I wouldn't worry about this issue, the majority die from the illness they are trying to improve by taking the perscribed herbs and spices. Thus they see how little it does to help. I had a relative who swore by coffee enemas. Then again she was a widow.

Muscle testing, applied kinesiology, and just plain being wrongheaded
by JimmyPage inmy wife's family have been jws for generations.
we all know that the watchtower had crazy ideas about health early on and were usually at odds with the medical community.
so it's no surprise that my in-laws are big on non-traditional ways of treating ailments.. but for years now the society has printed articles and preached in assembly talks against applied kinesiology, or muscle testing.

Proof of God or Christ without a holy book
by Awen inin some previous posts i have asked certain questions that still haven't been answered.
so without going back to those threads and possibly de-railing them i thought it best to make a new topic.
please bear with me.. i have asked certain ones to prove the existence of god or christ without referencing any biblical writings or characters.

Just because Jesus existed it doesn't mean he was the son of God. Cortez existed. When Cortez arrived the Aztecs supposedly took him for the god Quetzalcoatl. Their eyewitness observations are rather tainted and worthless. It proves nothing. Pretty much the same for the superstitious Semites of Jesus' day.

Anwar Al-Awlaki and due process any thoughts?
by MoneurMallard inrecently anwar al-awlaki was killed by the u.s. government.
he was a u.s. citizen, and no due process was given, he was just killed outright, no arrest, no trial, no court.. any thoughts?.

SSn587, what was wrong with his elk? I didn't think they had elk in Yemen. Why would he be traveling with an elk anyway? Wait, you said ilk, not elk...sorry.

Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito have been FREED
by dm6 ini'm not sure how many of you are interested in this or how many of you have been following it, but i have been right from when i first heard about it a few years ago.. they were each sentenced 25 years and 26 years for the murder of british student meredith mercher, but after a dramatic appeal, today, they have had their sentences overturned and have been given an immediate release, because the evidence suggesting that they were guilty was not strong enough to support that verdict.. i always thought them both to be innocent, and this is true justice for the poor girl and guy after being locked up for 4 years for somehting they did not commit, however, it does still leave an unsolved riddle.... who killed meredith mercher if not these two?.
the strange thing is, amanda knox apparently originally claimed she heard screams from meredith and hid in a different room in the house whilst it happened, but that stroy had changed to "i was never there" which is what i think too, given the facts.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3850483/amanda-knox-is-not-guilty-of-killing-meredith-kercher.html.
what are your thoughts?.

The damned Italians can't even build a tower that stays straight, how do you expect them to get a fair trial? C'mon, I'm kidding about the tower.

told my parents to never ever tell me they love me again....
by oompa in...i told them in a very serious sitdown in their living room....said..."because if you cant show it then it does not count...that is not real love no matter who tells you it is....because it is how it makes me feel that determines if it is love....not if you just say it...and me and my sons do not feel that love at all now"....and i stayed calm and talked slowly and barely shed a tear as i held them back...and i had asked them to not say a word but just listen...dad said they would as long as it was not about religion as i knew he would.
this was two of the worst days of my life in a row..i told them the pain me and my boys feel from their shunning is worse than if they had died...that then i could grieve naturally and move on because that is normal....grief helps you cope...my grief is different because they choose to act like i am dead and normal grief does not seem to work on that.
i shared an epiphany with them i had about mens rules vs gods great idea of dna (but no i am not sure about a god anymore)it went kinda like this:.

They were being half assed and that brought them comfort. NOW they will feel the full extent of thier choice. It's in your court. Perhaps this will shake them to their senses when they realize how much they miss your family and your love for them. Oppressive damn religion.

Looking through a glass onion
by MoneurMallard inhas anyone given any consideration to the fact that the torah strictly prohibited sorcery and those who spoke with the dead, and the acts of jesus during his ministry?.
deu 18:9 "when you come into the land that the lord your god is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations.
deu 18:10 there shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer .
