Why is it ok for witnesses to go to Church backed hospitals?

If witnesses should "get out of Babylon the Great" then why is it ok to go into hospitals that have been set up, and have funding from Churches?

Isnt that a little contradictory or hypocritical?

I actually wondered that many times. But I had a really good orthopedist at the Methodist hospital so I didn't fight it.

My mom ended up in a Lutheran assisted living facility, put there by my brother a COBE. It was a wonderful place for her with the nicest people. When I saw the sign for the first time I said loudly, "Thank you Lutherans!"

Crickets I tell you.

Yet they disfellowship those who join the YMCA.

I have noticed the witnesses feel o qualms at taking when they need. taking church charity based clothing, food, money, attending a church run hospital when it is a good one. The double life way of thinking is incredulous, and so dam* hypocritical.

When my daughter was born in 1971 our Dr. was a JW. He was somewhat borderline JW but that was ok because he was a Dr. He was a very good Dr. and a very good person and I wonder how much of the bs he actually believed. I had some very good off topic conversations with him. Anyway......he was associated with St. Joseph's Hospital in Pittsburgh and that is where my daughter was born. There were a few "easily offended and stumbled" a..holes in the cong. that had questions about the hospital but the powers that be stood firm that there was no problem.
