jehovahs witness refuses to let husband have life-saving blood transfusionby lucy cockcroft last updated: 6:42 am bst 06/06/2008 the wife of a man who is critically ill in hospital has refused to let doctors give him a life-saving blood transfusion because he is a jehovahs witness.john edwards, 57, suffered severe injuries when a motorist suspected of drink-driving knocked him over and medics have warned he could only have days to live if he does not have the transfusion.. but his wife sheila said he has signed a form banning any blood transfusions in the event of an accident or illness, because their religion forbids it.. it is believed she is rejecting repeated pleas from doctors hoping to change her mind.. the couple's sons, jonathan, 36 and tom, 29, do not share their beliefs and it was unclear last night whether they supported their mother's decision.. a family source said: "sheila is adamant that john must not have blood.
she says giving him a transfusion would be like assaulting him, and he wouldn't want to live knowing he had disobeyed his god.. "she is in a terrible state, constantly in tears at his bedside, but won't give in to requests from anyone.
her sons are both with her but her position hasnt budged.".
JW Refuses because it is written in scripture not to drink blood. Also contaminated blood is worse off today than when people use to drink it and not through the veins.
Blood substitutes may be better than anothers blood if the substitutes are ever found in great quantities.
In today's Medical Achievements ones blood can be recycled and re-injected into ones body. I say yes to that.
many churches now are beginning to put emphasis on the covenant of the rainbow.
i wonder if they are going to make a play on superstitious people to buy into this as a "sign"?
this is one reason that i am surprised that this video is being allowed to be broadcast.
Nuclear weapons and weapons of destruction taking the place of GOD ALL MIGHTY-"JEHOVAH".
they are one perverted group!
they pervert christianity and everything it stands for.. they pervert whatever is considered "truth" by making up new definitions of whatever word they want.
for example, a "lie" is not necessarily a lie to a jw.
No, but you already have seen the world that they teach. From every nation, color and tongue & religion.
