FreeTheMasons...nice to meet you, also! Interestingly enough, I don't necessarily 'feel good about my pills' as you will note from my comments. In my life I have consulted with a Homeopath, a Naturopath, four Chiropractors, and an Osteopath. All nice people and all of whom helped me in one way or another. But I would not engage any of them for something that standardized Allopathic medicine treats successfully. (The Naturopathic physician taught me that as well as the writings of Dr. Andrew Weil) I am sorry that your experiences with the medical community have not always been positive. My brother feels the same way. By the way, I LOVED your anecdote about that SOB HOOD whether it be Sr or Jr!

I don't hate the medical indu$try. Modern allopathic medicine has issues, I agree. However, in the last four years the medical community has saved my life THREE TIMES. I had severe discitis that almost killed me during Covid and then early this year I had a celiac artery aneurysm/dissection and later diverticulitis with a burst liver cyst. The antibiotics fucked me up but without them I would be dead. Sometimes we have to take the bad with the good. Thank you to the Maine Health System and the dedicated doctors that saved my life!

Sorcery = Pharmakeia
by KerryKing inrev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.. the interlinear for sorceries reads pharmakeia.. bible hub has some interesting definitions, i'll try to share screenshots below.
the gist of it is that sorcery involves drugs/medicines/poisons, with or without spells, sorcery is not the same as witchcraft or divination, or white/black magic.
i have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.. considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, nsaids with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, i wonder am i going mad, are these all coincidences??

Excerpt from my Bethel Service Invitation Letter:
"...I hope by Jehovah's undeserved kindness you will remain much longer and become a permanent member of the Bethel family." - N. H . Knorr May 20, 1974
Wait!?...What!? Another unilateral contract from Jehovah and his organization? Let the buyer beware.

The org's "new lights" - corrupting Proverbs 4:18
by BoogerMan inproverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".
the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.
15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?

"Revelation 16:16 calls it the "war of the great day of God the Almighty," Armageddon. This war will come in the twentieth century. It will come right on schedule...This generation will see its fulfillment." - AWAKE Feb, 22, 1961 pg 8. That prediction can't be any clearer. IT WAS A LIE! The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society fooling the gullible since July 1879. (Rattigan included)

Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.
the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.
i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

Balaamsass2...was that the 1969 PEACE ON EARTH 8 day assembly held at Dodger Stadium? I was there as a 14 year old boy with my family and single, dyed in the wool, God intoxicated, religious fanatic mother. We went to Disneyland, too! The ONLY thing I remember about the assembly itself was day 5 and the drama about immorality and young boys not learning to jerk off alone or with friends. Through the whole thing my mother kept sneaking looks at me to see my reaction to the drama. Many of us sure had a fucked up childhood growing up in this mess.

This video is great! I stand by my contention that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is made up of : FAKERS, FOOLS, FRAUDS AND FUCK-UPS. It has always been this way and hence shall always be this way.

"FYI, it is not a false prophesy because it was not a prophecy." - Rattigan350
Find a copy of WATCH TOWER PUBLICATIONS INDEX 1930-1960. Turn to page 202. There you will find the heading 1914. Go to subheading Kingdom's establishment and under that heading you will find the subsection : prophecies pointing to event. You may read to your hearts content the information cited by going to the website JW-Wayback(dot)org. Indeed the Governing Body DOES consider the year 1914 as being based on Bible prophecy and as I showed you in my previous post they feel that they are the "faithful and discreet slave" to whom Jehovah reveals prophecy as it is unfolding. Twist yourself into a mental pretzel and do linguistic gymnastics all you want to continue to defend the lies of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. Just don't expect others to accept your viewpoint in the face of what the facts are.
