  Why would the org want to know on record if a disfellowshipped or disassociated person is deceased? That is really bizarre

  Anti vaccines

  by blisterfeet in

  2. experiences

  i personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

  there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.

  what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

  As a child I ended up with red measles, german measles, chicken pox, mumps, whooping cough and roseola. Parents were dead against getting vaccines. Next time I'm at the docs I will ask if I can get these again or can adults still get the vaccines as to what they got as kids. Just curious. Our neighbor had gotten his flu shot and they didn't know what had caused his paralysis from head to toe. It was so bad they had to tape his eyes shut at night so they wouldn't dry out. In the end he ended up with Guillain-Barre syndrome. It wasn't until months and months later they connected his guillian-barre syndrome with the flu shot. He's highly allergic to the flu shot as he found out. Today he is back to normal but for sure you can get Guillain-Barre syndrome from it. The specialists told him he was very lucky that it started in his feet first and spread upwards. If the syndrome starts in the head and works down it could have killed him. He had also gotten an out of court pay settlement from the drug company

  Yes, I was once a joho who was told we were the only ones that had the truth, the only ones that would make it out alive, the only ones that god chose as his organization here on earth, the only ones that would inherit his paradise on earth, the only ones that the 144,000 would come from and so on. So I guess that would make us saved, right??

  But unlike most religions we didn't have to be treated like shit and threatened in order to be saved!!!

  Here's another comment we had heard one time from a CO: The reason why some are pioneering is because the others are not as spiritual as we are. I wanted to walk out then and should have!

  Prayer BANNED for Public Talks in KH's...

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ........back in 1949!.

  w50 3/15 p. 96 letters - "jesus held many public lectures, but there is no record that he opened or closed any of them with prayer....surely those of the public who are not of the christian faith do not turn out to our meetings in order to join with us in prayer to our god, but solely to hear the speech which is the drawing feature.

  so we give them that and do not think to impose upon them by attaching something else to the lecture which might offend or stumble them before they hear the speech they came for.

  Unbelievable! Wish there were more posts like this posted. It's posts like these that will make the jws want to do more research. It did us and we know for a certainty there are others that are in doing the same.

  Thanks Fall Guy for your research and hard work. Hopefully others will do the same.

  Does that mean you discontinue your studies with your children? What about those fifteen minute studies? What about those doorstep studies? Just maybe they have too many "studies" on their hands and want to keep all their wannabe studies and get rid of their potential studies.

  My highlights from GB member Jackson's ARC testimony

  nice to review how one of the "faithful snakes" slithered when he was captive to being questioned.. at 40 seconds, he is asked to swear an oath - and he swears on the bible.

  obviously jesus' words slipped his mind: matthew 5:34-37 - "however, i say to you: do not swear at all, neither by heaven.....nor by earth,.... just let your word ‘yes’ mean yes, your ‘no,’ no, for what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

  Fall Guy, excellent job and well done. It's posts like this that will draw lurkers away and want to research more. Always loved your posts and many others who are not posting anymore.

  When I watched this video I didn't realize the flaws until you pointed them out. I guess I need to be more spiritually critical and keep on the watch as they would claim. Keep up the great work, my friend:)
