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. Homeopathy was one, and when the hippie new age people started up a lot of JWs were old hippies and went to the granola way of medicine. Both are BS although some of the herb can be somewhat useful but not all that much. Homeopathy is total BS.

I know of several JW families who were deep into this as if it were some wonder medicine. My wife and I were given a box of Homeopathy medicine [sugar pills] as a wedding gift. I did not know much about it at the time and it was before the internet so information was not near as easy to find. I did find some books on the subject and found it really was insane. The more a medicine herb is diluted the stronger it is. We used to say if I don't take any will I OD?

I was told things like "the queen of England uses Homeopathy." Well that was an appeal to authority. James Randi used to take a whole bottle of Homeopathy sleeping pills in his talks on the subject. He said Don't worry, I have done this many many times and its just sugar pills.

Many of the JWs I knew were as invested into this garbage as they were in the religion. At first it sounded like it may be something to this. But as I pulled back the wool it did not take much to see it was nothing but BS. I don't think that the JWs in general are as anti modern medicine as they were in the 60s and 70s. Am I wrong? Do they still go for this stupid type of thing or is it not near as big of a thing as it was back them.

A JW prophecy VISIBLY failing!

by BoogerMan in

w85 7/1 p. 21 par.

16 - an increasing “great crowd...out of all nations” are flocking to the org jehovah’s worship.

the brooklyn pharisees assured the sheeple for decades that isaiah 2:2, micah 4:1-3, & haggai 2:7 were prophetically.

Over my years in the religion or so called religion, I have noticed that most JWs who are big PIMIs do not really care about any change. Its their group and they will defend it no matter what is changed or does not work out. I mean my go they only lost 10 percent or so after 1975. If that does not wake one up what would? Cult members are usually invested in a cult and do not think they are in a cult.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

by Newly Enlightened in

original reddit post (removed).

Personally I like Evans videos. He has a good way of presenting. I don't really care what he dose in his private life. None of my business. I know he has a huge ego and I would most likely not want to have a beer with him, and I know I do not have a thing in common with him in politics. But he has a good way of presenting the JW stuff.

Does anyone have a photo copy they can share of a TMS topic?

by jojorabbit in

i am looking for a tms that was published in the early 70s that said many have sold homes to go where the need was great, this is a fine way to spend ones time in the last days.

i am trying to remember how it was said to the best of my knowledge but this is close.

gonebad, I have that very BV. I just acquired a hard to find. 1947 BV that says the Catholic Excommunication is evil and unbiblical. The JWs did say all these things. The recordings of the talks "Stay Alive Till 75!" are still around. It was no secret at the time they were pushing the idea that the end would come in 1975. I know of several family's in my area that quit jobs and moved to the country side in my area. After that came and went many said they did not move to the rural areas for 1975. It was just a move. LOL they are lying through their teeth. Such cognitive dissonance and delusion JWs have to live it.

Its funny, but they are always hiding old writings. As time goes on they have more and more they have to hide. This group is so full of crap its crazy. I know of several older ones who are changing their mind because they are in their 80s and nothing not one thing has happened the way they were told it would. Old people trying to live off of Social Security because they put nothing away for retirement and now can not work. Its sad, they made their bed but its sad.

Links to articles of letter of recomendation

by jojorabbit in

i am new to this forum.

i was a former jehovah's witness for many years.

i have a question maybe some of you can help me with.

jojorabbit

Titch, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly, it was a figurative letter nothing tangible. As far as being a JW I was born in and a JW for about 30 years give or take. I left in the late 90s and never looked back except for research and learning more about my former nutso religion I was part of. I was just looking for my CD I think it was called 1995 JW library. I can not remember how far back that went into archived JW printings. I was going to search it to see if that phrase was ever used in the writings. Thanks for the reply.
