Youhadnohope.-Eph.2:12.
Jehovah's Witnesses accept medical help and various forms of treatment. Our journal Awake! often contains articles on health matters. And although we do not endorse any particular treatment, we appreciate the help and cooperation of health-care professionals. Of course, we are aware that perfect health is not yet attainable. Therefore, we know that it is wise to avoid letting our health become an obsession or a constant concern. Our attitude should differ from that of those who have "no hope," who think that this life is all there is and who will resort to any therapy in an attempt to cure their ailments. We are determined not to forfeit Jehovah's approval in an effort to save our present life, for we are convinced that if we remain faithful to God, we will "get a firm hold on the real life," everlasting life in his promised new system of things.-1 Tim. 6:12, 19; 2 Pet. 3:13. w08 11/15 3:6
Don't you find it interesting how they just cannot give advice and admonition to the rank and file without resorting to negative comments of the world or "ones who have no hope". How many do you know of that have gone to great lengths to use some "Mexican cure" or what not. Certainly they are no different than the ones they denigrate or in many cases worse.
