2021 Governing Body Update #6

[AH173]

With all the covid-19 news from last update ( it feels like almost a month now- but really 2+ weeks), I am really looking forward to next broadcast on how FDS will make their decisions based on current science and current facts with this virus.

Three years later, we did good

Yes, we did. I was actually looking for the one with Bro Splaine (I think) who gave the statistics. I wanted to quote it accurately.

Factors for Vaccination

 

Of course, the decision to be vaccinated is a personal one. What factors might a Christian consider in making the decision? 

 

Number one: As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we do not have a religious objection to vaccination. 

 

Number two: We are in the midst of a pandemic. As of July 9, over 19,000 of our dear brothers and sisters have died from the virus. 

 

Number three: In some lands, “the superior authorities” have made laws requiring all of their citizens to be vaccinated. In other lands, the superior authorities have not made laws, but they are strongly encouraging their citizens to be vaccinated. 

 

We each must weigh such factors when making our own personal decision. Continue to take reasonable precautions in accord with local conditions, especially if you have health problems or you’re up in years. Stay in touch with direction coming from the local health authorities, and be careful.
