I grew up a 4th gen JW. The older ones born in the 30s or earlier who were affiliated with the cult did not like modern medicine. This may have gone away some due to them dying off. But I remember an old Brother Carl Kunde long since dead, who would say that modern medicine was full of greedy people and would go once a month to a quack Dr Benitt who was a chiropractor for an "adjustment. He said that all disease started in the bones and when his kids got their adjustment they would not be allowed to do anything for a day to let the adjustment "set in". My wife almost died because her family would not take her to get antibiotics when she had Rheumatic fever and took her to a Homeopathy Dr. I did not know it then but later found out that Homeopathy is such a load of bull crap. Its nothing but sugar pills with some kinds of herbs so diluted that its like putting a drop into an Olympic pool and then taking a drop of that for a cure. But cult members fell for this because of all the anti medical crap the cult was putting out in the thirty's and forties.

Most were old school who did not believe in modern medicine due to the Joe Rutherford crap on medicine. Anyone have any experience with this?

So I have an eye out for a couple of the more nefarious JW books from the past. I look on ebay Etsy and others. I see that the older books are selling for a good price. You could not give this stuff away 15 years ago. I believe its due to many leaving the cult and wanting to have the original books to hold the cult to what they said. This is why I have some of the more rare books like Millions now living, talking with the dead and Salvation to name a few. Anyone else see a rise in interest in the old books?

I thought New Zealand was a DECENT country!
by The Fall Guy ina criminal in nz- in this case a murderer - has the right not to be identified - even after conviction?
quote: "why was grace millane’s murderer granted anonymity?
the reasons for the so-called suppression order, like the name of the killer himself, cannot be given for legal reasons.

The UK and other countries have been covering up Muslim rapes and murders for years. Kahn's Londumb is now experiencing many knife attacks and other crimes. Even the liberal Monty Python cast like Palin and Cleese said they do not recognize London anymore and the liberal idiots piled on.

Why Did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009?
by JW_Researcher inwhile even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.
arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..
reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

Who’s The Best Actor/Actress? Who Is Overrated??
by minimus inone of my favorite actors is robert de niro.
some of his later movies were so so but overall i think he was outstanding.
meryl streep, i just never thought she was anything exciting yet people say she’s the best actress of all time.

They are all over rated. Some of the best films are where they use unknown actors to focus on the story. 1917 is one.

A loud mouth rich idiot who thinks he knows what is best for you. A control freak that wants to tell you what you can drink and you can not protect yourself with a firearm while he has several heavily armed guards around him at all times. Its a known fact he wants to limit sodium while he has popcorn delivered with a salt shaker because he eats large amounts of it. He is a do as I say not as I do liberal idiot.
