Ummmm... the vaccine doesn't fucking work maybe?
When it started, I had hope that the Steal would be revealed, reversed, and the Dems who thought Biden won would be utterly humiliated.
So yeah. That was my hope. Didn't last long.
I'm not sure how wide spread it is. Most of what I told you are from lectures I heard from orthodox Rabbis on Torahanytime.com. I got curious and listened by "topic" and there was a whole section on Afterlife. Most of the ghost stories came from one Rabbi in particular. If you listen to his talks, you feel like you're listening to a Jewish version of the Exorcist.
One concept that seems to come up a lot is to imagine your soul is like a garment. If you're perfectly virtuous, then your garment... it's like a perfectly clean and beautiful white robe. But the more sins (Averroes) you do, each one is a "stain" on your garment. A very sinful person's "clothes" so to speak are riddled with filth and each stain would tell the onlooker exactly what sin you did to earn it. Being able to hide our misdeeds is unique to Earth.
Hell is when your garment... or you, the soul... is so filthy that you're entering a super-heated washing machine. Another analogy was to imagine you never, ever got your car washed for twenty years. Finally, you take it to the car wash. They guy takes out the foot mat and strikes it against the wall. It's so filthy that one hit against the wall and a huge cloud of dust and dirt comes out. He strikes it against the wall a second time, and you get a second cloud of dust, though not as big as the first. Hell is where we are the floor mat and getting hit against the wall to get the grit off us.
But the ghosts, who have a period of time wandering earth until their next appointment with the Heavenly Court, are worse off.
The origin is that there's a prohibition to desecrating the name of G-d. Think of it a little bit as not wanting to dispose of the American flag without proper ritual. If you casually write the name of G-d and throw it in the trash, that's considered a desecration. So by avoiding writing the name out, you can dispose of the document normally.
I thought for a while that Jews don't believe in Hell. It's because I grew up Reform. I found out there are many considerations of the afterlife in the Orthodox circles. Among the possibilities are Heaven, Hell, Reincarnation and... I guess you can call them ghosts.
The ghosts are worse off than Hell. Hell is like a giant washing machine where the pain is used to cleanse the stain of sins off the soul. It might take hundreds of years and much suffering, but there's an end to it. Being a disembodied spirit who has to wander the earth and hide from avenging angels, is worse.
It's a Jewish custom, goes back a long time. That's all. It's my custom to not write it out. If it's not your custom, go ahead and write it out.
Why would I want ANY vax for this illness that's treatable with HCQ or IVM? Why would I trust the Army vax any more than I would trust Pfeizer or Moderna?
Now if it's a shot to cure the vaccine bioweapon, then great. But I didn't take the bioweapon.
Call me naive, a simpleton, a summer child. But I can't stomach that kind of a cold calculus. This is nearly my entire family, you realize.
Lots of answers to this question. Here's one that kind of makes sense to me.
G-d exists outside Time, so he sees the beginning (Big Bang) and the end (Whatever that may be) at a glance, the way you can see a painting. Or... let's say a Mural. Say the Mural tells a story.... far left you see the soldiers in the American revolution... center you see the Civil War.... Right side you see World War 2. At a glance, you see the whole history spanning centuries... but someone /in/ that picture, who was living those events... wouldn't know the outcome. But you do. Because you're an outsider observer looking at the mural.
G-d's vantage point of existing outside of Time means that he can communicate to people on the left end of the picture and tell them what's coming up on the right... because he sees it clearly.
The question then becomes if the people on the left... could they take that warning and change their futures? If they did, would G-d witness the picture on the right side shift, shimmer, and turn into something different? Or is that picture locked and unalterable? Or maybe it can change but in small, imperceptible ways that might be significant but we can't quite tell how?
All right, my answer just raised more questions. Sucks to be me. Watch this video for some more quantum weirdness.
The vaccine itself is not a vaccine but is, at best, a therapeutic.
(At worse, a bioweapon)
I have been thinking a lot of Batman sacrificing his reputation for the good of Gotham at the end of Dark Knight a lot lately... with regard to Trump.
Yes, I would much rather get G-d's vaccine than Fauci's.
But don't tease us with fiction.
By all means, watch these Dems like a hawk. And Rinos too.
I used to be a playwright for community theater. If I was still doing that, man, would I want to be a fly on the wall for your conversations.
You speak for many of us, and you're finding the words many of us are trying to say.
Dude, I'm trying not to wake the kids by laughing too loudly.
Probably "Get vaxed or I'll remove your basic human rights, and send my gestapo to your door to shoot you."
I mean, that's what he wants to say...
The article begins with "According to a new report." What report?
I mean, I'd very much like to imagine Biden will go the way of the Colorado Governor and say: "It's done, we'll learn to live with it." And then go on vacation to a rest home for the next year or three and hopefully not do anything else.
But I can't imagine it. Too much is riding on enslaving us.
Maybe that was their intent and the nay-sayers were right all the time. Don't fight back as they drag you to the quarantine camps, never to be seen again. Har har har.
You can check with things that are local. School board is a good example.
I think I'm wary, frankly. I've no idea what's coming or if anyone is trustworthy. For all I know, Trump might be controlled opposition too. Didn't he make the vaccines and operation warp speed? And with the illegals coming over the border, I don't know how we get out of this.
Nuh uh. All the Transformers were on the same side: The side of stealing Earth's energy and making its people reliant on giant robot protectors whose loyalties lay with an alien world (Cybertron) but put up a big show to get the nations of the world to surrender their energy resources, weapons, and research for the benefits of these alien robots.
The Decepticons were controlled opposition.
I rarely ate at McDonald's. I'll go to Chick Filet if it's open. Maybe I'll go to McD for a cup of coffee.
Now I REALLY won't go...
Zionism is, as I understand it, the nationalist movement of Jews to reestablish a nation in their ancestral homeland. That's it. Any further ambitions, I hear people gnash teeth over it, but no idea what they're ranting about.
As for being Pfeizer's guinea pigs, Israelis have the same problem we all have... a fight between the sheep who go along and those people that say "hell no!" One advantage Americans have is our founders were people who said "Hell no!" Israelis might be attached to: "Thanks to the efforts of our great leaders, we survived the War for Independence, the Six Day War, The Yom Kippur War, and we got to unify or we're in trouble."
That unity helped Israel to survive when under attack by the Arabs.
But in a time like this, that strength is now a weakness. They got to figure out that the people in charge are not on their side during this particular crisis.
"Vaccination status is not a protected minority class, so we are free to discriminate all we want!"
