My husband who is an ubm but had studied a few times with the brothers...defended the witnesses when I told him I was going to DA and why......but when I told him as of this moment you are MARKED and if you raise your hand to answer at the meetings, they will not call on you. That pissed him off to no end. He then started cursing them (not with bad words) but he said...OH! It probably pisses them off that I resisted being baptized. I just had to laugh at his remark at being MARKED by the cong.! hehehehe

"Spiritism" has Rapidly Spread in JW Congregations
by metatron insister k, like countless other witness sisters, has a number of vague, ill-defined symptoms that drag her down physically.. her md can't find much specific that's wrong - so she seeks help from an alternative healer - who uses "healing crystals",.
"flower essences", "rebalancing energy meridians" and the like.
she seems to benefit from this - and the healer is also.

Would reflexology be a form of Spiritism? Thanks for the Info on read eyes. Reflexology is a centuries old healing art that shares its conceptual and philosophical roots with traditional Chinese acupuncture. Reflexology teaches that certain areas of the body - such as the hands or feet - contain pressure points (or reflex points) that correspond to points located throughout the entire body. As such, the manipulation of these reflex points rebalances and redistributes vital energy (chi) throughout the entire body as well. According to ancient teachings, this harmonizing of the vital "chi" energy is essential to overall health and well-being.
Practiced on the feet, the gentle healing art of reflexology is an extremely effective form of therapeutic foot massage. The application of pressure on certain reflex points in the feet offers a variety of therapeutic benefits - including increased circulation, revitalized energy and stress reduction.

I found this website by doing a google search for " 1935 anointed" as I wanted more information on why there were so many anointed in their 50s. So among all the google searches I clicked on this one http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/97270/1.ashx
I think I lurked for a day and a half. I was then inactive JW...now DA

Source of Direct Contribution for Rutherford's House, Beth Sarim
by VM44 inthis is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.
where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?
in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.
