  Now the WT Society is Telling Witnesses- Don't Worry too Much About Health

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  in the nov.15th watchtower that a lurking witness friend i have on the board sent me , it really guilts the witnesses into not worrying about their health but pushes them to do more, more, more.

  it has a disgusting picture of perfect martyrdom of a sister in a wheelchair witnessing to a lady at her door with the caption, " despite health problems , jehovah's people find joy in the ministry.

  a few twisted points i wanted to share to show you how mind controlled the witnesses are in even controlling it's members view of showing concern for their health !

  That's right....let THEM tell you whats good for you, like this little tidbit

  *** The Golden Age, Nov. 12, 1929, p. 107 ***

  If the organs [of your body] are diseased, heal them by correcting your diet. Avoid the use of aluminum cooking utensils and alum baking powders as they are injurious to your health, poisoning your blood stream... Sleep on the right side or flat on your back, with the head toward the north so as to get benefit of the earth's magnetic currents. Avoid serum inoculations as they pollute the blood stream with their filthy pus.... Stop chewing gum, as you need the saliva for your food.

  Watchtower Jan 15 1912 (reprints p.4963) ***

  It is known that only about three out of every one hundred operated upon for appendicitis really have a diseased appendix needing removal. We give below a simple cure for appendicitis symptoms. The pain in the appendix region is caused by the biting of worms near the junction of the transverse colon with the small intestines, low down on the right side of the abdomen. This remedy is recommended also for typhoid fever, which is also a worm disease. The medicine is Santonine dose, 3 grains, an hour before breakfast; repeated for four mornings, or until all the symptoms disappear. Then one dose per month for three months to eradicate all germs. This recipe is of INCALCULABLE VALUE. Not only will it save the surgeon's and hospital fees of perhaps $200, but it saves weeks of ill health, inconvenience, convalescence and loss of salary.

  ***Watchtower 1913 July 1 p. 200 A Cure for Surface Cancer ***

  ... We have recently learned of a very effective and simple remedy for cancers which show themselves on the surface of the body. We are informed that a physician, after testing this remedy, paid $1000 for the information, and that he has established a Cancer Hospital which is doing good work. The recipe has come to us free and we are willing to communicate the formula, but only to those who are troubled with surface cancers and who will write to us directly, stating particulars. No fee will be charge, but in order to protect the sufferers, we require a promise that they will not sell the formula to others, nor receive pay for the use of it, nor communicate the formula to anybody. Any one known to be a sufferer can be informed of the terms on which the prescription is obtainable through us.

  As Blondies program showed......it's stronger hype for the ministry and alot of emphasis on obeidience to the Faithfull and Discreet Slave.

  One-a-these-days I'm gonna get the nerve to jump up on stage and pull down my nice slacks and point at my scrotum and tell them all these jewells of mine have more to offer than a years worth of this shit crap.

  Whenever the U.S. gets in hot water, the end is always closer. Nations have been struggling, starving, and been in chaos for centuries.......but when troubles hit the U.S., for some reason it always means the end must be near. The old assholes who run the show cannot see past Brooklyn or the U.S.

  One witness just told me he thinks that the government will soon turn on religion and take all their monies to solve the economy crisis and this will start the G.T.

  The belief once was that if your witness mate insisted on oral sex, you could scripturally divorce them.

  I always wondered just HOW a witness could/would INSIST on Oral Sex from their mate. Hold a gun to their head maybe? Threaten to pull their hair out? What exactly?

  And, what did the innocent one say to the elders when they asked the question...." why did you give in". In other words, why wasn't the innocent one also responsible for performing the act? If a strange man came along and INSISTED that a witness woman gave him oral sex and never threatened her with her life and she gave it to him.......wouldn't she be guilty of adultry?

  What would be the diffrence if a womans own husband insists on oral sex? She is innocent in this case and can scripturally divorce him ( back when this was the policy), yet if a man who isn't her hubby insists on it and she complies, she gets DFed or at least some heavy reproof.

  Why do they Continue to Request for more Bethel Workers?

  by gumby in

  2. beliefs

  at the last district assembly, each time they gave the announcments they said, "if anyone would like to sign up for bethel service, go to the attenance desk".. they have just released over 1100 workers and they are asking for more volunteers?

  anyone else had that question?

  are there any here who were dismissed from bethel just recently and know the answer?

  Bethel primarily needs unskilled labor, best done by submissive young men

  The young man that I discussed this with who was recently released is only 22 years old and was a toilet scrubber, so I wouldn't say it's young unskilled workers that they want. I'd have to go along with those who think it's "skilled" workers they want with all the new construction going on and a possible selling off of Watchtower properties in N.Y. and needing facilities elsewhere should they sell their properties in N.Y.

Are there any here who were dismissed from Bethel just recently and know the answer? I asked a brother who was released and he said..."They still have to ask". I asked why and he didn't know.

  If it's skilled labor they need......why not simply ask for the trades they lack in, rather than ask a general question that's an invite for all?

  Hi there Blondie, hope all is well.

  I looked these over and the one I didn't understand was "Wealth without Work".

  If a person inherited 100 million dollars, why would this be a sin? The others made sense to me except for this one. I realise many of the wealthy who never lifted a finger become/are on the rotton side, but not all.

  I'm sure I'm seeing it different than he meant it

  The witnesses reasoning on WHY they continue to expand and build new buildings is because they claim that no doubt all these facilities will CONTINUE to be used right on through armageddon. They feel that there will still need to be direction from a source with nearly 7 thousand witnesses to organize and give instuctions to. You silly apostates, you just don't use yer damn heads....do ya now? Gumghandi

  Who is it that actually pays for the CO's living expenses such as the car, gas, insurance, housing, food, etc.? Is it the WTS itself or is it the individual congregations?

  Dadgum hardheaded woman! I done told ya it was the congregations responsibility! Those tight bastards in N.Y. always put the burden in financial matters on the publishers shoulders.

  I'll be back to get that dweeb dude a little later
