the book is recommended reading in my bioethics law class.
this is a law/medicine class that combines students from the school of medicine, the school of public health, and the school of law, so a broad cross-section of people will base their opinions of jws on this book.
my fellow students include a working neonatologist, a japanese health department employee, a chinese gentleman who works for some chinese gov't agency, a north african lawyer, an australian international health care worker, an undergrad ethics professor from a different, but local, university, and a social worker who is a fellow at a local pediatric bioethics foundation.
And only a small minority of all the witnesses i've encountered used alternative medicine. i guess my anecdotal data trumps yours.
also i'm sorry to tell you but alternative medicine is all snake oil.
the wt writing cautionary statements about alternative medicine doesn't mean jack shit. they write warnings for literally everything. see the thread here http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/244690/1/Crazy-Weird-Quotes-in-1-15-WT-Article-WT-Society-Opinions-Nothing-More

I see. When you stated what I quoted that implies that JW's have a thing for alternative, which is probably not the case. I'm going to guess that the percentage of JW's who use alternative medicine is the same as non-JW's.
Also, I'm sure you know this, but for anyone reading this, using alternative medicine for treating cancer is dumb.

" He also addresses the penchant for JWs to seek alternative treatments."
I get what the writer is trying to say but presenting anecdotal evidence is dumb.
my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .
Even before I faded I stopped ordering the calendar years before that. I just DON'T use physical calendars anymore.
i had a random thought this morning about clapping.
growing up in the wt culture i learned the proper protocol for clapping.
before the assembly speaker gave his talk, but not after.
There was a Question Box from 3 or 4 years ago that even specified not to clap during certain things at meetings such as demonstrations and other things. I'd have to dig it up but that would require installing the WT Library
i won't follow a theme on this thread .
i'm just going to supply weird quotes from the current 1/15 wt article " keep drawing close to jehovah " and then you can draw your own takes and conclusions on these insane " opinions " from the wt society.. paragraph 3 : " marketers cleverly convince people that they must have the latest products.
one young man so passionately desired a particular tablet computer that he secretly sold one of his kidneys to buy it.
I actually remember that story when it happened though. It gained a certain amount of press just because of how bizarre it is.

The kidney story is actually true, though.

just got back from florida where i spent the holidays with family.
about half are jdubs.. this year the prevalent atmosphere of superiority from the jw side of the family was totally toned down.
one of my cousins, a bethelite in upstate ny bethel along with his wife, found out that the wife was having an affair with a young bethelite "brother".
Keeping IP logs of visits and downloads is standard for literally every website.
As for the keeping track of what sites are visited, I assume you're referring to computers at Bethel. That's perfectly legal. If you're using company equipment, whether it's the computer or the internet connection there, they can monitor that stuff. Pretty common place in any sort of large work environment.
i have been putting all my cds onto my new ipod.. i am only half way through this, and my hard disk is almost full, as itunes keeps the audio files on the computer.. every time i plug in my ipod, any tracks i have removed from my hard drive to make room for new music is deleted from the ipod.. i want to keep all the music on the ipod, and get rid of all the cds stored on my hard disk without them being removed form the ipod.. the instructions are so rudimentary i dont know what to do.
i am not prepared to buy yet another computer because of this.. help appreciated.. hb.
It's not a requirement. Storage is ridiculously cheap. Sorry you have a small hard drive.

Manually managing is a PITA. Plus if he deletes all his content from his computer and something happens to his iPod, He'll have to do it all over again. This sounds dumb, but if he's going to use an iPod, he should use it the way it was designed to function.
