My husband and I do not share the same name. I was going through some legal issues when we were married. It is confussing sometimes...hmmmm....maybe after 4 1/2 years it should be changed

I know several ladies who did not take their husband's last name, but none of them are JWs. It just seems so 'out of character' for the JWs. The attitude of the JWs were always like: "If a sister doesn't take her husband's last name, next thing you know, she'll be wearing pants to the KH and thinking for herself!"

It just made me wonder.

I thought about that too....funny thing, when I got married I had already left the KH, and wanted to keep my maiden name, but even though the hubby didn't object, I could tell his feelings would have been hurt...so I changed it.

I don't regret it...thank god his last name is not hard to spell are wierd sounding.

The parents didnt attend the hearing, I bet they are thinking in the back of their heads....thank god!

The little know fact that JWs loose these cases all the time and their children get blood all the time. Some states has speacial expediated medical hearings and rubber stamp these orders insanely fast. Before you can contest the kids is a ward of the state. It is a mind game for dumb JWs to believe JW children don't get blood.

Perhaps secretly the parents know this but go through the motions anyway knowing that the state will rescue the child. At least they can say to their murderous elders, "well, we did what was asked but the state took over and forced the blood". With that they don't have to fear disfellowshipping as it was out of their control.

Thank God the wts is sufficiently uncaring to develop a hospital system of their own - can you imagine.

And yes, in this area also, the childeren are simply made wards of the state if need be.

Horrifyingly, nurses, doctors, attorneys, concerned parents etc, see others taught by the Watchtower Society over Jehovah's Witnesses but do not know why blood transfusions are biblically supported so as to reason with them: Acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 Samuel 14:32-5 says Saul's army ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving them. Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread and that God wants Mercy Not Sacrifice. (Mt 12) The Watchtower's May 22, 1994 magazine Awake tells of 26 of the Jehovah's Witness children who died without transfusions, and by common sense in massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives http://www.ajwrb.org. About 3 Jehovah's Witnesses die daily earthwide from the unscriptural policy! (Blood On The Altar by David Reed) Yet most normal identical twins transfuse whole blood to each other through a shared placenta and childrens' whole blood is sometimes found in mothers years after birth-- clearly the approved arrangement by God using nature. The book of Acts is about not using blood or strangled meat for temple sacrifices, so not in regard to transfusions. Please share copies of this with others to help save more lives.
