  a young mother has died after giving birth to twins, following claims that she had refused a blood transfusion because of her faith.

  jehovah's witness, emma gough, 22, from telford, shropshire, gave birth on 25 october.

  This is OUTRAGEOUS! What a waste! Now, those precious babies will be motherless and the husband is left a widow. Sad, sad, sad.

  On pg 17 of the WTS How Can Blood Save Your Life? pamphlet, it states: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE. Oh really, Witnesses?.....Obviously not.

  There are people (non-JWs) who choose NOT to undergo certain treatments (chemo therapy, radical surgery, artificial breathing apparatus, blood transfusions, etc.), and that's their choice. But, the difference is they don't have a RELIGION TELLING THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO!!

  The LIE that they are "God's only channel". They will be held accountable someday......

  Unfortunately, householders usually decline talking w/ the Witness and close the door. This is a PERFECT opportunity, though, for the householder to ask those thought-provoking questions to get the Witness to THINK. But, unfortunately most people don't know what questions to ask.

  If more people whom the Witness encounters would do this......just think of the impact this could have.

  we heard our jw daughter-in-law went away for the weekend (19 -21).

  we're assuming it was jw-related.

  our son (her husband) did not go (yea!!!).

  Thanks, MeneMene!

  I'm sure where ever it was she went, it had something to do with the WTS. And SO GLAD our son chose NOT TO GO.

  at the watchtower study sunday a comment was made that "we must stop focusing our efforts and energies.

  on this old dying system and focus our energies on life in paradise so near at hand.

  were many nodding heads in full agreement with this tid bit of insanity.

  Hi TB TS,

  Isn't it so SAD how gullible they are? They just swallow whatever is taught to them hook, line & sinker.

  As Rev. Wilbur Lingle (book: Approaching Jehovah's Witnesses in Love) said, " As I think of the word “truth”, I think of something that has been proven and therefore can never change". But, SO MANY of the WTS's teachings have changed. How can they say "I'm in the Truth"......and really believe it deep down in their hearts??

  I pray, too, that your family sees the REAL TRUTH someday......as well as my son (who's being duped into this cult).
