I taped it and I'm just watching it, patient has to have spleen removed....no mention yet that jws, just that their religion does not allow blood transfusions. Also she refuses durgs which is not a jw thing. Evidently they did not tell the doctor ahead of time or present a medical directive. She is losing 40% of her blood. Husband is waffling on the transufsion knowing she is dying. Husband signs consent for surgery/transfusion...she lives.

Eh, I never have liked the way they do this on TeeVee. They never get the details right. The the Dubs who watch it (if they do) sneer and laugh at "how wrong they got it", and it reinforces their determination. I would like to see one where they show it EXACTLY as it would happen, and have it end in tragedy, with a child suffering in pain for hours before he finally expired, with the committee elders "encouraging" (threatening) the parents with the dire consequences of allowing blood. Make it hit closer to home for people. It's one thing to show adults making dumb decisions about themselves, it's another to show how it would affect the life of an innocent.

I was thinking that they were vague for legal purposes. I'm sure though that there are jws that accept transfusions as long as no one in the organization finds out. The model presented at the KH and in the organization is what matters is what humans know, not God. God has left the land and he is not seeing.

If you would like to watch a WTBTS promo video on YouTube from 2009, watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6mmZPZ3-Mg . Maybe the North Korean government should hire the WTBTS's writing department to produce a promotional video for its people.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
