I hope you'll reconsider telling her you won't go back to meetings at least for the time being. It might shock her into "waking up," in a bad way, and realize she's been slacking off in her meeting attendance and conduct. (A birthday cake--imagine!) I'm afraid if it backfired she might become determined to become "spiritually stronger." NOT the outcome you're hoping for!

Who we should look to for "accurate" medical information--Where's the article?
by JustMe2 ina number of threads discuss some of the extreme, even bizarre, medical advice that's been given in wtbs publications over the years.
it's ironic, then, that years ago an awake!
or watchtower article warned of the need to be on guard regarding certain extreme forms of alternative medicine.

Thank you, again, BluesBrother. Maybe I'm just misremembering the article, or, rather, remembering a part of it that never existed!

Thank you for your help. (I saw your post after I put up my last comment.) That sounds like the article I remember. Does it say anything, probably toward the end, about relying on the WBTS for accurate health information? It may have given the impression that the Society's literature was a sufficient source of such info.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I wasn't able to find the article by searching the Watchtower Online Library. Perhaps the article is in an older part of the archives.

A number of threads discuss some of the extreme, even bizarre, medical advice that's been given in WTBS publications over the years. It's ironic, then, that years ago an Awake! or Watchtower article warned of the need to be on guard regarding certain extreme forms of alternative medicine. (Iridology may have been one of the treatments mentioned.) If I remember correctly, it cautioned about looking to "worldly" sources for medical advice. It then recommended the Awake! as a reliable source. Could someone find and post the relevant portion of that article? Thanks!
My reaction at the time was that the Society's literature could hardly be relied on as a sufficient source of health information, both as regards the number of illnesses covered and the depth of material provided. I wasn't even thinking of some of the interesting "reliable" advice provided in the past!

The real reason the WBATS don't want you in college!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe wbats have ramped up no college for jws once again.
the first time they backed off of it is because they noticed a person flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets are not able to donate much money... so the wtbats says lets allow them to at least get a 2 year degree, then they can donate a little more... this goes on for awhile, but then the wbats notice that many who go to college are leaving...
well because they gain knowledge and distance themselves from the cult and it's ignorance, have access to outside sources, and eventually learn ttatt!!!

On another point, the article seems to be providing a more liberal view of extracurricular activities than I remember. It says, "Christian youths need to maintain the proper balance between serving the true God and participating in other activities. Those who do so are heading for success in life and deserve warm commendation. Some young Christians, though, become heavily involved in extracurricular activities and hobbies. Such activities may not in themselves be objectionable."
Didn't the Society's stand used to be that ANY extracurricular activities would involve bad associations and an improper use of time? Could someone find that info?

I strongly agree with ruderedhead's advice to consider seeking professional help. Also, a physician may be able to help with your migraines, weight loss, etc. Journal writing can be a great way to relieve painful feelings and sort out your thoughts. And, of course, you can always find a sympathetic ear here. But please do seriously consider talking to a professional. It may help you get a better perspective on your situation, deal with the emotions you're experiencing, and gain the strength you need to cope. You CAN find the strength to get through this, even though it doesn't seem so at the time. Take care, and I hope you're soon feeling better.
