im writing this on behalf of my closest family who are baptized and would never write this themselves allthough they did fill out adverse damage forms..my mother and father both took the vaccine after discussing it with some close firends after watching the gov body report 10 2021 wich implied that Jehovah would not allow anyone to be harmed or killed by a dangerous vaxxine because Jehovah wants us to stay in the land of the living. My mom have had her health crushed after taking these shots. A few days after the nr 2 mrna injection my she nearly died after her stomach ruptured and the operating surgeon said when he heard she just received the covid shot that she must should not take any more of those shots. her life was saved by a margin of minutes but she had to go through a long and arduous process of operations and hospitalizations. and still is to this day. my father had most likely microclotting in his legs as he had immense and excrutiating pain in his legs and could hardly sleep in 6 months. all the while the doctor refused to do a d-dimer test to check for any clotting she prescribed bloodthinners and said that those tests were only allowed if the doctor deemed it necessary. one of their close friends who also got vaccinated died of massive cardiac arrest in a few months back. all the arteries and veins around his hearth were clogged. and nobody even question if the vaccine could be a factor because they are so afraid to even mention the shots. everything from eating to global warming and the endtimes is repeated as the reason why it happened. another friend who got the shots got brainstroke and survived.. now i know that i cant say with 100% certainty all these things were caused by the experimental mrna injections. but the fact we are not supposed to or allowed to talk about this tells me theres a huge effort to supress and obscure the truth about this atrocity.
this is reality and the gb will never admit to any error as they said in the last broadcast - "nor do they need to apologize for getting things wrong" faithful and descreet indeed.. can somebody show me please where in the bible it says that if you are a leader of men like the gb or the pope that you are excempt from being humble and apologize for doing harmful mistakes to others? and seeing they explicitly stated the "as jws we have no biblical reason to not take these vaxxines". when most countries like canada requires your religion to be against the shots or you are not allowed a medical excemption... it is painfully obvious that IF they ever served God they have now become an evil slave intent on selling the flock for their own gain. and beating their fellows slaves whos conscience tells them differently than the orders from the gb. i have experienced more and more over the last years the feeling of being shunned, vilified and slandered for trying to tell people of the dangers of the mrna shots the last years and today noone in the congregation seem to want to talk to me because of this. even if i never been baptized or excluded. because the gb branded everyone who says anything diffrent to them as apostate liars... so even if people see the effects and damage from the mrna injections they dare not speak up for fear of being reprimanded.. from what ive seen the last few years if they (the GB)truly believed in Jehovah and Jesus they would not dare say or do the things they have.. but they seem to have no fear of angering god at all.. to me it looks as if they dont think god exist.. but I do.. so i will wait for Christ to come back and take care of them.. even if i will wait alone shunned by everyone including my own family and viewed as an apostate liar for speaking truth.. because i love truth more than my life.. and i dont want to be like the ones who will perish because they continue to love the lie..

First of all my heart truly goes out to all of our brothers and sisters that have personally been injured or have had family and friends that have been injured by these experimental gene therapy inoculations I.e. covid vaccines. I personally never got the jab and never came close to getting the jab, but I have to admit that we’re many times especially after the GB updates I would ask Jehovah “should I get the shot” but the answer was always the same.. no… I think for me it was because I had educated myself on the jab and I looked at both sides of the issue and just plain logic..So I knew that there was a risk and I could not harmonize getting this experimental jab with applying the counsel at 2 Corinthians 7:1…. Sadly and for reasons I don’t know that scripture was never mentioned during the pandemic amongst the ones taking the lead, but I digress. To get back to the injuries, I know of ones in my congregation who have brain tumors, pace makers at an age under 40, shingles, strokes, seizures, severe internal bleeding, bloody eyes after getting the jab, swollen legs, stiff shoulders, severe rashes and elevated blood pressures and those are only the ones that I know of personally or whom I actually know. The thing is I know for a fact that all of these individuals were all vaccinated because I was told by someone who would know that I am only one in my congregation that was not jab. And to this very day I still have not attended an in person meeting in the almost two years since they were resumed. It’s not because I don’t want to be amongst my brothers or in Jehovah’s house so to speak, I just know that for the sake of peace it is best that I stay away. The reason I say that is because I know that I would not be able to keep my mouth shut. I could not just sit there during the meetings and hear the ridiculous comments and imo blasphemous comments being made and keep silent. I could not witness so many of my friends have health issues and not say anything that could help them get get rid of the spike protein or dissolve the ticking time bomb micro clots. Comments like if it is from the GB it is from Jehovah or comments from the platform that it was directions from Jehovah to get vaccinated, I think you get my point. Therefore, I just continue to zoom all of our meetings and informal witness whenever the opportunity presents itself. My friends within the congregation are soft shunning me, I only hear from them when they want something, but I get it. I understand why they are doing it. We all have done things out of ignorance. I’m not giving my testimony in order to cast shame or express my utter disappointment on how the organization handle the pandemic response. Even though I felt it was a failure, I have come to understand just how powerful fear is and how it has caused people and even Jehovah’s people to make serious mistakes in the past. Instead I write this because I want to encourage everyone here and others who perhaps have not given a testimony to hang on, don’t give up, you are being heard, you are believed and your opinions are genuine and valid. I know it is very hard to understand why these things have happened, why the majority of the friends are not accepting that the injuries and side effects are real, but we were told in Rev. 12 that the great dragon was cast down with gray anger and to mislead the “entire” inhabited earth. So imo we are simply seeing that prophecy fulfilled. I will close by saying that it is my strong desire that for all of you who have been injured as a result of the jabs and or opposition from others that soon you can all get some form of relief until our God Jehovah and His son Jesus brings a permanent solution and relief to all of this confusion, pain and suffering. Until then there are protocols and treatments out there that can help. Best wishes to all!

My Aunt and Uncle were against the vaccine at first. But after constant prodding from the GB they thought, as was implied, that they wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't safe. So they both got 2 vaccines. They both got COVID anyway. My uncle took Ivermectin ( the horse paste) and had very mild symptoms. My Aunt refused to take Ivermectin. She was having a hard time breathing ended up in the hospital, was administered Remdesivir and died within 10 hours. 6 months later my uncle had a massive heart attack, had 4 stents and a pacemaker put in. He deeply regrets them getting the vaccine and doesn't understand why the org recommended it.

Anti-Covid-19 vaccines mostly use stem cells taken from human embryos at different stages of their development (a few days to a few months). These cell lines are not immortal, but require regular sampling (between a few months and a few years). This poses an ethical problem in most cultures.

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses was aware of this problem and refrained from talking about it, diverting the gaze of each Witness by assuring them that the vaccines did not contain blood.

Here is an extract from the letter written by the Governing Body in response to this question:

« Regarding the use of cell lines produced from cells derived from aborted fetuses, we are aware that many vaccines in use today, including some COVID-19 vaccines, involve these cell lines in their production, such as the cell lines MRC-5, HEK293, and T-REx-293. What factors would a Christian need to consider when deciding whether or not to accept such a vaccine? First, was the abortion arranged with the express purpose of harvesting such cells? If so, then using those cells would make one directly complicit in the willful taking a human life. Second, did the act of taking the desired cells from the fetus actually kill it? If so, that too would make the one using those cells complicit in the willful taking human life. (See the November 22, 2002, issue of Awake!, page 10, paragraph 1) However, if the fetus was not aborted for the purpose of harvesting any of its cells or if it did not die as a direct result of taking them, it would be a personal matter as to wether one might utilize the cells or accept a vaccine that utilized such cells. In some respects, the situation could be compared to that of a Christian who needs an organ transplant and who has to decide wether to accept an organ from the body of a murder victim. - Compare « Questions From Readers » in Watchtower of March 15, 1980, page 31.

In the case of the aborted fetus associated with the production of MRC-5, sources consistently explain that this was not aborted for the purpose of obtaining diploid cells and that the fetal tissue was removed from the fetus when it was already dead. Thus, the abortion was not arranged with the express purpose of harvesting such cells. Similarly, the abortion of the fetus from which the cell line HEK293 (and, by extension, its derivative T-REX-293) was derived was not arranged with the express purpose of vaccine production. And as the term "aborted fetus" implies, the fetus was no longer alive when the cells were extracted. Thus, the matter of whether to accept a vaccine that involved these cell lines in its production is a personal decision for each Christian to make. Of course, since consciences vary, it is expected that various brothers and sisters will sometimes come to different personal decisions in this regard. » (View the original letter)

Why has the Governing Body pressured recommended that all Witnesses around the world get vaccinated, while also categorizing it as a matter of individual conscience? Did they even once address this inconsistency, or were they more inclined to ignore the sensibilities and personal agency of those in their care?

Everything has been different since Covid. Divisions, no more interested people, 2 interested people are no longer coming because of the vaccination advertising and have also this told the elders.

Some strongly suspected vaccine injuries:

60 years, few days after second vaccine, severe “unexplained” thrombosis in stomach area, almost died. After this she put greatest vaccine pressure. Eg. “unvaccinated people have no chance in Armageddon”... almost all of her relatives suffered. E.g. stroke immediately after, liver failure, kidney failure, etc. And all relatives are still advertising vaccinations from the stage...

30 years: “unexplained” multi-organ failure since the vaccine, constantly has to go to the hospital.
70 years, aneurysm
70 years, aneurysm
50 years, former athelic type, chronic fatigue after 3rd vaccine, very sad about this.
25 years, since vaccine, depression, burnout, unable to work anymore.

52 years, since the first vaccine completely changed blood count (liver values, kidney values, to few red and white blood cells and thrombocytes also too few, the blood count shortly before was completely ok! She even had to go to the hospital few days after vaccination. Because few hours later very high fever that didn't go down anymore... Even hospital admitted that it was due to the vaccine. Since then constantly sick, constantly coughing, or fever... but whole family continued to be vaccinated. Many of them also had strange damage from immunodeficiency to poor liver values, although still young.

25 years, after first vaccine, constant headache, had to go to hospital for almost 2 weeks, suspected of possible cerebral hemorrhage. After this went on vaccinating. After that „unexplained“ bad liver values in the blood.

53 years, 2 vaccines, cardiac arrest, “unexplained”, because no previous illnesses.

50 years, after 1st vaccine Shingles, knows it's from that, says it's not bad, even though he was in severe pain. Since then he has been sick regularly for 2 weeks.

58 years, double swollen neck after 1st vaccine, after this he stopped taking it.

25 years, after 1st vaccine Shingles, know it comes from that.

58 years shingles

58 years, tragically, dead in bed in the morning, it was strange, everyone acted afterwards as if he had never lived! A lot of people said that it definitely wasn't due to the vaccine...he had 5!! And just had a health check-up before and was still raving to me about how healthy he was.

Some older sisters now complain that they are no longer the same since the vaccine and, for example, are dizzy or their feet. Since then, other sisters have been completely confused and dizzy in their heads and have stopped coming.

About approx. 6 out of 10 between constantly having a cold and coughing or having a runny nose.

Since vaccination began, 10 older people from our hall have died. More than ever before in such a short period of time!

There was even a talk from a Bethel brother at the very beginning of the campaign. He mentioned that they are so sad right now because there have been so many unexpected deaths at the moment. At the time, this statement still seemed strange to some of us.

It's sad, but we shouldn't be upset about it. Anger makes sick. Jehovah sees everything and will judge each of us at the right time. Some wondered why he allows this situation to happen. But maybe we only show our true colors in extreme situations?
