blood transfusions versus death

JimmyPage

I heard an experience in a talk about a sick child in a Witness family.

The doctor at the hospital was convinced the child needed a blood transfusion. The "worldly" uncle of the child tried to convince his Witness brother to allow it, saying he would take full responsibility for it himself.

The Witness family drove the child several miles to another hospital. The doctor there said they should let the child rest overnight and see how he was in the morning.

Turned out the child was fine. The "worldly" uncle was so impressed by his brother's stand that not only did he become a Witness himself but so did thirty more of their relatives.

What was wrong with the child was never explained. Why a doctor would let an apparent emergency go until morning was quite disturbing.

Certainly there are countless more experiences out there that did not have happy endings, where children died and no one was impressed by the stand of this cult.

The whole talk was just disgusting and shameful.

Hello Jimmy Page, big fan of ur music btw.

Disgusting and shameful are very accurate words to describe such a misleading talk. I'd be surprised if that story were actually true and not just hear-say the elder was regurgitating. even if this did happen, for that one "success" story, there are probably umteen deaths, as you've already pointed out.

It is apalling that otherwise sane people (although that is debatable as well <grin>) put their children up for sacrificial roullete, if you will. If the child dies, he couragously died for Jehovah; if he survives, praise be to Jehovah for watching over him. One way or the other they justify it. It is one of the most sickening and inhumane practices.
