It is absolutely putting Jehovah to the test and...
as I have pointed out here's the difference as far as them making such a huge "federal case" out of Covid, no matter what anybody did they could NOT stop "Covid", the reality is, just like the flu nothing can/could stop it. So you take reasonable precautions but as Jesus said, we have not been taken out of this world so we have to live in it. We have to live, that means we have to work and go about our business and no one, government or Governing Body has the authority to stop that. But here's the point, although you cannot stop the spread and exposure to things like the flu, you cannot possibly die from a vaccine you do not take!
So if they were honest they would have weighed the real actual risk of "Covid" to everyday people. Like I have said over and over again, if your life span is "70 or 80" and 80% of everyone who dies "from Covid" are 70-80, (or have an average of 3 commodities), is that not "old age?" Is that "Covid" or is that "life in Satan's world" when every single one of us is going to die until Jehovah's Kingdom comes.
So the truth is they are not honest, and any honest person can reason this out. I was listen to an interview the other day with Gonzlo Lira and he said something almost exactly like what I have been saying now for a couple years, you do not have to "silence lies", and they don't, you silence the truth because it is the truth that hurts the lie, and that is the real reason the WT has been so adamant that we don't "read apostate driven lies", not because of the lies, but because of the truth. They aren't worried about what what anyone else says about them, just former JW's! People with inside information and experiences!
Point well taken
@Nomex, I was just reiterating the blatant hypocrisy of the WT/GB and how they talk out of both sides of their mouth. We know they’re not honest, have they ever been honest about anything really? I think I know the answer to that but at this point it really doesn’t matter to me anymore! They’ve been exposed!
No, I won’t die from a vaccine I haven’t taken and never intended to take in the first place from the beginning of this pandemic. It wasn’t hard for me to see and understand what was happening. Yes, we have to live in this world and as long as I do I will still take those reasonable precautions. The key word is REASONABLE. For example, having to wear a mask for the reasons they state is not taking reasonable precautions. But I won’t go into all those particulars ad nauseam. I think you get my drift.
All of that said, my point mainly is to say; since we do have to live in this world now my choices are primarily made based on what I see and personally hear about WHAT IS going on around me, not on some conjured up fable by so called intellectuals in white coats who just want to stuff their fat pockets with $$$. Enter WT/GB, who also jumps on the covid bandwagon only to follow the same mental globbledy goop. But I digress… I’m so very tired of it all.
I also agree and like what you brought out from that interview, ‘you do not have to “silence lies,” and they don’t, you silence the truth because it is the truth that hurts the lie.” And we know how WT fits into this without me stating that here.
But I take to heart what one of our forum members and brother
@Carl said in this thread yesterday.
All of this information that’s been covered up has been coming at us for more than two years now. And this can serve to equip us well so we can make informed decisions that will help guide us in the right direction.
We can’t force our decisions on anyone else. You can provide them with the information and it’s up to them to do with it what they want.
We do well to remember that we can’t lose sight of what’s most important, having love among ourselves and respecting what others think and feel. The scriptures even predicted that these debates would take place among God’s people in this period of time, at 2Timothy 2:23, 4: 1-4.
We can’t allow ourselves to be distracted by these debates that have been brought on by ‘the ruler of this world‘ and the ‘father of the lie.’
Rather, we want to “make sure of the more important things, so that you may be flawless and not stumbling others up to the day of Christ.” Phil. 1:10.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I put all these things into practice all day every day as I should. I realize that I’m not perfect and make mistakes. That is why I come on this forum, to gather with friends of like faith, pray to Jehovah, read the scriptures. This is what I need to help me as I travel on this road to life having genuine love for one another as we do so.
