  Quote from Coroner "I accept that this doctrine has been an entrenched principle of the Jehovah Witness religion since 1945 despite considerable debate.

  "Nevertheless, Mrs Allen's death most graphically illustrates the consequence of the rigid adherence to that doctrine and brings me to recommend, perhaps forlornly, that the Jehovah Witness Governing Body and its elders give consideration to a relaxation of its doctrine"

  Now there's one judge that doesn't buy the only following his bible trained conscience bullshit

  It's sad and despicable that anybody dies through a rejection of a regular medical procedure. My condolances to any body that has to suffer the grief over the loss of a loved one.

  I can't help thinking, though, a decent diet (am I being heartless?) in this case may well have prevented both surgery and subsequent refusal of a transfusion.

  I always said (even thirty years ago) "the truth only made me fat, not free". Why didn't I listen to myself years ago?

  I still be believe in separation of church and state... But when a religious corporation endangers the lives of thousands of ignorant people who put their trust in continuously changing doctrine, the state really needs to step in at some point and start holding the church leaders accountable.

  Jonestown was about to be raided just before everyone drank the koolaid (and that was a one-time event in the People's Church)... On the other hand, JWs of all ages have been drinking the Koolaid continuously for many decades resulting in thousands of avoidable deaths while the state remains on the sidelines as silent observers (under the watchful eye of the ACLU and other organizations)... it's a sick world we live in...

  The Workers Are Few

  Matthew 9 - 35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
