Marvelous update on unity!

 

Also, talking about the vaccines, masks and conspiracy theories were still reckoned as importante

Great! So today will be released on jw.org ? 🤗🤗🤗

Also something to think about:

Quote

People are “not open to any agreement”. They quickly become “fierce”, taking strong positions on all types of issues. As Christians, we are “no part of [the] world”. We stay out of those debates.

In other words, as Christians, we stay out of any debate where people take strong positions on any type of issue.

Stay out as in no reply and no input.

It is already in jw.org/pt-pt but then the link directs you to the Brazilian version.

The comparison with ham man is worth to think about.

we should not follow the croud

we must follow GB directions

 

here in Portugal 4 bethelites came out to visit their families

thinking NOW WE ARE VACCINATED AND FREE TO DO WHATEVER WE NEED 

When came back to Bethel they had to confine 15 days in their rooms

 

No

we must not follow our ideas

we must follow GB directions

Only the header news and pt links were available by the time I wrote my comment

It seems to be a minor glitch because it worked perfectly if you corrected the link to pt-pt.

 

For me now there are 2 different links for pt and pt-pt, the header and link in pt as before, and now the new video news in pt-pt, as per the picture bellow.

When it was announced previously that outside the US the branch, vaccination rate was 50%, some assumed the rate was lower because that was a personal choice.  According to this Update #7, it seems to be a shortage of vaccine supply in some countries.  As the organization  locates supplies and gets them delivered, the rate has gone up to 80% and the GB is trying to get more vaccines to the outlying branches.

[Tortuga]

I really appreciate the reminder about not allowing ourselves be influenced by worldly thinking.

[Dhanyel]

This time we were not told how many brothers were victims of the coronavirus! The objective was to be careful with divisions , I use a mask I do not use it , I take the vaccine I do not take it etc ...

That is good. We must not forget that the whole world is a mess. It will going to be that way until the NW.

And Bro. Losch directly linked the continued production of spiritual food and the ongoing oversight of the preaching work to safety by vaccinating the Worldwide Bethel Family…

But Bro. Losch reacted with incredulity that the wearing of a mask during a pandemic had become something up for discussion… the viewpoint was quite clear that mask wearing, vaccines and all other public health directives were life saving and non-contentious and agreed with previous direction Jah had given the nation of Israel. The opposite viewpoints, which created divisions, emotional outbursts, suffering and loss of life, were linked with Satan.

And me, I also loved the way they acknowledged that it’s so very hard now to remove ourselves from having opinions or debates regarding worldly thinking… ‘ lovers of themselves’ ‘ fierce’ I think this scripture is being applied right now in a way that we haven’t seen before….

 We sure live in very interesting times

Can anyone confirm if it will be by brother Lösch?

Yes I confirm 😀

 

[Peak Pelka]

The instructions are just direct and to the point. 

To any who have respect for life and the source of life the GBwill not over emphasised the  need for vaccination 

 

I loved how Br Losch was positive and emphasised the enjoyment of unity among Jehovah's peoples

Mas irmão. Losch reagiu com incredulidade que o uso de uma máscara durante uma pandemia havia se tornado algo em discussão ... o ponto de vista era bastante claro que o uso de máscara, vacinas e todas as outras diretrizes de saúde pública salvavam vidas e não eram contenciosas e concordavam com a direção anterior que Jah tinha dada a nação de Israel. Os pontos de vista opostos, que criaram divisões, explosões emocionais, sofrimento e perda de vidas, estavam ligados a Satanás.

Sorry I didn't understand your comment because of the translation I apologize for that !!!! I agree 100% with everything brother LOSCH said!

I took my two doses of vaccine and I'm not without masks outside my house! Following the guidelines is the best way!

Perhaps I will try and explain it in simple English

 

Quote

Brother Losch said that he is very surprised that some people would actually argue over whether one should wear a mask or not. 

It is quite clear that mask wearing, vaccines and other health advises are life saving and it is the only right thing to do. Everyone should follow the instructions given by the health authorities  just like in ancient Israel, Jehovah gave the people strict rules with regard to their health. An example is given here :

 

Quote

Deu 23:12   A private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go. A peg should be part of your equipment. When you squat outside, you should dig a hole with it and then cover your excrement

   Those who oppose the wearing of masks or vaccines/health instructions, will only cause divisions, angry words, suffering and death. These are all linked to Satan.

 

 

Deu 23:12    Deve-se determinar um lugar privativo fora do acampamento, e é para lá que você deve ir.  Entre os seus equipamentos você deve ter uma estaca pequena. Quando você se abaixar lá fora, deve cavar um buraco com ela e cobrir seu excremento

The number of attendance at the memorial in the Philippines is impressive. 739 000, the last peak was 612 000. 127 000 more. Will we reach 9 million publishers this year?

Excellent update. Bro Lösch is looking noticeably more tanned and fit than the video clip!  😉  And I love his ring!
