I totally agree with you. Well stated. I can't give them a pass on this one. Ive done so many times in the past but this one is too agregious and hypocritical. Does that sound harsh? Just take a look at the direction they themselves published for “Joe publisher” to follow:
w82 6/15 p. 29
“Christian meetings and conventions are
not occasions for engrossed conversation about health, nor for attempting to diagnose others or
promoting treatments. Rather, these gatherings are for warm, spiritual fellowship. Elders should watch that the Kingdom Hall does not become a center for
propagandizing various health
treatments or views, but remains a place of unity and true worship.—Compare
John 2:16, 17.”
w15 9/15 p. 9-10
Par 9 “ A Christian who is reasonable
does not impose his views on others. In one European land, a married couple were zealously advocating certain food supplements and a diet. They persuaded some brothers to use the supplements, but others chose not to. In time, the results
fell short of expectations, and there was
widespread resentment. The couple had a right to choose for themselves whether they would follow a certain diet and take the supplements, but
was it reasonable to put the unity of the congregation at risk over health care? For a time, Christians in ancient Rome had differing opinions with regard to eating certain foods and observing certain days. What advice did Paul give them? Regarding the latter, he said: “One man judges one day as above another; another judges one day the same as all others;
let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.” It was important not to put a stumbling block before others.—Read
Romans 14:5, 13, 15, 19, 20.”
ws15 12/15 p. 26-27
But we need to be careful.
A brother might try to convince us to take a certain kind of medicine or herb or to eat or avoid certain foods. He might tell us that
it helped someone in his family who had a similar problem. But this
does not mean that it will help us too. We must remember that
even if many people use a medicine or a treatment, it may still cause a lot of harm.—Read
Proverbs 27:12.”
Did David Splain and the boys bother taking their own advise before his engaging in blatant "vaccine" propagandizing before the world wide brotherhood and general public? The hypocrisy is on display for all to see. This is beyond naive.
