LoveUniHateExams - "...science, WT style..."
Here's another example:
Well, the Awake! may have provided one measly article that took a moderate stand on aluminium but the earlier message remained firmly in place with older JWs, including my maternal grandmother and my own mother. When I set up my own home in the later 1970s, my mother inspected my ovenware and pots.
Luckily for me I already knew how she'd react so ensured my aluminium cookware were kept out of her sight.
American spelling and pronunciation differs from English spelling and pronunciation. You are flogging a dead horse to expected uniformity
Some years ago I met a special pioneer in Trinidad who claimed that her diabetes was due to using aluminium cookware...........go figure.......
My experience has been that it has been an older jw that has clung to the wild idea. When they expressed it to the younger jws, they have no idea that was ever taught by the WTS (like me). My mother is the generation after that so that makes me third gen. It might have been a problem in the past but aluminum pans are manufactured differently now for sure.
Add to that microwaves and vaccinations. Never heard of it. One of my contemporary jws had a mother much older than mine and she lived by the concept that a diet of only grapes would cure cancer.
WTWizard » I would say silver is the metal of Satan. Silver represents freedom from financial bondage. It is also the best conductor of both heat and electricity, and is one of the most reflective metals of all. It also kills bacteria and viruses that can cause disease, but is harmless to humans. As such, it is both a monetary and industrial metal that represents freedom. And Satan represents freedom.
Uhhh...okay.
Actually, silver has always been considered as a protection from evil. It kills werewolves and is used against witchcraft. It represents stability, light and virtue, things Satan usually isn't identified with. It also quickly tarnishes and that has been identified with maintaining one's integrity and honor, which require constant care and polishing.
Judas is said to have been given thirty pieces of silver to betray Jesus, but he ultimately rejected it.
I've never heard of Satan representing freedom. In fact, he is represented as causing bondage.
So your outlook is interesting.

I wondered when the CTs would show up. The site also preaches that vaccines really do cause autism and the CDC and ALL regulatory gov groups are out to get you.
I heard anti-aluminum talk from JWs well into the 80's.
