According Jehovah Witness, recent were years fraught with disease, civil unrest and environmental concerns that had seen many people searching for physical, emotional and mental well-being, recalling that thousands were turning to an unlikely, free resource for advice.
It said JW.ORG, the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, has easy-to-access Bible-based content that gives practical suggestions for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
“Some people may think that the Bible doesn’t address modern concerns such as our health,” says Jahswill Stephen, Regional spokesman (Lagos) for Jehovah’s witnesses – the global non-profit religious organisation.
“But many will be surprised just how current the Scriptures are on matters of healthy living.”
He stated that although troubling events have many focusing on their overall health, the desire for more energy, mental clarity and emotional balance has been ongoing. He recalled that recognising this, the World Health Organistion has even established the observance of World Health Day on April 7 to draw worldwide attention to a different aspect of global health each year.
“Twenty-two million videos, audio recordings and publications on various subjects, including health, are downloaded daily from jw.org.
“Additionally, each day, more than 2,100,000 visitors use jw.org to find timely information on a wide range of topics such as: Improving Your Health, Health and the Environment, Dealing with Your Emotions, Maintaining Good Mental Health.”
He added that “the website even addresses global health issues with articles such as: The Growing Affliction of Loneliness – What the Bible Says, Protect Yourself from Disease, A Worldwide Mental Health Crisis, Obesity–What Is the Solution?”
