296: Trinity Attackers refuted! (Watchtower's: Should You Believe ...
... Acts 2:38; 16:33. But in fact, it was the custom of the day for civil leaders to delay their baptisms till the end of their lives. Yes it was wrong, but so is the current practice for JW's delaying their baptisms for a year! Yet notice what Henry Chadwick said in the same book as the Watchtower quotes next: "He was not baptized ... Many centuries before the time of Christ, there were triads, or trinities, of gods in ancient Babylonia and Assyria. The French "Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology" notes one such triad in that Mesopotamian area: "The universe was divided into three regions each of which became the domain of a god. Anu's share was the sky. The ... But it gets worse for Jehovah's Witnesses, look at what the very next sentence says: "In this way the spiritual force of Egyptian religion shows a direct link with Christian theology. In order to avoid any gross misunderstanding, we must at once emphasize that the substance of the Christian Trinity is of course Biblical: Father, ... ...

Another area of Anxiety or of the preternatural excess of Sensation is the nervous disorder directly contrary to it, viz. Insensibility, that is a prxternatural defect or total loss of Sensation. Whether this entire change from one extreme to the other is owing to the material instruments of Sensation having been strained by ... To which remarks arising as just conclusions from reasoning upon the unavoidable action of vomits and rougher purges, I shall beg leave to add some cautions, which experience has suggested as necessary to be communicated to the young practitioner, even when such active medicines are proper. viz. 1. If the season of the year is in ... ...

298: Should Christians "Fast" Today?
History indicates that man in all ages and among all nations has engaged in fasting. It has been used for many purposes including ceremonials, mourning, or as an aid to building self-control and as a method for gaining spiritual strength. The late Mahatma Gandi gained world attention through his extensive fasting. It has been used by both groups and individuals and is widely practiced today. Many groups have found "hunger strikes" more powerful than violence in obtaining their purposes. Recently a group of teenagers did without food for 24 hours in order to gain understanding of the hungry populations of the world, The money they saved on their food was then sent to rescue missions in India. Many Christians today have experienced the blessings that can come only to one who has dedicated a season to fasting and prayer to Jehovah. 2. Biblical examples of fasting indicate that it was only once commanded as a regular ritual, on the day of Atonement (Lev. 23:27) but it was practiced by ... ...

300: On the Pathology and Treatment of Hysteria, Robert Brudenell ...
He also mentions: epileptic type fits, vomiting, drooping eyelids, muteness. For this reason, he would oppose the chemical psychiatrists today who always prescribe drugs that never cure: "Against ... hysteria ... I should regard all medicines to be absolutely useless and inert." It is clear that Carter viewed hysteria as a blatant and deliberate deception where a person acts like they are insane or sick in order to gain sympathy, attention or be excused from life's responsibilities and be catered to. In the case of Sarah W. he noted, "the convulsive movements continued for upwards of two hours without the smallest abatement; and then, becoming gradually less violent, were at last succeeded by a state of perfect catalepsy, which lasted nearly an hour, and yielded in its turn to sleep" Carter viewed both men and women as hysterics, but noted: "greater proclivity of the female sex to hysteria, and also for the absolute rarity of its occurrence in man".
