studies have found an increased risk of mortality, up to 63 percent, among long-term paracetamol users, compared to those who had not been prescribed the drug during the study period (http://www.interaksyon.com/article/106187/long-term-paracetamol-use-poses-risk-says-study).
Aspirin knocks my commencing migraines out of the park in 5 - 15 minutes - very little tunnel vision and no freight-train parking on my head ! But to each one his own poison.
Paracetamol gives me an ache in the liver region straight away !

What usually happens in the Borg is that a Heavy 7 will state something like this in a high level talk eg zone visit and then the elders reinterpret and reinvent this as a "rule" and then it becomes the "local rule"/
eg It was never specifically said that the Big A was coming in 1975 but the mass hype and hysteria shows that dubs reinterpreted it, started cashing out etc and the WTS loved it ! They did NOTHING to stop the hype and of course when CO's and DO's started reinforcing the "new rule" it became Law !
So don't be surprised if a young man gets told off -
What is now definitely a trend in my part of the world is that couples are marrying at 17 or 18 Just attended a wedding last year where the lady of 18 had just finished her final year at High School [Called Matriculation] and got engaged within a month of that - Dec and hitched in May/ All with everyone's blessing of course - so maybe they are trying to cap young marriages. Kids are horny as hell these days so they cant risk the DF'ing [they got baptised at 6, 7 or 8 anyway not so ? ] so they have a 10 year investment in the Borg at risk !

A DISGRUNTLED Jehovah’s Witness was caught on camera poisoning his elder’s milk with weed killer after being excommunicated over an extramarital affair, a court has heard.
For the first time, The Advertiser can name and show Brett Darren Mardon, who is standing trial accused of attempting to put three lives at risk — the elder, his wife and their young child.
He has denied injecting milk, apple juice and other liquids in the refrigerator of Ben Anthanysz with glyphosate — a weed killer that causes health problems if consumed in large quantities.
Mardon has maintained his innocence of the charges despite being recorded by a CCTV camera mounted in the Anthanysz’s kitchen.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Nick Healy said Mardon’s actions were a vengeful response to his church peers ignoring his existence, as required by their faith.
He said Mr Anthanysz had been part of a three-person Jehovah’s Witness committee that censured Mardon “for having sex with someone while married”.
Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid !
a talk was given by gb member david splane in the february 2015 jw broadcasting video.
he talks about unity and sings the praises of jws.
he points his finger at the catholics and says this about them (39.32)-.
The RCC did not act as a Unit for the Nazis or against it - so RCC in "commonwealth countries" supported the Allies etc
In South Africa the RCC was a true haven for the Anti-apartheid movement and its activists and yet conversely in the Rwandan conflict there was a lot of involvement in the genocide.
RCC in South Africa had mixed race services even though it could and did cause problems with the Apartheid Govt.
And anyone educated in a Catholic Convent School would probably testify to a really good education - my spouse certainly does !
i had a man walk by the cart and say "hey, you guys are now catching up the herbert armstrong's literature carts from the 1970s!
he wanted to know if our organization move's at the pace of "evolution" when it comes to adapting to social norms, what madness is he speaking about?
did herbert armstrong's crew have "the plain truth carts" in front of stores before jws had literature carts?
JW Cart - do you not know the scripture that says that if a JWCart just looks at a vitamin store cart so as to have a passion for her in his wheels it is as good as adultery !
I know ...its those 2 large .......wheels...... that get your bearings going hey ?
YOu are starting to worry us big time !
hi everybody, .
i am currently working on this subject in my blog just in case you are interested.. http://testigoscristianosdejehova.blogspot.com/2015/02/islamic-isis-christian-jehovahs_22.html.
thanks!.
This is from the Nov. 15th 1952 question from readers. This is directly from the CD btw:
Questions from Readers
•In the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshipped ,how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?—P.C.,Ontario, Canada.
We are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from God and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai and in the land of Palestine. "Thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him to death with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, . . . And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee."—Deut. 13:6-11,AS.
Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. However, God’s law requires us to recognize their being disfellowshipped from his congregation, and this despite the fact that the law of the land in which we live requires us under some natural obligation to live with and have dealings with such apostates under the same roof."
I ran this statement past people who are non-JW and they came back with the feeling that this statement strongly implies............" given half a chance ..this is how we would actually deal with apostates ....."-They too could be wrong !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nov 15, 2011 WT - "The prophet Elisha sent one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as king and to intruct him to kill every male of the apostate house of Ahab.—2 Ki. 8:28; 9:1-10." "Though the thought of violence is unpleasant, we should realize that in those days, Jehovah used his servants to carry out his judgments.... Today, no servant of Jehovah uses physical force against opponents of pure worship. “Vengeance is mine,” God says. (Heb.10:30) But to rid the congregation of potentially corrupting influences, Christian elders may have to act with courage similar to that of Jehu. (1 Cor. 5:9-13) And all members of the congregation need to be determined to avoid the company of disfellowshipped individuals.— 2 John 9-11." "Jehu announced that he intended to hold “a great sacrifice” for Baal. (2 Ki. 10:18, 19) “This is a clever play on words on the part of Jehu,” says one scholar. While the term employed here “generally means ‘sacrifice,’ it is also used of the ‘slaughter’ of apostates.” "It is true that Jehu spilled much blood. Yet, the Scriptures present him as a courageous man.
Again ....you be your own judge !

Police in Mangochi have arrested five members of a family for failing to donate blood to their 7-year old anaemic child due to religious beliefs, Malawi News Agency has established.
The five have been identified as 34 year old Simon Kamwendo (father of the child), his grandfather Bernard Kamwendo, 69, brothers Solomon and Divason Mwabwino, both 21, and Byson Chidandala an uncle to the child.
Failure to provide a child with necessities contravenes section 242 of the Penal Code, hence the arrest of the five who belong to the Jehovah's Witness faith.
A source, MacDonald Danger told Mana that medical doctors at Koche Health Centre diagnosed the boy of Malaria with anaemia and recommended blood transfusion, but the five rejected the prescription.
"The child was suffering from Malaria and was taken to Koche Health Centre where it was discovered that he was anaemic and needed blood," he said.
"When asked to donate, all the five guardians who are family members refused to do so saying that their faith does not allow them to receive or to donate blood," Danger added.
According to Danger, the resistance prompted officials at the hospital to seek the intervention of Makolola Police Unit, which led to the arrests.
Mangochi Police Station Public Relations Officer, Inspector Rodrick Maida confirmed the arrests of the five Jehova's Witness members.
"We arrested the five following a report from Koche clinic which asked for our intervention in the matter whereby these people were refusing to donate blood to a patient who needed to be saved from dying," he said.
He said the five will soon appear before the court to answer to a charge of failing to provide necessities to a child under their care.
All the five hail from Mapata Village in the area of Traditional Authority Mponda in Mangochi.
