Christmas and birthdays...
by Celia inthis thought came to me this morning, as i was lying in bed, trying to figure out which end is up.... the jws dont celebrate christmas, the birth of christ their savior.... because in earlier times, the same date was used to celebrate the return of the sun, the winter solstice.... (by the way, celebrating the return of the sun makes a lot of sense... no sun - no life..... we know the sun is there, we know what it does, no such thing about a god...) .
but i regress.. so, because on this date, pagans used to celebrate the sun, the jws dont want to celebrate christs birth..... its a little bit like not wanting to celebrate the birthday of a loved one, because he/she was born on the same day as a bad guy in history, like hitler, or napoleon, or slobodan milosevic, or saddam hussein, or osama bin laden... etc.... hmmm... my thinking is flawed, because, of course, the jws dont celebrate birthdays either.... question : did they first decide that christmas was evil or birthday celebrating was ?.
edited because the emoticon does not work.... :) :?

Blood, HLC, question
by Celia injacques luc of belgium has a question for anyone who knows about the no-blood policy.
when a jw enters a hospital for any treatment or surgery, he/she of course tells the staff that as a jw he/she can't accept any blood transfusion.
now jacques has heard from good authority, that in european countries, the hospital liaison committee now gives the doctor or surgeon in charge of the jw patient a document from the watch tower society, that says that if their conscience dictates them to use blood to treat the jw patient, the watch tower society would not sue them, nor would the patient....
