  How Did 1975 Affect You?

  by Perry in

  i saw my uncle sell their house..... only later to feel and look like idiots.

  i remember all the buzz about the end coming around my own house.

  since i was a naturally inqusitive child (the question why is not good for theocratic advancement) i was made to feel stupid for questioning, even at 7 and 8 years old.

  My father got baptised in 1941 when they were saying that armageddon was only months away. I must ask him how it affected him when it didn't happen. He certainly didn't apply Deuteronomy 18:20-22.

  I remember my mother shaking her head at the foolishness of young Joey Wits who were getting married in the early 60's.

  I've lived with this crap all my life, not ever getting baptised, I was never going to be good enough for that. I just accepted that my loving God Jehovah was going to kill me at Armageddon so I'd better get on with making the best of my short time on earth. The Sunutko tape did the rounds of NZ in the late 60's and the bit about the door being shut before 1975 stuck in my head.

  By 1974 I was back studying, doing talks, witnessing etc. but never got baptised. Figured I could get a quick dunking if it really looked like it was going to happen.

  By the time I had drifted out in 1976 my wife was in. I never opposed her taking the kids along with her, as I still thought she was probably doing the right thing. I only ever objected when I thought the kids were getting baptised too young.

  It is only in the past couple of months that I have learned the truth about 1975, 1941 and all the other rubbish they have fed us, and come to the realisation that it has all been a total load of crap.

  And that crap has affected decisions I have made for my whole life. What a cockup. I'm really pissed off.

  Bummer, had 65% then lost the power for long enough for my laptop battery to run out. It has been VERY windy here. I'll wait until the weather has settled down before I try again.

  Lived there for four magic years. Mostly in North Queensland. Fabulous mushrooms, monsoon weather, mud crabs, green coconuts, mangoes, great fishing, crocs in the swimming hole, cane toads the size of a dinner plate scoffing the blowflys in our dunney, pregnant deathadder in a hole in the bank beside where I parked, huge prawns right in front of our house, box jellyfish, even ate a dugong caught a few metres from our doorstep.

  Great place

  are you: a minority group called "jew" a majority group called "greek" a minority group called "christian"

  to believe in christ, the jews asked for a powerful sign, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the greeks appealed to logic and wisdom, before they would believe.. to believe in christ, the christians simply believed, and treated it as a personal calling.. which category do you believe you fall into 1, 2 or 3?.

  .. 1cor.1:22-25 - the message.

  hey guys, thought i'd introduce myself...... my name is lars, and i'm 22... i'm majoring in education here in florida........ i was brought up as a jw, but i never really got into it... because the political side was so corrupt.... right now i'm just trying my best to be a good person, for myself and for god..... .

  i'm a little rough around the edges... i shoot guns, race cars, ride bmx..... etc... so i guess my lifestyle didnt suit the jw's as well...... .

  anyways, i searched around for a picture of myself, but i really dont have any "normal" ones......... .

  Help With Cancer Treatment

  my dad is a jw and has recently been diagnosed with chondrosarcoma (type of bone cancer), the oncologist says the only way to treat this is to cut off his leg and part of his pelvic bone.

  since he will not accept blood transfusion, the doctor will not perform the surgery because of the high risk of him not making it through the surgery.

  he has found an alternative doctor that has given him a lot of hope and started him on a natural chemo, various vitamins and a nutritional plan.

  My mate who had the cancer in his leg is a very active outdoor type, Lady Lee. He decided that he would rather be dead, than minus his leg. That is why he took the alternative. He has his leg, and his life, and his health.

  My most recent experience with a close friend cancer sufferer was a total cockup. She had terminal, untreatable cancer. When I heard about the operation she was offered to "give her another six months" my jaw hit the floor. I suggested an alternative operation that would have extended her life to give time for alternatives to work without hindering the alternative protocols. The surgeon agreed, but when they opened her up they still did their original plan. With the operation they did there was no hope for any alternative therapy to work.

  She died

  Not from cancer.

  But as a direct, and predicted by her surgeon, result of the operation they performed.

  i was watching one of my favorite movies the other day -- "all the president's men" -- when this fabulous statement was made : "when you've got 'em by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.

  how true.

  makes me think of the drones in the land of dub.

  LOL

  You said a mouthful there Bradley.

  "When you've got 'em by the balls their hearts and minds will follow", sounds like the Day's Text at the Borg.

  A friend of mine just drove past. He found a lump in his heel about ten years ago. His doctor told him it was just a stone bruise. After 18 months and many visits his doctor decided to have it checked out. The 'stone bruise' had traveled up his leg into his thigh.

  After many unsuccessful operations, chemo, etc. to remove it they told him they were going to have to remove his leg.

  He got friendly with the local naturopaths and herbalists, changed his diet, changed his farm and garden to organic and eight years later is in good health and still has his leg.

  I consider the medical profession to be much like the Borg, self proclaimed experts that portray themselves as the only hope, using fear to get you to submit to their protocols.

  What would I be looking for in an alternative protocol?

  All raw vegan diet. Despite what anyone tells you this diet is deficient unless you live in paradise. We don't. Cancer needs nutrition too.

  Artificially induced fever. Any increase in body temperature speeds up the immune system.

  Cleansing protocols. Gets rid of toxins, especially toxins from cancer breakdown.

  Herbs that help liver and kidney function and the immune system.

  Anything that helps circulation. Herbs, exercise etc.

  Positive outlook. Prayer is good.

  What protocols would I avoid?

  Anything that included vitamin supplements. Cancer needs nutrition too.

  Anything that included drugs or processed foods.

  Anything that damaged any organ or any part of my body.

  Lastly, NEVER, NEVER , NEVER ..........

  ................give up.

  There is a video here on Schulze, but it has been trimmed down quite a bit and is not as good or informative as it used to be. I did accidentally just happen to end up with a copy of the original on my hard drive. 26megs worth.
