A head of family lynched for refusal of gift(donation) of blood to its daughter
By Payne
The young people of the street Manzengele in the Municipality of Ngaba made, at the week beginning, a negative idea of the Church of the Jehovah's Witnesses. So that it will still be necessary of time so that this religious sphere of influence retravaille the image, in Ngaba's streets, the Municipality called revolutionary. Everything, indeed, left of the death, at the week beginning of an a little less than 15 year old girl, and whose relatives(parents) belong to the religious tendency of American origin known evoked. It occurs us that the health of the poor became more and more disturbing and the regular doctor had recommended blood transfusion. For the man of science, it was the way of exit which seemed to him(her) to agree best. And nevertheless it was without counting with the appreciation of the relatives(parents) of the patient to whom returns, quite naturally, the last word. The father of the child opposed to the plan of the doctor, in the name of the creeds. The bearer of the white blouse having learnt the religious membership of the relatives(parents) of the patient, did not find the opportunity to try to return them to the reason. Especially since the Association of the Jehovah's Witnesses opposes formally to blood transfusion. Practice which it observes as a malpractice of God's law. The relatives(parents) did not nevertheless use(wear out) creativity to propose compensatory tracks to the treatment. There was so a break. This one produced inevitably the effects, the patient is crossed(spent) by life with demise. The short story(piece of news) of the disappearance irritated the members of family "Témoins" and provoked an excitement notably among the young people of the street Manzengele. Towards(as for) the close relations of family of the relatives(parents) of the deceased, someone raised a complaint to the most close spokesman.
They presented to it as culprit of the death of the girl, the one that had used(worn out) the right of paternity. Our source brings back(reports) that to have refused the gift(donation) of blood to its daughter, the father was subjected at very degrading one quarter of an hour before the policemen come to master situation. The young people of the district made justice, but their reaction will have been only some water thrown(cast) on the feathers of the duck. Because, the devoted Jehovah's Witnesses use(wear out) verses pulled(fired) by the Bible to justify their opposition with certain practices of the modern medicine.
