AMERICA’S #1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an
article published by the American Institute of Stress that
claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor
AIDS. The report says: “It has been estimated that 75-90 percent
of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related
problems.”
It is no exaggeration to say that people today are being
assaulted by stress. According to the National Consumers League,
“work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems
and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other
sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and
concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”
However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British
survey in 2002 estimated that “over half a million individuals
in Britain believed in 2001/2 that they were experiencing work-
related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result
of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an
estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days
per year in Britain.”
For many, their job is their primary source of stress
The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to
the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related
stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers
across all types of employment sectors.” One survey revealed
that there are “about 41 million [European Union] workers
affected by work-related stress each year.”
What about Asia? A report issued by a conference held in Tokyo
concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries
in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The
report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including
China, Korea and Taiwan, have rapidly industrialized and
economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns
on job stress and its adverse effects on worker health.”
However, you do not need a research study to tell you that
people are under stress. More than likely, stress is exacting
its toll on you too! What harmful effect can stress have upon
you and your loved ones? How can families learn to cope? The

Examples of FINE SPIRITUAL FOOD AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME FROM
"THE SLAVE":
"We need not here repeat the evidences that the 'seventh trump'
began its
sounding in A.D. 1840, and will continue until the end of the
time of
trouble" {WT Nov 1880 p1}; "masturbation is no mere innocent
pastime but
rather a practice that can lead to homosexual acts" {WT May 15
1970 p315;
also WT Oct 1 1970 p604}; "If heaven were made the receptacle of
the
heathen, savages, barbarians, the idiotic, simple, insane and
INFANTS, it
would cease to be heaven to a considerable extent, and become a
pandemonium
.. billions of ignorant, imbecile and degraded .. never formed
characters
[not] fit companions for saints" {WT Oct 15 1896 p245} Fine JW
Wisdom!!

THE LIST OF AMAZING JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES' CLAIMS, BELIEFS &
PREDICTIONS
Prepared by MYSELF may be found at the following
websites:-
http://angelfire.com/rant/scumbag/
http://www.freeminds.org/history/part1.htm
http://www1.tip.nl/~t661020/wtcitaten/part1.htm
http://localsonly.wilmington.net/jmalik/TheList.zip
http://watchtower.org
It is FULLY IN ACCORDANCE with the teachings of the WATCHTOWER
Bible &
Tract Society (WTBTS) for every member of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES to
Carefully
Study the LIST mentioned above, which comprises truly fine
scriptural food
from its own publications. Remember the WTBTS told you to
confirm whether
what was taught by the WTBTS was in harmony with the Bible - and
if not,
not to circulate it {WT Mar 1 1894 repr p1629}, to confirm WT
teachings
against the Bible {WT May 1 1934 p131}, to invite critical
examination of
your faith {WT Aug 15 1950 p263}, that, far from being wrong, it
is your
duty to examine religion to see if it is true or false {WT Nov
15 1963
p688}, that you should actively examine your own religion {The
Truth That
Leads To Eternal Life 1968 p13, a WTBTS publication}, that you
should check
and examine BOTH sides of a matter {Awake! Oct 22 1973 p6}, that
your
religion was in no way afraid of being exposed to scrutiny {WT
Aug 1 1978
p12}, that you should to be willing to submit everything to
scrutiny
{Awake! Aug 22 1984 p22/28}, that you should not have a closed
mind {WT Nov
22 1984 p3-4}, that you should actively refer to the older
publications {WT
Jun 15 1985 p12}, that all people are encouraged to examine
other religions
and with an open mind {WT Apr 1 1991 p17} and that you are
encouraged to
exhibit freedom of thought {Awake! Jun 8 1994 p21}. So, please
follow this
advice of the WTBTS, and study that LIST very carefully. "You
will know the
Truth and the Truth will set you free."(John 8:32). Fine advice
indeed!
THE LIST IS PRODUCED IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO A RECENT REQUEST BY
THE WTBTS in
{WT Dec 1 1990 p19}, where it quotes {WT Dec 15 1914 p377-8}:
"If any one
knows anything better, let him take it. If any of you ever find
anything
better, we hope you will tell us." Kindly, Prominent Bethelite
has duly
obliged. Having read it, if you find the WTBTS has ever told
falsehoods,
follow the WTBTS advice clearly given in {WT Dec 1 1991 p7} "A
religion
that teaches lies cannot be true."; if you find the WTBTS has
even made one
false prophecy, follow the WTBTS advice clearly given in {WT Feb
1 1992 p3}
"Beware of False Prophets!" - and cut yourself off from these
Foul Cheats.
