i had just about decided to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and the issue of the guillain barre syndrome came up.
i realize it's a distant possibility but it gave me pause to reconsider.
i'm not fully onboard with the mrna method yet.. if you received the vaccine ..... which one, and can you share why that one?.

so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.
he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.
he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.
I think Splane sees himself as the Fred Franz of the day. He seems to be the one that gets to deliver the scriptural diatribes.
so all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.
shrinking member, selling halls.
the move to televangelism is really strange to me.
Since they aren't having any special meetings either, I wonder how the "heavies" are existing without the paper handshakes? Go on a speaking assignment and get together with the dub upper-crust and get wined and dined.
some people have thrown their support for the government while others show support for the rebels.
what’s your opinion?.
If they want to protest communism fine, protest away ... peacefully. But as SIlentBuddah said no stopping traffic or blocking roadways. No protestor should be allowed to disrupt the lives of others whether it be Retrumplicans, Hiden Bidens or LGBT folks. I want to travel the roads I helped pay for and it isn't their right to inconvenience me or others.
many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".
.
Building a 'church' hierarchy and belief system on a simple question. Who really is the faithful and discreet slave....? Of course that means the "governing body" can't you see that?
this just popped up this morning in my news briefs.. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2021/06/19/pennsyolvania-turnpike-mon-fayette-expressway-jehovah-s-witnesses-west-mifflin/stories/202106180126.

i have to share.
i went to the supermarket last night and got one item.
i placed the 10 dollar bill on the item.
Had a similar thing happen in a gas station near the house. Went in to prepay because the card scanner wasn't working. Held out my card to the foreign person behind the counter who promptly told me he didn't want the money presented that way put on counter or some such expression. Couldn't understand his English/Hindi. Told him he won't get my money then as I could go across the street to people who weren't so rude, and did that. Mind you I have used this Shell station for years. Called Shell customer service. Never saw the guy again.
someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.
maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.
is this true?
Announcement coming soon:
It was at the 1990 Cedar Point "Somewhere in our dreams" convention that it was pointed out that the works of the modern day locust would soon draw to a close. In that end we see the end of the publishing of the Asleep magazine has now arrived. We rejoice with you in seeing this further understanding carried forth.
don't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.
David LET ME Splane you fancies himself as the modern day Fred Franz I think. Just ask him about the oveflapping (sic) generation(s) he'll give you a complete farcical rundown. Have a drink of Tight Pants Tony's Scotch first.
They have to have the troops in place for indoctrination soon or they will lose control.
