  New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience

  besides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

  Fulltime - I know an acupucturist :

  The exams are very critical - Miss ONE point and you fail totally and have to resit. Also if you miss a point by a cm the patient would be in PAIN.

  Try sticking pins in yourself and see!!

  Separation of the sheep and goats

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  separating of the sheep and the goats you can live forever in paradise on earth, 1982, p 183, states: since christ returned and sat down on his heavenly throne, all humankind has been on judgment... during the presentjudgment people are being separated as goats to christs left hand or as sheep to his right.. the wt of jan. 1, 1988, p 16, confirmed this: yes, all mankind is being scrutinized to see who are sheep and who are goats.... the messages are broadcast by human mouthpieces under angelic direction.

  a person is identified as a sheep or as a goat by the way he responds to the angelic messages.

  during this 20 th century, only jehovahs witnesses have cooperated with the angels in this vital work.. .

  YEAH right - and the Babble Students taught that Christs second presence began in 1874, and he sat on his throne to judge in 1914.

  So NOW we have that his second presence began in 1914, and he will sit on his throne to judge sometime VERY VERY VERY VERY soon.

  I remember a Rag from 1985/86, "Listen to this message, Please DEAR READER for Armageddon is SO VERY NEAR "

  Blondie will find it. I no longer have any of this trash in the house.

  In view of the new understanding of sheep and goats, what will happen to all those who died between 1919 and the new 1990s understanding without any "scriptural" hope of a resurrection. as they died judged as goats. Will they remain dead? Will recent fatalities be resurrected?

  Yet every witless I knew laughed when the RC changed their teachings on Purgatory and Hell, even though the RC qouted the light gets brighter in Proverbs, and explained that God had progressively revealed his will in History.

  What will happen to those sent to Hell for eating meat on Friday the WTBTS laughed. They went to heaven of course.

  Its all a crock.

  I just checked that verse in Isaiah too, and it in NO WAY resembles the quote at the beginning of this thread.

  KNOX and the NWT do not say it.

  Which translation says this?

  As for "If you did believe in God" Which effing god do they mean? Zeus, Wotan Baal. Actually If I believed in the Witch tower god he would be capricious jealous genocidal petty irascible vengeful infanticidal racist and a mass murderor long before Hitler Stalin or Mao, anti logic pro lies (of the WTBTS) deceitful, unreliable, and unable to communicate clearly his will to the 8 popes.

  OH and I forgot "QI" means energy, it is not a type of energy. Dont nerves use ELECTRICAL ENERGY? It took the west long enought to find that out too.

  So how do we dismiss MAINSTREAM doctors in China performing surgery using acupuncture instead of aneasthetics.

  WHO exactly did this study, who was it funded by and what alternative were the (nodoubt) pharmaceuticals firms pushing as an alternative?

  Acupuncture certainly alters the brain's perception of the body. it has been used for bowel problems and depression, very effectively.

  It is a discipline so old it was being practised in China when we in the west still thought that leeches would balance the four humors.

  The energy flow theory behind it may not really be the explanation, but western doctors dont understand it either.

  The watchtower quoting itself as if it were scripture about weddings...

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the 1997 wt, 4/15 page 26 is about weddings and more rules the wt tries to enforce to take the fun out of even weddings.

  "while a disfellowshipped person could be allowed to attend the talk at the kingdom hall, the watchtower of april 15, 1984, said: it would be unfitting to have in the wedding party people who are disfellowshipped or whose scandalous life-style grossly conflicts with bible principles.

  - isn't that funny?

  They have already stated that the body of Christian Litterature has "become part of the Bible (!!)" - So they can quote it with the same authority as scripture.

  What is your weirdest field service experience ?

  mine just popped in my head and i just had to share it.

  a few years ago i went with a special pioneer(and elder) at one of his studies who was a cow herder in the mountains.

  obviously, even though we were going to the middle of nowhere, where no one lived, we just had to go all dressed up in nice suits and all.

  went to a door where a bearded chubby gay daddy was drooling over me. He asked us in, the (I now know) gay partner with me said yes, but I said I had to go...

  Who knows what would have unfolded if we had gone in. I am thinking "Dont ever wipe tears without gloves".

  The Insight books easily prove the date of jerusalems fall, simply by referencing the Kings going back from Belshazzar.

  They cannot provide the names of even one missing king.

  There is a lot of obfuscation around the reign of nebuchadnezzar, regnal v accession years, but they know they have successfully inculcated inability to think, ignorance and gullibility in the sheeples, so they can never crawl through the tangled web they put in those volumes. They cleverly removed passages in the Aid book that could give clues to their deception, with regard to Nineveh and the fall of Tyre.

  I just got sick of their increasingly strident screaming "Listen obey or die"
