  What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

  i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

  instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

  give it a few months, perhaps all jws will have to make hard decisions about blood based treatments.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-29084254.

  the blood of patients who recover from ebola should be used to treat others, the world health organization has announced.. west africa is facing the largest ebola outbreak in history and more than 2,000 people have died.. a global group of experts have been meeting to assess the experimental therapies that could contain ebola.. the who also announced that ebola vaccines could be used on the frontline by november.. blood medicine.

  people produce antibodies in the blood in an attempt to fight off an ebola infection.. in theory, those antibodies can be transferred from a survivor into a sick patient to give their immune system a boost.. however, large scale data on the effectiveness of the therapy is lacking.. studies on the 1995 outbreak of ebola in democratic republic of congo showed seven out of eight people survived after being given the therapy.. dr marie paule kieny, an assistant director general at who said: "we agreed that whole blood therapies may be used to treat ebola virus and all efforts must be invested to help infected countries to use them..

  The blood of patients who recover from Ebola should be used to treat others, the World Health Organization has announced.

  West Africa is facing the largest Ebola outbreak in history and more than 2,000 people have died.

  A global group of experts have been meeting to assess the experimental therapies that could contain Ebola.

  The WHO also announced that Ebola vaccines could be used on the frontline by November.

  Blood medicine

  People produce antibodies in the blood in an attempt to fight off an Ebola infection.

  In theory, those antibodies can be transferred from a survivor into a sick patient to give their immune system a boost.

  However, large scale data on the effectiveness of the therapy is lacking.

  Studies on the 1995 outbreak of Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo showed seven out of eight people survived after being given the therapy.

  Dr Marie Paule Kieny, an assistant director general at WHO said: "We agreed that whole blood therapies may be used to treat Ebola virus and all efforts must be invested to help infected countries to use them.

  "There is a real opportunity that a blood-derived product can be used now and this can be very effective in terms of treating patients."

  She said that it was the one positive aspect of so many people being infected.

  "There are also many people now who have survived and are doing well. They can provide blood to treat the other people who are sick."

  Vaccines

  There is no clinically proven drug or vaccine to treat Ebola, but many are in the experimental stage.

  Around 150 experts have spent the last two days investigating how to fast-track promising experimental drugs to make them available in West Africa as soon as possible.

  Ebola vaccine trials started in the US this week and will be extended to centres in the UK, Mali and Gambia in the coming weeks.

  The first person to take part in a vaccine trial was a 39-year-old in the US

  The WHO said safety data would be ready by November 2014 and, if it proved safe, would be used in West Africa immediately.

  Healthcare workers and other frontline staff would be prioritised for vaccination, the WHO said.

  Experimental drugs - such as ZMapp, which has been used in seven patients including a British volunteer nurse - were also assessed.

  However, the supplies of all the experimental drugs are very limited, if not exhausted.

  The WHO said efforts were underway to increase production, but it would take several months.

  Dr Jesse Goodman, from Georgetown University Medical Center in the US, took part in the meeting.

  He said: "This is a unique opportunity to identify what new treatments and vaccines can really help people and then potentially accelerate their use.

  "We don't want to end up after this outbreak not knowing how best to prevent or treat the next one."

  Yet the WHO warned that all the talk of experimental therapies must not detract from the proven methods of infection control which have defeated all previous outbreaks.

  Meanwhile, officials in Nigeria have decided to reopen schools in the country from 22 September.

  They were closed as a precaution to prevent the spread of the virus.

  My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic

  by passwordprotected in

  2. experiences

  i first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.

  at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.

  april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

  Thanks for the update. We arrived here around the same time and I wondered what happened with you to end the born again phase. I'm glad you've found peace.

  The org should stump up for Ashya King's treatment

  all the jws on my facebook news feed are defending the family vigorously and rightly so imo.

  if the watchtower had any sense they would step up and offer to pay for ashya's treatment.

  that would do far more for their profile than their website publicity campaign.

  hey all, it's been a long time since i've posted anything here.

  this may be of interest to some people, or not.

  and i'm not sure if this has been announced in the congregations, even, because thankfully i have not attended any meetings in quite some time.

  Interesting, thanks for posting. It sounds an awful lot like the (phoney) rationale for this too http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/279555/1/WTS-buys-c2a31-000-000-luxury-sea-front-property-in-Wales-UK
