Self-Healing, Homeopathy, Herbalist
by YoursChelbie ini remember while being a dub, there were many people in the kh i attended that seldom went to a traditional family doctor for common ailments.
they were always praising their alternative methods of non-conventional medicine.
even after they explained in principle how these methods work, i still had difficulty accepting them as safe alternatives.

Royal Priesthood antitypical GB?
by YoursChelbie inwhy is it that the wts likens their "governing body" with the royal priesthood of israel when it attempts to reason that it has god's holy spirit and backing, while at the same time, when this same jewish priesthood in discussed in a negative context it is never likened to the governing body.
every time that the same jewish priesthood's is said to be the object of god's wrath, the wts says that it actually represents christendom and the judgements it will receive.
it appears that the wts is only likening themselves to the royal priesthood of isarael when it is convenient for them.

* EX-JW 2003 Yearbook *
by YoursChelbie inwe have all seen the yearbooks that are printed by wts with accounts of people who suffered to become part of their organization.
would it not be helpful to raise public awareness if the ex-jw community likewise had a *yearbook* including experiences of those who have overcome extraordinary obstacles while in the cult or because they were trying to leave the cult?
granted, everyone's story has it own merit, but if we had to narrow down the number of people to be profiled--who would you chose?

Organization non-members ARE approved by God
by YoursChelbie indoes the bible contain accounts of persons who, while not active members of "organized" religion have god's appoval?
if it does, this would contradict watchtower teaching, since they often claim that anyone who's not a baptized member of their organization will suffer destruction.
further they claim that only active members of their "organization" have god's approval.

Simon, You Are Very Welcome!
by YoursChelbie ini've been posting for a little over a month and i honestly feel that my transition from "nominal jw" into the "real world" would not have been as smooth (or fun) were it not for this forum!
i clicked on the tiny, credit card logo on the top right corner and made a small contribution to help our friend simon with the monthly maintenance of this forum.
i will try to remember to contribute something every moth at least, as my circumstances allow.

Watchtower in NY By Law has to turn in Pedo-Files
by YoursChelbie inin response to an enquiry, i received this e-mail today.
does this prove beyond any doubts that the watchtower's entire list of pedophiles names, in brooklyn headquarters, has to be turned over to appropriate law enforcement officials?
by their failure to do so, is not the wts clearly breaking the law?
