6Brooklyn Eagle November 12, 1911: Shows that this cult has been breaking up families at least for 105 years
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am doing investigation on the early history of the bible students / jehovah's witnesses.
one resource that is turning out to be extremely useful is the brooklyn eagle.. .
the brooklyn eagle was a newspaper that had a lot of animosity against the watchtower society.

How many of you are health nuts?
by Harvard Illiterate 411 inthere was/is a sister in my old hall who was a pharmaceutical sales rep and she was a huge proponent of anything in the drug industry.

" now my husband and i are what you might call old hippies.

HI411, I think you are doing it right!
I've seen a lot of protocols come and go. Seems like moderation in most things, avoid the items that seems to disagree with our bodies, (dairy etc), work the best for me. A bum knee is the only ailment I have, and sometimes I take ibuprofen for that, and other than that, I take no medication and my last assessment said I was in good health.
Buy organic when possible, if not, I hear it is most important to still eat your veggies anyway.
I still get interested in alternative medicine...some are crap and some have value. Traditional cancer treatment has it's wins...but it also seems quite rigged and not open to anything not within Big Pharma. If I had cancer, I just don't know what I'd do. That's a spooky one. Having just lost a friend a few months ago to cancer...and it just sucks.
Good on you and your husband!

Had a wonderful visit with Mr and Mrs Flipper Sat.
by 3rdgen ini haven't posted much lately because i got a new job at the end of nov. and it's taken much of my time and mental energy.
i still read though and care for you all very much so i thought i should let you know about the meet-up i had yesterday with mr and mrs flipper.. hubby got a call the day before from flipper saying he and his wife were going to visit his mother (who is in a rest home in my town) and would we like to meet up for coffee?
hubby couldn't make it but i was delighted to accept.. we picked a burger place not far from the rest home and where i knew jdubs don't usually hang out on saturdays.

Midweek meeting
by loneranger inalmost two months into the change in format of the mid week meeting from the school and service meeting format to the christian life and ministry (clam) format.
in my congregation, seems attendance is down 10-15% over the normally low attendance for the mid week meeting before the change.
some indicate that the meeting under the clam format is very "intense"...you really need to study and research to be able to participate or get anything out of the meetings.

Well I must say this is good news to hear.
after reading the comments it shows the dumbing down in the approach to the flock will end up with more and more distancing themselves. How some defend this approach is amazing to me. I got them in my own family. Sigh

It's so funny/not funny how they keep changing what is a founding core belief. I mean, everything hinges on they being "inspired but not inspired" and so the reason we should believe everything they say.
