Why is this World Spiritually Blind?

Spiritually Blind ???

Are you serious ? I think spirituality, whatever that may be, "...is in the eye of the beholder."

So, why fight about it?

Court orders Jehovah's Witness boy be given blood transfusion

by purplesofa in

court orders jehovah's witness boy be given blood transfusionsean fewster from:adelaidenow june 04, 2010 7:12pma hospital has won the right to give a child potentially life-saving blood transfusions despite the religious objections of the boy and his family.. in a south australian legal first, the supreme court this afternoon gave the women's and children's hospital the right to give a 10-year-old boy - a member of the jehovah's witness faith - transfusions as part of his cancer treatment.. the decision, in line with similar rulings from around the world, paves the way for hospitals to take action in future debates with religious parents.. the boy is suffering from an aggressive form of cancer that doctors fear will spread throughout his entire body if not treated with an intense 39-week regime of chemotherapy and surgery,adelaide now reported.. .

the speed of that process will not allow his blood cells time to regenerate, meaning he will require transfusions so that the chemotherapy can continue unabated.. in a statement read to the court, the boy said transfusions carried spiritual consequences.. "the doctors have told me i might die and i don't want to - but i don't want blood," he said.. "the blood will change me... when you take blood, you are taking someone else's life.. "i really don't want this and my heart is ripping apart.".

"My son will suffer emotional and spiritual consequences for the rest of his life... he will always, in his own head, be unhappy."

And...they will make sure of that by constantly reminding him what those "evil worldly people" did to him, by saving his life.

"In his statement, the boy said he feared a transfusion would "make the Creator unhappy".

Can't have an "unhappy Creator", ya' know. I will tell you what makes Jehovah "happy" from the point-of-view of His Witnesses:

As soon as my JW mom's heart monitor was turned off...it was doing the familiar...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that happens when people stop living, the JW's gathered around her bed spoke softly: "Ya' know...Jehovah is SO PROUD of her for keeping her faith, all the way to the end. He's SO happy she didn't take that blood, you know...He's looking down right now, smiling at her."

Happy. Smiling.

How much do I hate this faith and others? Let me count the ways.

Why does Satan get to talk to God if they are real enemies?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

in the book of job, satan ( who is already the enemy of god) is talking to god about allowing him to torment job to prove a point on the real reason job and humans serve him.

they have a one on one conversation.. when you really think about it,why would god talk or even listen to satan if they are true enemies?.

being a witness for over 35 years,the wts made me fear satan and his demons.

Rabbit

Hmmmm...Satan talks Eve into the Big Fruit Caper, then, Satan talks God into letting him bugger Job.

Are God, Adam & Eve all weakminded, compared to that silver-tongued devil - Satan?

update on why the Elders have been so busy trying to contact me

by troubled mind in

jw
friends

they have stopped by our house multiple times (we have been gone or just ignored their knocks) multiple phone messages requesting it is urgent that i call them back .

(screened all calls lately ).

today the phone rings and i tell my husband screw it i am answering and putting an end to this .. the elder on the other line is not the one that has been stopping by ,but rather my husbands ex-nephew through marriage .

Rabbit

Why not ask them...what makes those particular videos anti-witness? And, why are they watching them, too?

Yeah, like the CIA being called, "The Company". The Party, The Organization, The Chairman, etc. there is an implied mystery, darkness and un-spoken hint of secrets and power.

And...it works.

I think the End was in 1975.

I stopped reg. pioneering in '76 -- I felt more than a little used and disappointed. I knew "I" didn't "...move ahead of the org ..." I knew 1975 was where The Organization pointed us. But, my cult fever still held on until I watched my JW mom slowly die (no transfusion) 25 years later. My fever finally broke and I left...

My sweet never-been-a-dub wife says, "Whenever you say, The Organization, it's weird, but, it makes me think about The Mafia...?"

I say, Weeeellll...ya' know...
