Covid 19 Vaccine at Bethel?

by Iamallcool in

jw
friends

is it a requirement for all bethelites to take the shots?

just wondering!

.

Fine to take a vaccine that is extremely dangerous and may protect you from catching a cold (or not), but not to take a blood transfusion that is potentially dangerous but could save your life. The blood transfusion risks are mostly compatibility issues and potential for getting a disease. The vaccine risks are far less manageable, and include autoimmune diseases of every type (including type 1 diabetes), cancer, and poor fertility.

Plus, there is evidence of second-hand vaccination. People that get the torture shot shed spike proteins that infect others, spreading this vaccine from person to person. (And not just as in getting super coronavirus, either.) They disfellowship people for smoking based on that second-hand smoke effect, but they won't for taking the vaccine that has even worse second-hand effects.

Jesus Creates a Monster

i recently found this image of jesus, with a caption, a reminder of past stupidity in believing that kind, loving jesus, would (on behalf of old yhwy) look after me when he 99% of the people on this earth.. .

in case you're wondering i found it on a pinterest page.. proverbs 8, of course.

personifies wisdom - and the passages are controversial and the subject of some academic analysis (e.g.

WTWizard

And what about smaller animals that do even more damage? I refer to such as fleas, mosquitoes, and all those viruses that just cause disease without doing any good. (And this thing they call god is no better than those parasites.) Even going as far as to steal all pagan entities to create this fictitious jesus thing, just to serve as the archetype of the perfect slave.

And now, we are all becoming just like this fictitious thing called jesus. This is the source of all political correctness, all willful stupidity, and ultimately your enslavement under communism.

israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.

evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..

Get ready for the Draft. You thought the 1973 oil embargo was bad? Compared to all resources going to this war, I expect 1973 to be a picnic. Besides the Draft, I expect shortages that will make the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020 look like plenty, and it will be on all goods. All because we go in and help a nation that we have no business lifting a finger to help.

And they will criminalize criticism of this.

Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?

by JWTom in

jw
friends

i realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.

but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.

many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

WTWizard

And when they go back to normal, they will lose those precious snow days. If there is a blizzard, instead of canceling the boasting session, they simply use Zoom. The worst of both worlds. What is there to not hate?

What is your status (as of today) as a Jehovah's Witness?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

WTWizard

I believe that not only do they not follow the bible that they claim to have the monopoly in abiding by, but that the bible itself is a book of curses that is intended to ruin the whole planet. And we are near the finish--between mandatory diabetes shots (the coronavirus shots), World War III, the dollar becoming toilet paper at some point after they are finished luring everyone and their dogs into the stock market, race wars that are going to be worse than the riots of the 1960s plus the 2020 riots put together, and the environment being trashed while they argue that people need to go.

Obviously, I do not want to go back to pushing this book of curses that has already ruined my prospect of ever having a happy future.

U.S. Announcement at CLAM w/o March 3 - Donation of Trailers Needed

by JWTom in

jw
friends

at our clam meeting this past week there was a rather lengthy announcement asking for the donation of travel trailers.

needed to be at least 22 feet long and not older than a 2005 model year.

lots of other details were in the announcement about what was desired related condition of the trailer, etc.

WTWizard

No older than 2005 model? How about a 1905 model that is in perfect condition? They don't deserve anything--not even a 2021 Chinese junk model in wretched condition that is 22 nanometers long. Not to mention, people need the money from selling a travel trailer (or perhaps to live in it, whether on vacation or because of pending evictions) more than the washtowel deserves them.

$15.00 minimum wage

by hoser in

jw
friends

while we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.

pros and cons?.

WTWizard

It is all relative. I don't care how much the number is--how many toilet papers per hour it is. I care about how much can you buy with it. In a world where the cost of comfortable living is in the area of a few cents per month, $1 per hour would be a fortune. If one square of toilet paper costs a sextillion dollars (and not even during a shortage), a billion "dollars" per hour would be a miserably poor wage.

And, with every "minority" group demanding free stuff under threat of riots, our taxes are going way up. In addition, productivity will go down by the amount they would have produced, leaving all that money chasing fewer goods (inflation). You are asking for very high inflation at least, and if trust in the dollar totally breaks down, hyperinflation. In that event, 15 toilet papers per hour is going to be nothing.

4th Stimulus Check? (USA)

by Iamallcool in

jw
friends

do you think there will be another round of stimulus checks?

.

WTWizard

I think they will keep throwing money around--to waste bringing the stock market to false record highs (when it deserves to be at zero). You get a bit, the big companies get a huge amount. (And Google deserves it about as much as we need another round of mandatory vaccines with permanent face masks required.) Companies like Walmart, GE, Amazon, Google, and the likes do not need bailouts or "stimulus", and neither do the big banks that are siphoning our money away.

And neither do the churches. Those foul things can rot, and the world would be that much better when people either have to do their church online or not at all. (And "not at all" would have meant this communism would have failed because they wouldn't have been able to raise the energy to impose it.)

Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet

by minimus in

jw
friends

the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.

they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.

a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

WTWizard

Nothing is "good" for the planet--at least as long as humanity is still alive. That is, for the reptilian race that is moving in on us. They want the planet conditioned so they can move right in, and right now it is not.

But for everyone else, so what. Every drop of water used ends up somewhere else. You "use" water, it simply goes somewhere and ends up right back in the environment. Yet, they wish to limit the use of this resource. And, of course they say nothing about the huge amount of damage single use face masks do to the environment--I have seen more of those things littered during the past year than I can ever recall (I prefer reusable masks, if I have to wear them at all). Or, what about all the plastics that end up in the oceans? Straws that started from McDonald's. Cheap junk that is designed to break after a few uses and then you need to buy another one (or expensive junk that is programmed to become unusable after just a few months so you need another one).

Maybe it's time to stop distracting people with their water "usage" and worry more about items that are intended to break or become unusable after one, or a few, uses. And start holding companies responsible for producing this trash or programming certain items (iPhones, for instance) to become unusable after a couple of updates.

Announcements and Reminders MAY 2021

by cachito in

parte de la informacion de los anuncios y recordatorios por parte de la watchtower mes mayo 2021traduccion:"3. agradecimientos por donaciones: elogiamos los esfuerzos de los muchos publicadores que se han adaptado a utilizar métodos electrónicos de donación para apoyar los intereses del reino, como por ejemplo utilizando donate.jw.org.

se ha hecho un ajuste para unificar la forma en que se reconocen todas las donaciones recibidas en la sucursal.

una vez que se reciba su donación, se le enviará un recibo por correo electrónico para reconocer el importe de la donación.

WTWizard

And now they want everyone to use electronic payments for their donations. Just give them all your stimulus check if you get one, or your extra unemployment benefits if that applies to you. (And waste all the time they presume you have writing letters and sending spam phone calls, including to cell and smart phones where the recipient could run up charges for such spam.)

Not to mention, they will be requiring everyone to get vaccinated (and keep up to date with their vaccines) for this cold, or face disfellowshipping. While the vaccines may not cost anything out of pocket, they do make one sick and the medical bills are on the recipients (and when they are least able to work, between lack of decent jobs and their being too sick to work). Obviously, they need the money themselves. Yet, the washtowel wants them donating more than they can afford (even if they don't get sick or lose their income).
