Rasputin and Serums and Herbs--Oh My!

by rebel8 in

i have written a blog post about the dubs and their scorn of modern medicine and rasputin, while simultaneously touting unproven, dangerous cures.. i wonder what it is about a fake remedy that makes jws believe in it or scorn it?.

I believe balance between both modern medicine and homeopathic/dietary methods for true health.

There are many ways we can all care for ourselves...and what we eat is huge. I believe this is step one. Diet has been linked to cancer, headaches, diabetes, heart health, etc. Obesity is a plague of its own. We tax smokers, increase health care costs, etc. But no action has been taken that I'm aware of to do the same for morbid obesity. Although similiar health risks are involved.

Modern medicine has brought to light some amazing medical interventions, surgeries, technologies, medicines, etc. I have had my experience with modern medicine event though I am in relatively excellent health.

I am 35, and have spinal issues that I take 7 medications for multiple times each day. These medicines have some scary long term use side effects, from liver disease to....just not something I am looking forward to. If I lived in a state with medicinal marijuana I could likely stop taking every single one of these pills and have less side effects.

On the other hand, surgical and other procedures have helped significantly.

As with everything, there must be balance.

How Long Have You Been Here?

12 years for me and before i actually became a member, i looked at this site (jwd) for a few months..

Since April...facing major surgery as an unbaptized publisher, I was shocked and horrified by the aggressive indoctrination they rushed me into into regarding blood transfusions. They tried to get me a blood card, and brought the blood video to my house, which we proceeded to watch while eating popcorn.

There had already been major wtf moments prior to this, such as false prophesies, 1914 and the "invisible rule" but the whole biased blood video pissed me off. I made arrangements for my sister to be my poa and wrote specific instructions that I would accept blood.

I also came across an article about Candice conti. That led me to research more and I found this site.

I have found the advice and experiences of others here to be so helpful. Though I am no longer attending meetings, my child is being made to attend by my uber dub husband, but he has allowed her to stop studying and negotiated that she only has to do field service a few times a month. She is completely anti-jw and hates going to meetings.

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

by EndofMysteries in

.

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

HeyThere

Nice. It would be great if it was an undercover apostate putting that picture in there...lol

"did you not in your discontentment make supplication to the great void, and to the darkness, to bring forth the mighty storm that lays waste to all that stales and stagnates?

did you not climb the treacherous mountain to witness the melting of snow?

do not peals of blinding light illuminate your face?

IS THIS SICK? LYING TO DISABLED CHILDREN!!

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

has anyone watched the videos for children on jw.org?

i feel sick.. in one video a little girl dreams about paradise: the blind can see again, the deaf can hear again, and of course, she gets to hug a cute little panda cub.

not until the end of the video is her wheelchair revealed.

So...will wild flesh eating beasts turn vegetarian? Will poisonous snakes lose their poison? Will there be no need for pest Control? Will spiders and roaches and rats simply not be pests anymore but pets?
