Earlier last year a Congolese woman who was a Jehovah's Witness and received a blood transfusion contrary to her religious beliefs said she believed an alternative remedy of coca-cola and tomatoes should have been given to her when she refused the transfusion.
Regardless of the medical considerations, Jehovah's Witnesses advocate that doctors should uphold the right of a patient to choose what treatments they accept or reject.
Ya----maybe the Governing Body members should do the same thing: Respect the Right of a Witness to choose what treatments they accept without fear of excommunication. Bit of a double standard they've got here I'd say. Not that that comes as any surprise.
This religious position is due to a belief that blood is sacred and represents life in God's eyes.
Yes it represents life----represents it! It's not the same as LIFE ITSELF!! How many more decades is it going to take before these idiots finally get it???
