True? Or false?

Gary thanks so much for the info you post. Intersting and informative to say the least.Clearly JW"S do refuse medical treatment. when bleeding profusely and refuse the only treatment to save their life -BLOOD.- Jws aruge that a person is only choosing to be treated with chesse and crackers as an alternative treatment rather than with blood. The problem is that according to MD's sometimes alternative treatmenst wont save you and ONLY blood will do the trick, and so it becomes debatable whether choice of treatment means refusing treatment.

They play by different legal rules in Russia. Russia now faced with the beginning of the jww MOVEMENT there, It is how it was in the USA when the JWS began and such like issues had to be decided by the Courts back then. I think that jws will evetuallly win in Russia.

Id' say in the 1940's Met Life sued the WT and sought a legal injunctions based on the information that the WT was publishing, and also based on the way it was dissemination that info through individual "envoys", that it was disturbing people in their home's (I'm just roughly saying what the case was about without pulling out my Mckineys) The WTS won, dont remmeber if it was on appela or if the Supreme upheld the WTS when met appealed but the Court ruled that the disseminating of info no matter how shoking or disturbing it was is legal, howver as long as in doing so it did not violate peoples right to privacy in their home (or somethinhg like that)

But in the USA, the WTS has won more cases in Supreme than any other person or entity in the history of the USA. I have been ifoermed that the WTS legal Dept is the best on earth and the fight and win in the highest courts on earthIt is also reumored thet the legal dept runs the wts. But to simply answer your question. Jws do refuse medical treatment in my opinion and this results in death .

Whoever that guy is, he's a master of WTBTS red-herring and straw-man tactics. Good grief!

Refusing medical treatment s camouflaged with ALTERNATIVE medical treatment. The problem with that argument is that one cannot treat a ruptured apendix with cheese and crakers per orum if the patient refuses surgery which is the only treatment that willsave his live.

: The second point. Coercion to destroy the family. Again, I will not speak about the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses, or about the Bible, because in fact the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses contains so many exhortations to love one's relatives and to build strong family ties.

It's interesting to note that this lawyer person will "not speak" about the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses, and then does just that: says that the Jehovah's Witness literature talks so much about love.

It's also interesting that this person will "not speak" about the Bible, since the Bible and the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses have virtually nothing in common.

For the first time i signed a consent for blood. I had a procedure done and it could have been needed if something went amiss. I did not hesitate. But i am not going to the bloodless center. I am choosing other hospitals. I have no idea what i would do if the HLC hunted me down. Lie would be my first choice.

Hi Dead, Welcome! Thanks for posting. More than a few people I know think the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation's book they call the Bible is just another piece of their religious literature because of the way they have treated the historical texts.

I am not aware of one Jew or one Christian that likes what Tower Publishing has done to their sacred texts.

I thought the legal document above was a weasel worded piece of misrepresentation of the facts. The Witness that wrote it could not have one honest bone in his body, in my opinion. GaryB
