waton - "In this week's wt study "Trust the brothers" in paragraph 16 is another possible food poisoning illustration. Evidently referring to the F&DS dispensations, it asked: Would you stop eating just because it gave you food poisoning before? or words to that effect. Good that wt writers unwittingly admitted that their product can be sickening and has possibly been lethal. like advising not to eat of the bread of life of John 6 refereed to above."
I checked out the study article….#37
“Have you ever lost a privilege? That can be a painful
experience.”
(The experience involving “brothers” removing a “privilege”
a sister once held is related. )
“If you have had a similar disheartening experience, work to
rebuild your trust. You may need time, but your efforts will be worth it. To
illustrate, if we have ever experienced food poisoning, we may be more
cautious about what we eat. However, one bad meal will not make us stop eating.”
Oh my, that is so the case with the spiritual food processed
for JW consumption. They throw caution to the wind and will not stop
eating “wormwood”.
A friend of mine, who is now shunned for speaking about
Christ’s teachings, (“bread of life”) had a dream of JWs gathered for a feast. This is translated from Portuguese:
“I dreamed today about JWs.
They were in a long line, very well dressed for a wedding party and
there were 4 of them sitting faraway eating a plant. I came out of the house to get food for these
and JWs didn’t look at me. They were
very hungry and the people were commenting on the plant. I brought them bread and when I passed them,
they didn’t look at me and didn’t want to touch me. I arrived to give food to
those people and they were full of eating the plants. I remember what the plant was, it was
poisonous, and
the people were dressed elegantly.

Here’s an interesting report on the essential oil, wormwood. If you take enough of it, you’ll die. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199709183371205
