    Yes, having the RH negative factor in your blood. When I got pregnant I had been in a slow fade for about a year, so still had some influences on me. I found I had the RH factor which usually is not a problem for the first child, but could be in later births, so it is routine to give the mother a RhoGAM injection immediately after giving birth. Not having this could lead to blood related problems for the baby in later births. I found out that RhoGAM is a sterilized solution made from human blood and therefore was forbidden by the Witnesses. Well, since by then I knew what I had been raised in for 25 years was a load of hooey, I had the shot without broadcasting it to my family. (I was remarried to a nonwitness so it really wasn't an issue to us.) The RH negative factor is rare but not uncommon, so I am sure other Witness women have had to deal with this. The only personal experience I knew of was some 50 years ago in our congregation when a woman gave birth to her 3rd child and this was an issue. They wanted to replace the baby's blood with a transfusion which was of course refused. Fortunately the child survived, but had many expensive medical issues that could have been prevented. (She has since grown up, had babies of her own, and last I heard was no longer a Witness!)

    And, BTW, to maisha, yes, there are numerous whackos in the congregations when it comes to health care and trying to impose their ideas on others. And the elders telling you that you can't do something to stumble someone else, even if you and your conscience have no problem with it. I was "in" from 1961 till 1984 and saw this all the time.

    Dear Rebel18, The longer I live the more I am convinced there is something in the water in the usa. I am amazed and distressed that some of the 'beliefs' that people come out with only seem to belong there.

    I have NEVER heard of any of the mental regulating faecal matter you speak of in Australia and this is a very multi racial country with Bros n sisters from many lands here.

    You have my sympathies. Let commonsense be your guide give 'elders' the flick.

    maisha,

    Wow, how rude of you to call me a liar.

    Back at ya. You're a liar.

    I really wonder sometimes when reading some of these posts WHY you dream up such stuff. Think about your motive to make such a bizarre claim that you even knew the same people I knew growing up, or that you have even the wildest idea what they did or said.

    cheers.

    Those phobias would not qualify, Brother JWB. Have you been reading apostate material?

    Another SHIT! disease that forces you to FUCKHEAD! violate Jehovah's commands is Tourette's syndrome

    There once was an anointed sister who developed a type of dementia with some Tourette's syndrome mixed in during the last stages of her earthly course of life. She would interrupt the meetings with "Damn!" or "Shit!". But it was all good, 'cause she was a wine sipper...

    Would ADHD count? A new study has concluded that fully 1 out of 4 ADHD patients are faking the symptoms to get the drugs.

    The drugs used for it are basically amphetamines - dexadrine being a favorite.
