  Homeopathy and Jehovah's Witnesses.

  years ago, the jws did not like modern medicine.

  vaccines and other things were all deemed bad.

  this gave rise to a lot of jws getting into alternative medicines.

  I had the opportunity to get to know Alfred Vogel when, at the age of about 90, he built his retirement home high above Lake Zurich and then visited my congregation at the time until his death. At the Memorial he partook of the symbols, for he had been there since the Bible Students days. He was no longer very active in the congregation, now and then he said the closing prayer, and if I remember correctly he was also made a ministry assistant (MS). His competence was naturopathy, homeopathy was only a small part of his work. With natural remedies he built a 100 million company based in Switzerland. Many, but not all, of his managers were Jehovah's Witnesses. Inside and outside the congregation he had his fan club, people who fanatically practiced the advice from The Little Doctor and had closets full of his products. Legends were entwined above all around his women's stories. At the time he was with his third (?) wife and had a mentally handicapped daughter from a previous marriage who lived in a nearby clinic. I hope I was able to disenchant Alfred Vogel's life a little...

  Alfred Vogel durfte ich im Alter von etwa 90 Jahren kennenlernen, er baute sein Altersheim hoch über dem Zürichsee und besuchte dann meine Gemeinde bis zu seinem Tod. Beim Gedächtnismahl nahm er an den Symbolen teil, denn er war seit den Tagen der Bibelforscher dort gewesen. Er war in der Gemeinde nicht sehr aktiv, manchmal sprach er das Schlussgebet, und wenn ich mich recht erinnere, wurde er auch zum Dienstamtsassistenten (MS) ernannt.

  Seine Kompetenz war die Naturheilkunde, die Homöopathie war nur ein kleiner Teil seiner Arbeit. Mit Naturheilmitteln baute er ein 100-Millionen-Unternehmen mit Sitz in der Schweiz auf. Viele, aber nicht alle seiner Manager waren Zeugen Jehovas. Innerhalb und außerhalb der Gemeinde hatte er seinen „Fanclub“, Menschen, die die Ratschläge aus „Der kleine Doktor“ fanatisch praktizierten und massenhaft seine Produkte kauften. Legenden ranken sich vor allem um seine Frauengeschichten. Er war damals mit seiner dritten (?) Frau zusammen und hatte eine geistig behinderte Tochter aus einer früheren Ehe, die in einer nahe gelegenen Klinik lebte. Ich hoffe ich konnte Alfred Vogels Leben ein wenig entzaubern...
