If I'm not mistaken (wouldn't be the first time) I saw on here once a picture of all the spirit things they were afraid of. It struck me as strange that they would put a oueji (sp) board on a picture they would carry around.

Does anyone have a WT/AWAKE cover pertaining to the Occult?
by DebraDoll inplease help!
i have a huge power-point presentation due by friday, and need some depiction from the wtbts concerning the "dangers" of the occult or spiritism.
it deals with the tremendous variations of our world and how "evil" is defined and relative to each individual (ex; the i-ching is vital to confucianism, but feared by jw's, the crusades sought to "save" everyone by forcing conversion to catholicism, but tortured and blinded non believers with agonizing hot iron rods, etc.....)

After reading SevenofNines post I was wondering........who gets the money?
Who at the top (GB) gets to live in extravagant homes, be driven in limos, take fantastic vacations and buy what ever they want? My stupidity maybe showing but where does the GB live, Bethel? In a larger room then anyone else? Someone somewhere has got to be living high on the hog from the sweat of free labor and a blanket of tax exemption.
Are they building another Neverland for all the returning profits as in years past? Will they buy out Michael and save some money (just kidding on that one, did they set him up to clear the way? just kidding on that one too) They are not charitable so we know it does'nt go to help others. Over head does'nt take it all back, taxes don't take it, property & building anew does'nt get it all so WHO GETS THE MONEY?

I have a hard time blaming the Watchtower
by spiritwalker in" if the watchtower said it, and the men on the platform preached it, then it must have been true.
so it was very hard to accept as an adult, that they were wrong.
i blame myself.

Interesting topic Spirit walker.
I understand what you are saying but feel you are making it way too black and white. I was raised a witness and could'nt wait to be 18 and out. I was'nt offered the choice I had to steal it.
There are way too many people here who are not given the choice to just leave an abusive religion, that would be too easy. They are however offered the choice to leave an abusive religion AND your entire family. Sometimes that price is too high to pay. Some people are second, third and fourth generation. Like it or not the society does have an all or nothing policy. You will say.......those people have a choice to not shun the leaver. True, the leaver however does not have the choice to not be shunned by the people they love. Some can't just walk away without blaming their pain on something else because their pain IS caused by something out of their control.

I got a sore big Toe, what do to make it better?
by Singing Man ini know this may sound kind of dum to talk about but its been a pain for a long time now.
my big toe on my left leg has been hurting i think it to be caused by a ingrown nail but i don't see anything and i cut the nail stright accross.
the side of mmy nail is inflamed and if i really get mad at it and squeeze hard on my toe pus will come out i soak it in salt water at night and put neosporen on it and wear shoes that have room for my toe, though its just been the last few weeks that i have wised up and got a pair that fits.

Singing man,
I used to get ingrown toe nails, very painful. I know it goes against what they say about cutting straight across but since I started cutting the corners off, I have no problems any more. The pain won't go away until you can get the small pointed toe nail on the corner cut off and not growing into the meat of your toe.
If you went to the doctor they would probably soak the toe abit in warm water, put an anticeptic on it, then put a small piece of waded up cotton ball under the nail at the infected spot. The cotton is big enough to raise the corner of the nail abit to let it grow out without pushing into the meat so much. They would have you soak, put anticeptic and change cotton every day, takes a week or two to grow out. Peroxide is good for disinfecting it. I personally am not that patient. I would be sterilizing everything, soaking then going after that pointy nail with a pair of small pointy sissors till I cried. Keep an eye on the infection to make sure you don't get red streaks up your foot (blood poisoning). If you are diabetic or could be...........see a doctor, your toe may not heal on its own.
Good Luck.
