It's not alternative medicine that's the problem. The problem is phony scam artists that offer things that aren't true.

JWs and Alternative Medicine.
by easyreader1970 intwo anti-doctor witnesses i am very familiar with are my mother-in-law and my used-to-be best friend's aunt.
by alternative medicine i mean holistic healing, herbal treatments, etc.
these people don't go to regular doctors but go to self-proclaimed specialists (i call them shamans) who tell them what foods and plants to eat that will make them all better.

Have you ever called the police to . . .
by Lady Lee inreport child abuse?.
here in canada, the month of october is child abuse awareness month.
our local news station reported a yell off about abuse: people had to yell a sentence ("stop child abuse" or some other comment appropriate to the issue) into a decibel reader to see how loudly people could yell their message.. so i got to wondering, how many of you have called the police if you even thought about calling on the police so they could make sure a child was ok or needed help.. i've done it at least three times - although for two of them i didn't know if children were involved.. the first was an argument i could hear several houses away.

Not the police, but I report suspected abuse to a camp supervisor when I was a camp counselor. I completed my ethical/moral obligation, and I was done. I hope the grandmother took the counsel to heart, and developed more patience for her grandson.
He had welts on his back. When questioned, he said they were "mosquito bites." Granny obviously told him to say that. I saw them, and took him to the head camp director. -

Au contraire, mon frere.
It is one thing to live in a situation where people are nosy.
It is quite another when they situations they see, or THINK they see, and then they relate info to other people like elders, who try to crucify you. -

Clergy-Gov.Control People
by cameo-d inaccording to this article, it seems that the clergy is now taking orders from the government.. .
a government plan to use members of the clergy to quell dissent and objections to government orders during a time of national emergency ..... .....primarily, "these clergy would already be known in the neighborhoods in which they're helping to diffuse that situation.
so government orders to abandon homes, turn over guns, leave livestock behind, or whatever would come to the minds of various officials during an "emergency," would be easier for people to accept, the report indicated.

There are no guarantees in life, but you are in a better position if you get as much education as you can stand and afford.
