Dear CoCo, I never knew

your poignant story ... so as to not forget even one of them,
but my deepest empathy to all of you.

Our Stories and Why They Matter
by Farkel instories are perhaps the most important thing we can contribute to others in our short life on planet earth.. mind you, i am not saying that stories are the most important things in our lives, because they are not.
the most important things in our lives are experiences, which are moment-by-moment things.
the best we can do with our own experiences is to tell stories about them, which will never convey the actual living of them.

Farkel,
Block out every other thing from your mind ... and just write. For you.

How can I support your search for the truth about The Truth?
by Lion Cask inif you are an active but curious jehovah's witness, this question is to you.
comments from others welcome.. i have an image of you in my mind.
i see you secluded in your room with the door closed, speakers off or on low so you can hear the footsteps of anyone approaching, and you are quietly venturing into forbidden places.

"Some people think we don't believe in medical treatment."
by compound complex ini have just read farkel's [hi farkel .
the statement appearing in the thread title was made at the kh.
do you think - or know - if such sentiments hearken back to the craziness of woodworth and franz and their off-center and ignorant medical advice in the golden age and other wt publications?

CoCo....
...do you think this explains some of the crazyness? lol
The Golden Age and other Society publications were so full of bizarre material on health that it’s hard to believe. Here’s a sampling of some of their statements which may give the reader an idea:
"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. [27]
But the dog-rabies-vaccine imposition is the latest.... Rabies! When it has been shown conclusively that there is no such thing as rabies![28]The earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultrua-violet rays, which are healing. [29]
It has never been proven that a single disease is due to germs. 30
Quite likely there is some connection between the violation of human blood [vaccines] and the spread of demonism.... [31]Milk is the greatest curative food known. [32]"

CoCo hi,
I think that it may be a leftover inference to earlier beliefs or notions from Russell's day. Then of course is the blood transfusion issue, which seems to indicate that JW's are quite unreasonable when it comes to medical intervention.
Also many people, myself included, just do not like running to doctors for all the answers. The fact that the death rate goes down when doctors go on strike, gives good reason to think twice about the so called 'Health Care' system!!

CHRIST is not my MEDIATOR? coincidental?
by clarity inshocking, that i never realized that christ was not my mediator until 2 yrs ago!.
funny, the things the watchtower comes up with......i wonder where all these new 'teachings' hatch from?
imagine the gb sitting in their 'secret' office scratching their collective heads, searching for new leads!

What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!
by koolaid-man innote the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.
many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.
foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

Great post, classic really! I could 'feel' the meaning in every word and agree entirely with your observations.
Look forward to when you are bequeathed another few posts in the next 24 hrs! lol
