I feel like there should be legal action taken against JW for allowing people to die instead of taking blood or organs to save their lives… Especially children! If the parent does not accept the organ or blood donated to a child that cannot make their own decisions, they should involve Children’s Services and the court system, the parent should be tried in court. Just like if a parent beats or abuses a child it should be handled in the same manner.

Wow - JW is cult killing children ? How is this possible. This whole organization should be brought to justice. I am sure that is what Jesus would want.

Thank you, AmRee! As a former Witness I couldn’t have put it better myself.

Ben: Well, if you read your bible you would know that there are scriptures that state not take blood. It is printed in plain English. I think that people just try to find an excuse to object what is written in the bible so that they can do what they want. The funny this is, whether you listen to what is written in the bible or not, whether you believe that we are brainwashed or not, you still will answer for what you do. I personally can not wait until that day comes when the wicked are destroyed. Just like in Noah’s day when the wicked laughed and taunted Noah and his family for preaching and building the ark the wicked will also be destroyed. There was nothing anyone could do once the that first rain drop touched the ground because it was too late. I guess that you have labeled yourself as one of those people. God will have no problem removing you or anyone else that doesn’t want to listen from his earth when the time comes.

Brian: It’s sad to hear your brainwashed reply. There are NO scriptures against blood transfusions. I was raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I know how extreme they are, and to what lengths they will go to for their beliefs. The scriptures that command against eating blood are just that - “eating it” It was intended to show respect for life. Not to let people die today, when it is very safe to have a transfusion. In the times those scriptures were written, there was no technology for saving someones life through transfusion. Granted, there is risk in having a transfusion, but in a life or death case, it’s worth it. And I guarantee, God has no problems with it, it’s only the morons who make up stupid rules at the Watchtower Bible and Track Society. They get off on making themselves out to be better than everyone else, getting their followers to believe they have some special channel with God that no one else has. They break up family’s, and cause children to grow up with a twisted unhealthy view of the world. The sooner everyone realizes it, the sooner people can stop dying for blindly following the Witness’s made up rules. Use your common sense, it’s 25% good morals, but 75% extreme B.S.

I love how the national director just flippantly dismissed the claims of someone he doesn’t even know and probably hasn’t even looked into the situation. It’s like that with most JWs. Merely suggest that the society did something that wasn’t completely good and altruistic and they’ll knee-jerk into complete denial before even hearing any of the facts.
