License Plates
by richard indoing a search on jws and jurisdiction, i found this jewel:.
"new hampshire statutes require that noncommercial motor vehicles bear license plates embossed with the state motto, "live free or die," and make it a misdemeanor to obscure the motto.
appellees, maynard and his wife, who are followers of the jehovah's witnesses faith, view the motto as repugnant to their moral, religious, and political beliefs, and accordingly they covered up the motto on the license plates of their jointly owned family automobiles.

VACCINATIONS AND THE WTBTS
by Corvin inin the earlier days of the wtbts, they played hell with the medical profession and vehemently discouraged jw's or "bible students", if you will, from getting vaccinated.
yes, they said it was a cruel hoax on people by satan.
they said it was of black magic and blah blah blah .

Interesting that Extreme Calvinists in Holland didn't believe in vaccination,either
Some of them still don't. But for quite another reason than the former WTS ruling. They consider vaccination interference with God's plan: if God wants you to be sick or die, H(h)e has good reasons to do so. You are not supposed to meddle in H(h)is plans. Besides, Mark 16:18 and James 5:13-15 indicate that only God has the power to heal. For the same reason, some of these people do not have any form of insurance such as fire insurance. I recently heard a story of a guy who refused to wear safety belts while driving his car ...

While doing a medical literature search on JWs and blood transfusion, I came across the following remarkable letter in a 1999-edition of "The Lancet".
A rare and bloodless
situation.
Sir, I recently came across an
interesting and rare situation while
working overseas for the medical aid
organisation Médecins Sans Frontières.
One day, just before anaesthetising an
otherwise healthy young woman for a
laparotomy, I was told by one of the
other surgeons that my surgeon was a
Jehovah s Witness, who would not
allow blood to be given to his patients.
I was stunned by this restriction.
The extent of surgery was not clear
from the onset. Routine haemoglobin
estimations were not done in this
hospital before surgery and blood was
difficult to obtain. I was not unduly
worried, but the warning could not be
ignored. Since I was the only
anaesthetist in the hospital and I was a
guest in the country, I decided to
postpone surgery to discuss the
situation with the senior surgeon. The
problem was well known to his
colleagues but efforts to come to a
solution seemed to have failed in the
past. I then discussed the situation
further with my surgeon.
His argument consisted mainly that
the patient and her family were
aware of the fact that he was a
Jehovah s Witness and that she had
agreed not to be given blood. He said
that as the consultant surgeon he
decided that she would not be given
blood. I countered that as the
consultant anaesthetist I would give
blood whenever I felt it necessary
without reference to the surgeon. He
smiled at me and said that he respected
my point of view, and added that in
that case he would have to leave theatre
for the duration of the blood
transfusion. This amused me greatly. I
decided not to delay any further and I
anaesthetised the patient without
difficulty and the operation proceeded
without blood loss.

Do teenage JW's have a higher suicide rate?
by thomas3004 ini read online that teenage jw's have a suicide rate four times higher than the national average.
i was curious if anybody could refer me to actual statistics that could either confirm or deny that.
i have a friend who was struggling with suicidal thoughts a few months ago and now her new boyfriend is trying to convert her to be a jw.

Thomas, what is this internet source that says the suicide rate is 4 times higher? As far as I know, there are no reliable statistics.
