hahahahahahah AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO COME FROM WHERE?

Watchtower Jan 15 1912 (reprints p.4963)

It is known that only about three out of every one hundred operated upon for appendicitis really have a diseased appendix needing removal. We give below a simple cure for appendicitis symptoms. The pain in the appendix region is caused by the biting of worms near the junction of the transverse colon with the small intestines, low down on the right side of the abdomen. This remedy is recommended also for typhoid fever, which is also a worm disease. The medicine is Santonine dose, 3 grains, an hour before breakfast; repeated for four mornings, or until all the symptoms disappear. Then one dose per month for three months to eradicate all germs. This recipe is of INCALCULABLE VALUE. Not only will it save the surgeon's and hospital fees of perhaps $200, but it saves weeks of ill health, inconvenience, convalescence and loss of salary.

THAT is so funny.
will

seriously?

You gotta love the internet where these words of wisdom can remain forever

Buwahahahahaha! worms...buwhahahahahahaha!

"It has never been proven that no single disease is due to germs." - The Golden Age, Jan 16, 1924

"Disease is Wrong Vibration. From what has thus far been said, it will be apparent to all that any disease is simply an 'out of tune' condition of some part of the organism. In other words the affected part of the body 'vibrates' higher or lower than normal...the Electronic Radio Biola...automatically diagnoses and treats diseases by the use of electronic vibrations. The diagnosis is 100 percent correct, rendering better service in this respect than the most experienced diagnostician, and without any attending cost." - Advertisement for the Watchtower Electronic Radio Biola, The Golden Age, Apr. 22, 1925, pp. 453.

Thinking people would rather have smallpox than vaccination, because the latter sows the seed of syphilis, cancers, eczema, erysipelas, scrofula, consumption, even leprosy and many other loathsome affections. Hence the practice of vaccination is a crime, an outrage and a delusion." - The Golden Age, May 1, 1929 page 502

"Avoid serum inoculations and vaccinations as they pollute the blood stream with their filthy pus." - The Golden Age, Nov. 13, 1929, pp. 106, 107

ihv after reading the past quotes from the wt one has to simply love this one.. it appears their god is one sadistic goof off

I have to say in all fairness that this was a common thought not just from the 'WTS'. Imagine how many died from medicine for worms.
You got to love it.
But then there's the FDS not doing its job listening to the HS.

But that is not applicable to jehovah's witnesses, their claim is that man did not write this stuff, that it came from God and God was not subject to the "common thought" God knows everything.

Makes you wonder how they got it wrong.

Well, obviously it has to be truth since it came from a Watchtower magazine.

It was this type of "food at the proper time" that caused them to pass god's inspection, right? Right?

That's what I meant by the latter. Doesn't look good.

Wonder whose inspection they passed.

We all have heard the reason a jehovah's witness is supposed to believe that the Watchtower Society was chosen as God's only true organisation is because they were supplying the right sort of food, the truth, when Jesus inspected the organisation in 1919.

Their teaching is that between 1914 and 1919 they removed the shackles of false Babylonian practice.

They claim that in 1914 Jesus took rule and first cleansed the heavens.

"Jesus cleansed the heavens of Satan and his demons, hurling them down to the earth. After seeing this occur in vision, John hears a heavenly voice proclaim: Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ! Yes, in 1914 Christ began ruling as King!" Watchtower 1991 May 15 p.9

Three and a half years later, in 1918 he cleansed his spiritual temple on earth.

"In 1918, three and a half years after his enthronement, he cleansed jehovah's spiritual temple, as represented on earth by the congregation of anointed Christians." Isaiah's Prophecy Light for all Mankind II p.348

"... finally cleansed by a fiery test by 1918, the matured slave as represented by a remnant now stood ready for new assignments of service." Watchtower 1960 Jul 15 p.436

In 1919 Jesus re-inspected the organisation and found it clean.

"Anointed Christians who survived the testing period of 1914-19 were freed from the dominating influence of the world and from many Babylonish religious practices. The remnant went forward as a cleansed and refined people, willingly offering sacrifices of praise to God and having the assurance that they as a people were acceptable to him." Watchtower 1998 May 15 p.17

"In 1919 the cleansed slave class could look forward to ever-expanding activities." Watchtower 1993 May 1 p.16

Jesus is said to have chosen the Watchtower Society as his only means of salvation because it was the only organisation providing food at the proper time, and so justly appointed over all Jesus belongings.

"The serving of food, the right sort of food, at the proper time was the issue. It had to be according to this that a decision must be rendered by the returned master... On inspecting the remnant of his anointed disciples in the year 1919 C.E., the reigning King Jesus Christ did find the appointed slave faithful and discreet in the feeding of his domestics. Accordingly, he appointed this slave class over all his belongings." Gods Kingdom of a Thousand Years Has Approached pp.350,355

Is this really what Jesus found in 1919 when he inspected the Watchtower Society?

No, here's the following teachings he found being promoted:

The "Last Days" started in 1799 and the 1800s were the worst time period of all history

That Jesus presence commenced in 1874

That Jesus had begun ruling in 1878

Armageddon had occurred in 1914

That the end was going to come in 1925

That blood was acceptable as food for Christians

That Jesus should be prayed to and worshipped, as well as Jehovah

That the Great Crowd were a heavenly class

That birthdays and Christmas were acceptable celebrations

The cross was on the cover of the Watchtower

Teachings adapted from Freemasons, such as that pyramids and astrology supported 1914

Strong Zionist support for a new nation of Israel in fulfillment of Bible prophecy

That the Faithful and Discreet Slave was not the anointed, but rather Pastor Russell

And your point? Only the bible is inspired. Witnesses have never claimed inspiration for the wt's or other literature. They are simply tools that direct to the bible.

They did quote the most up to date information in various areas including medicine but only to keep people informed.

Notably our rejection of smoking cigarettes when the dangers became medically known was decades ahead of sluggish governments that have waited till the medical bills have outweighed the financial gain through taxes.

My point is that this is a freakin lie!

"God uses The Watch Tower to communicate to his people; it does not consist of men's opinions." - Watchtower 1/1/1942, page 5

My point is that God does not use the Watch Tower.

God cannot look upon the Watch Tower, it is full of sin.

It is built upon lies!
