Earlier Wednesday in Mount Vernon, Skagit County Superior Court Judge John Meyer denied a motion by the state to force the boy to have a blood transfusion. The judge said the eighth-grader understood the decision he was making.
The judge apparently doesn't understand squat about cults, mind control or anything else that would have been useful in this case. What disgusts me, is that the courts have become so worried about being "politically correct" that they'd rather see a 14 year old die, rather than infringe upon the WTS's "freedom of religion". What if there was a 14 year old boy who wanted to strap some TNT on, and blow himself to kingdom come, because that's what Allah wanted him to do? As long as he didn't take anyone else with him, would any judge rule that he was old enough to know what he was doing and give him the thumbs up?
Hardly. Yet that is exactly what happens every time a judge allows a young Witness the right to refuse a blood transfusion. In essence, they're telling them that it's perfectly okay to commit suicide at the behest of Ba'al The Watchtower Society, yet there's no way they would tell a 14 year old Muslim the same thing.
The Society uses the illustration of Jesus 'breaking' the Sabbath, because he viewed a person's life as being far more important than the legalities of The Law not to do 'any work' on the Sabbath, on pain of death, as being 'the right thing to do.' Obviously, a person's life took precedence over The Law, yet the WTS absolutely refuse to see their hypocrisy on this matter, whereby they put a somewhat vague law above a person's life today. In essense, they are guilty of the exact same thing they condemn the Pharisees for.
And if the law on blood were so damn important, why wasn't it part of the 10 Commandments??
Of all the rotten things the Governing Body has done, watching their members die from lack of blood is probably the most sickening.
