What I don't understand is why was there an article about a non problem in the first place? Is it because the base age of the society members is aging? Are they taking a preemptive strike to stop older people from focusing on their health? Other than that I am at a loss to explain what the hell they are even talking about. What was all that occult crap about? I know of no occult health care that is anywhere main stream. It sounded like some kind of scare tactic to me. One that was ill [no pun intended] thought out. I have no idea why this article was published? Any insight here? Is it possible that it is the Dubbers that have had a dim view of main stream medicine? Older ones have had a hate relationship with modern medicine due to all the anti vaccine, and visceral talk that the society printed in the 20s through the 50s. I know of many who went to Homeopathy, and eastern medicine because of all the neg. talk the society printed. Is this a problem with dubbers of their own making?

23Dumbest new Watchtower study "Don't worry about health just preach!"
by Witness 007 inyes three weeks ago my mum wanted to go through the watchtower with me she had just had at the hall, so i read through it.
basic points....don't worry tooo much about your health...don't be pre-occupied with it...don't promote health products to brothers....the "new system" will cure you so go preaching instead.
i told my mum that this was the most pointless study ever.

For the Atheists... I Need some Answers....
by AllTimeJeff ini proudly admit at the start of this that i am very non supportive of organized religion, the bible, worshipping jesus and the like.
i have frequently argued against theistic themes, joining atheists in their arguements.
i view most religion as a cynical system of power for their religious leaders.. yet i am not an atheist.

Fist off, to say that some good comes from religion to me is like saying that Hitler made the streets safe and trains run on time. Second, To be agnostic is to say we just do not know. I personaly am and atheist one day and could be agnostic the next. But the good religion has done in the world can never out weigh the horrible bad it has done. I do not believe in banning religion, although it would not hurt my feelings if it was done. The bible does not have any great revelations in morality than one good person could come up with in an Hour for a school project.

snoozy you are spot on. It is not if someone would rather you read a stupid old book or play a game boy, the thing they always preached was that if you get permission to do it is ok if it does not conflict with bible or society law. I can remember a talk many years ago where the speaker used the analogy that hotels expected you to take the towels. The speaker said that if you thought that then ask, and if it is true they will tell you it is ok. If you do not you are stealing even if it is common practice. Since when did the holy high and mighty dubbers go with "well everyone does it" thinking? I thought they were so different.

What do you believe about Hell?
by JimmyPage into go along with my trinity thread, i don't believe in hellfire, probably because of my jw upbringing (and common sense).
i have no problem with the idea of an immortal soul or a heavenly hope but the idea of people being tortured forever seems just silly.
so, what is your view of hell?.

Heaven, hell, Valhalla, elysian fields, narvana,Styx. All cultures have a place that is better and worse than where we are now. It is the creation of men who want to believe in something after this life. I do not believe there is anything else. There is no proof that there is anything, and if there was a god don’t you think he could write a better book than the Bible? It is a bad piece of literature. It would not make the top one hundred books of any year but for the fact the people buy is in a whipped up frenzy of zealous idiocy.

Most all of the prople in prisions are christians, and the second group would be Muslim. So a very small minority if any would be atheist. Christians comit most of the crime in the United States. Gota love them assholes
