  If a JW is a nurse or doctor or other medical worker can they participate in a medical procedure that involves a blood transfusion or a blood draw?

  Teens killed in wreck studied to be nurses

  December 30, 2007
  
  
  Mourners arrived not only in black dress clothes, but also in purple scrubs, a tribute to two young brothers who dreamed of becoming nurses.
  
  
  More than 150 family members and friends gathered at the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, west of West Palm Beach, to pay their respects to Travis Cooke, 14, and his brother, Cruz Benjamin, 17, who lived west of Lantana. The two were killed in a car wreck on Dec. 20, in Boynton Beach, on their way to South Tech Academy, where they were enrolled in a medical program.
  
  
  Students in the program wear purple scrubs, and about 40 classmates attended the service in uniform.
  
  
  "He died in his scrubs, and the family didn't want to see everyone in black," said classmate Bernadine Valeus, 17, of Boynton Beach.
  
  
  The church was decorated with flowers, pictures and written memories.
  
  
  Classmate Tia Gosnell, 16, wore a shirt with pictures of the two brothers and the message: "They say memories are golden. Well, maybe that's true. But we never wanted memories. We only wanted you."
  
  
  Jehovah's Witness leaders said the two brothers had a strong relationship with the church and with God. Last summer, they spent about 70 hours going door-to-door talking to people about the church.
  
  
  "These young men were serious Bible students," said David Smith, a Jehovah's Witness minister and family friend.
  
  
  Howard Jordan, who leads the West Palm Beach congregation, told those attending that the brothers' relationship with God can serve as an example to others.
  
  
  "We want to use this opportunity to say to ourselves, 'What am I doing to build that type of name with God?'" he said. "If we can use this occasion to improve the name or relationship we have with God, then Cruz and Travis will rejoice even more."
  
  
  Veronica Alfonso, a neighbor, said she usually gave Benjamin and Cooke a ride to the bus stop. But she was out of town the day the accident happened. So the two got a ride with a classmate from the school, whom police haven't identified.
  
  
  The accident happened as the 1997 Geo Prizm the students were in turned left from Congress Avenue onto Southwest 30th Avenue and into the path of another car.
  
  
  "I feel guilty not being there. It could have made a difference," Alfonso said. "I know now I'm going to hug my kids more and tell them I love them every chance I get."

  BRIDGEPORT — Rebuffed twice by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Jehovah's Witnesses have sued the city to build two connected meeting halls on a Huntington Turnpike lot.

  The suit was filed in early December by lawyer Timothy Hollister, of Shipman & Goodwin in Hartford, according to Jeff Gordon, a volunteer for a regional Jehovah's Witnesses building committee.

  The lawyer was unavailable for comment. Greg Conte, an associate city attorney who handles zoning issues, who was also unavailable.

  But Patricia Fardy, the P&Z chairwoman, stood by the board's reasons for denying the Kingdom Hall proposal at 257-269 Huntington Turnpike.

  "I'm familiar with the area and the sight line is in question" for the property and passing traffic, she said.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses' traffic studies underestimated the speed at which traffic travels through the area, she said, adding that the project was denied of concern for the "safety of parishioners and the public."

  "Exiting and entering that driveway would have been very, very hazardous," she said.

  The commission unanimously rejected the application in September, citing traffic concerns as a primary reason. Two City Council members at the time pointed out that the site is a few blocks from so-called "Dead Man's Curve," an 0.8-mile-long stretch bordering on Beardsley Park named for numerous serious motor vehicle accidents that have occurred.

  But a revised application, presented at November's P&Z meeting, proposed the elimination of walls and trees to improve the sight lines for an unobstructed 1,000 feet.

  The vote then was 4-3 in favor of the plan, but it was a rejection by default because the proposal failed to win a two-thirds majority, or five of the seven P&Z members.

  Jehovah's Witness congregations that would have met in the proposed Kingdom Halls worship in Spanish, French and American Sign Language. They now meet in Monroe and Orange. There's also a Kingdom Hall on West Avenue near State Street.

  Gordon said despite the rejections, the Jehovah's Witnesses still plan to buy the second of two homes on the property. They own the first one.

  When I was a teenager I attended a pentecostal type church and I thought I knew the mysteries of Revelation. They turned out to be all wrong, so I don't think I know what Revelation and Daniel mean any more. ;-)
