I understand that the WT once said that the existance of Rabies had been disproved?
On what basis did they say that?

Yes they did say there was no such thing as rabies, in fact they stated that germs did not exist at all and that “biting worms” running around on the inside of our bodies caused many of man’s ailments.
They also said such nutty things as, it was impossible for rockets to leave earth’s atmosphere, aluminum cookware causes diseases, madness, and early death; wearing a belt containing a small amount of uranium can improve your health; aspirin contributes to heart disease; the human heart (the organ) actually ‘feels’ emotions and the personality of a person can be transplanted from one person to the other along with the organ and also via a blood transfusion.
MY GOD, they actually put these nutty ideas in print! I could go on and on, but you get the idea. On what basis did they say all this? The same basis they say anything and everything else, their own self-delusions.

Most of those quotes except about the heart, were a long time ago. And I know this still came right from "jehovah",but are you aware of any other stupid quotes on health in the last few years (I know about blood)?
