , by god's permission , long before we are here

  1 (at least) type of alien is extra-terestrial by origin

  I think the only sensible thing to do without being constantly confused by the latest diet advice is to eat mostly veg, fruit and lean meat like fish or chicken.
  
  I almost never eat bacon, but I do love a BLT in the summer when my homegrown tomatoes get ripe.

  Wimbledon's attitude to Russian/Belorussian players ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  ... is absolutely ridiculous.. last year, 2022, russian and belorussian tennis players were banned from wimbledon.

  let that just sink in.

  if you were a pro tennis player, and happened to be a russian or belorussian citizen, the all england club decided that you could not compete at their annual grass tournament.. let's explore that particular brand of discrimination and lunacy further.

  "Fun fact II: the Nazi party copied a lot of their racist belief system from the US democratic party, but decided to tone it down because they thought it was a bit too strong. Think about that."
  
  And in 1968, the southern democrat wing of the party (the voters you speak of), being angered by the 1964 Civil Rights Act were welcomed with open arms (courted actually) into the Republican Party as loyal voters where they remain.
  
  The south was known as the "solid south" since the civil war, then in 1964 it flipped to Republican. Gee....I wonder why.... ..🙄

  "classic Hegelian dialectic."
  
  
  
  I'm scratching my head a bit at the bizarre mental hoops you're jumping through to link Hegel and this thread topic. I'm pretty sure you just got a kick out of getting a chance to use "Hegelian" in a sentence.

  If a Republican attains the label of RINO, it's usually because of an endorsement of some left-wing policy - like wokism. Or more crony capitalism. They wouldn't be "far" right if they just got a "boo" from a crowd?
  
  Its not just that. Goldwater voted against the 1964 civil rights act. In fairness, he had voted in favor of previous acts but voted against 1964 for minutia reasons. I'm not even claiming he caused it. Just where the current climate we live in got its start. If you wanna go way back.
