Yes, it is so heartbreaking. I was hearing of people I know bragging about getting their young children jabbed as soon as it was approved. It made me want to scream. Then the other day we had a small outdoor family gathering and a close family member was holding his 8 yr old daughter and proudly telling us about taking her to get her injections, that she was sobbing because she didn't want to do it, but he told her that she was doing the right thing, showing unselfish love and that Jehovah was going to be so proud of her. (She actually rolled her eyes.) But I keep thinking about it & it makes me so incredibly sad.
My father said the exact same thing. He's been opposing the jabs from the beginning. With every GB update he texts me and says "what are you gonna do?" My answer is always the same. No way in H E double hockey sticks. He said the pressure in his congregation is unbearable. It's the only thing anyone talks about and he and my mother are the only ones holding out. They even had an in-person visit from their coordinator today, and he had to explain his stand. The bro said "do what you got to do." But dad says if we just go ahead and take it, and die, at least all this will be over and we will wake up on the other side without having to endure what's coming. I can't even believe it's gotten to the point that anyone would see the need to make statements like this. It's horrifying. Please, let's all pray for these ones like my parents who are so alone, enduring relentless pressure. I know they aren't the only ones.
Exactly my stand. And continuing from my conversation with my parents ^ I told them the decision is theirs of course, but I will personally not consent for any reason to something that violates my conscience and I am 100% convinced is demonic propaganda. It boils down to principle. I feel like you said, Satan is offering it. I am not taking the easy way out on this one. I will stand and fight for what I know is right. We all stand together
