  CANCER - AND THE DANGERS OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE!

  by Dansk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear all,.

  i've thought long and hard before writing this - which came about after linda (fullofdoubtnow), who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, was recommended alternative treatments to mainstream medicine.

  i believe i am in a strong position to know just how effective many (most/all?

  Former brother:

  Alternatives are often good as preventive medicine, but when you get hit with the disease you better go to someone with a lot o real formal education.

  Also as greedawn said, lots of JW's buy into this stuff of doctors actually letting people die rather than using some sort of secret cure. I have an in-law like that. She buys into any alternative medicine cure, and everyone has cured her of a stomach ailment that she continues to have to this day after 20 years of many, many cures!!!

  He puts it in their hearts

  at meeting yesterday a thought came to me - my mind was wandering most of the session as it was so boring - about how the jws say that god will put it into the hearts of the political leaders to overturn religion at the start of the great tribulation.

  they also claim this about maneuvered events in the ot too.

  jws also claim that when someone has the right heart condition, they come to find jah.

  fee will or no free will that is the question... that the Bible can not answer because it contains the thoughts and writings of a great diversity of people living in different times, with different interests, even different conceptions of God and his will. That's why the Bible is so useful to support any idea, from the greatest good deed to the most evil

  that spiritual captivity lasted from the second century c.e.

  The Bible was put together and called the Word of God during the spiritual captivity (second to fourth century C.E.). So the Bible is the work of apostates,or Satan himself.

  this will be only the 3rd time he's spoken from the oval office in his seven years so it's probably going to be something pretty big.

  combat troops being sent into syria?

  unilateral movement on gun control?.

  No edit option?

  OK, my previous comment was a response to DarioK's last paragraph

  The Anthropocene Extinction is underway right now due to our collective greed, jealousy, xenophobia, exploitation and outright raping of our entire planet. Good job, human race. Good job. We deserve what's coming IMHO, not from terrorists or politicians, but from Mother Nature. Her response will ultimately solve the problem (us) & bring this planet back into balance.

  Calm down. The population is large and diverse enough. Remember "survival of the fittest". In the coming years humanity is just going to be refined to live in a gradually changing environment. And contrary to what you believe, humanity is not that stupid or evil. It's only stupid enough to make mistakes, but smart enough to correct them. No need to bring your WT mentality. Just work with one human at the time to educate them into stopping and possibly even reversing the damage. Plenty of people, including those "evil" politicians are working on that already. Go back to kingdom halls meetings. They need your voice there.

  Blondie,

  Still, the public of the pope and the hiring of an external auditor is far more than the Watchtower is willing to do or will ever do.

  The best thing to get her out is to have her watch JW.org. Diligently watch everything that is being said and dissect it to the bare bone using reason. There's nothing better for her. If she is good material to go out, she will be out in a year. If she was born to be a drone, nothing will get her out, not JWfacts, not JWN, not even Tony.

  Simon most the people locked up here are minor offenses and pot possession. Not violent crime. Another big mess

  You are not providing data to back up your point. Most of those who committed the offenses knew the rules, but went ahead and violated them. I remember mayor Rudy Giuliani turned around New York precisely by punishing serious and petty offenses. Law enforcement has to be serious about penalties.

  What's the point of making laws if they are not enforced. If you don't like the petty crime laws vote your representatives out of office,
