That is hardcore! that deserves its own whole thread, something along the lines of "how sick did being an elder make you?" I mean, FIVE heart attacks? I've known a few step down for health reasons and one who really needs to because he's a nervous wreck. I reckon it would make a good thread.
Are JWs more negative than normal people?

They probably wouldn't want it too well known that being involved with the WTS could literally place one's health at risk...
...a "spiritual paradise" shouldn't do that, after all.

Good point; most of us focus on the blood transfusion prohibition, but there's tons of other health-related issues worth considering.

And scientists have proven there is a link between negative thinking and health. So JWs being surrounded day and night by 'evidence' of how bad the world is and how they need the new system is going to make their heads sick and if your head is ill your body will be too.
