  JW Refuses to Let Husband have Life-saving Transfusion

  jehovahs witness refuses to let husband have life-saving blood transfusionby lucy cockcroft last updated: 6:42 am bst 06/06/2008 the wife of a man who is critically ill in hospital has refused to let doctors give him a life-saving blood transfusion because he is a jehovahs witness.john edwards, 57, suffered severe injuries when a motorist suspected of drink-driving knocked him over and medics have warned he could only have days to live if he does not have the transfusion.. but his wife sheila said he has signed a form banning any blood transfusions in the event of an accident or illness, because their religion forbids it.. it is believed she is rejecting repeated pleas from doctors hoping to change her mind.. the couple's sons, jonathan, 36 and tom, 29, do not share their beliefs and it was unclear last night whether they supported their mother's decision.. a family source said: "sheila is adamant that john must not have blood.

  she says giving him a transfusion would be like assaulting him, and he wouldn't want to live knowing he had disobeyed his god.. "she is in a terrible state, constantly in tears at his bedside, but won't give in to requests from anyone.

  her sons are both with her but her position hasnt budged.".

  The tragedy of all this no blood nonsense is the fact that saying a blood transfusion is evil is like someone saying that the moon is made of green cheese both are utterly ridiculous beliefs.The problem is that the Jdubs will know that the moon is nothing like cheese but because of the smoke and mirrors activity from the Society they believe what the leadership tell them to believe.

  If they thought about it a bit harder they would realise that the JWs blood policy is about as valid as Rutherford saying Beth Sarim will be home to the ancient worthies.Do they not realise that Jesus is more likely to condemn them for not saving a life .

  Wake up all you Jehovah Witnesses out there your leaders are fooling you and it's killing people!

  To you Governing Body members ,off spring of vipers,workers of deception, God is going to be holding you to account and not every one claiming to be the Lords followers are going to win his approval so watch out because you are wrong time after time, after time.When you face the Almighty you can run but you can't hide.So sleep soundly in your beds tonight because there is going to be a reckoning one day.

  words of wisdom at the kingdom hall went something like " don't marry for looks because looks fade.

  " what i want to know is if the person you married turns out to be a crabby old miserable so and so how do you cope with ugly personality plus ugly looks.i mean if you marry a looker at least you have enjoyed some vision of delight, if you get stuck with both you are in a double bind.

  Oompa,

  Women are real spoil sports sometimes! I think there should be a Watchtower special edition on spicing up relationships and could be entitled "Sisters do it for Jehovah." that might do the trick.

  Mouthy you are not in the least bit unatractive looking and I'm sure you are a great life time companion.I think the secret is to maintain a good sense of humour with plenty of give and take.

  They do not need to bother because Jehovah is ging to save planet Earth any time now 'cause it's nearly time for the participants to line up at the figurative place known as Meggido.So everyone stop recycling right now , o.k.are you all listening out there, got the message yet all you unbelievers and post dates? Fill up your back yards with junk Jehovahs garbage men are starting up the trucks and will be coming to a place near you any day now.

  Believe the words from on high that is proclaimed forth from the grovelling bodie's organ the Wacktower , what an astonishing track record they have including Chuck Russell ,wheatabix anyone,? Judge Rutherford ; ancient worthies will have clean sheets on the bed at Beth Sarim, just as soon as they arrive.Fred Fanze and his amazing multi purpose Bible translation, " oh what a tangled web we weave in order to deceive." to good old reliable Nathan Knorr who thought the Whore of Babylon looked like a twentieth century high class hooker, see the book Babylon The Great Has Fallen God's Kingdom Rules.

  Cliff Richard visited a nearby congregation one Sunday while I was there during his initial religious phase. However he kicked the Watchtower into touch when he sensibly saw through the balony , the rest is history as they say.I and another brother went to see him just after he had moved into his new house in the country not far from London during the early sixties, it coincided with an assembly where I was supposed to attend, we were also introduced to his mum at that time.I must say although I am not a particular fan of Cliffs you couldn't wish to meet a nicer person he was a perfect gentleman and is a true christian.This was at the time when the Beatles started to impact big time pushing the Shadows from their number one spot.

  Never made it to the Twickenham stadium I ended up taking two lady friends on a tour around the Tower of London ,happy days!

  when i started driving in 1965, gas cost 29 cents a gallon.

  when you pulled into the gas station guys would come out and wash the car windows, check the oil, and put air in the tires!

  this is in california in the 60s.

  I remember going into record shops and seeing 78's piled up on the counter and asking to listen to some in a sound booth.I bought one once put it on the sofa when the dog jumped up and broke it in three places .I only owned three records at that time so I sellotaped the pieces together and listened while the gramaphone needle kept jumping about.I was about thirteen or fourteen at the time ,soon after that bop bam allua! Elvis ,Little Richard,Buddy Hollie, Bill Hayley,Chuck Berry, Connie Francis etc and Vynyll arrived ,fantastic.

  See you later alligator.

  Can you get the vehicle clamped and a few police officers in there from the illegal aliens department asking for visa and passport ID.

  Can you imagine the police questions like "can you prove who you say you are exactly"?

  Where's Osama Bin hanging out?

  Everything that can be proved to have been created can be taught, no problem. Everything else has to be studied under the title, "We haven't the foggiest it's anyone's guess." That way faith can be put where it is needed , in fact. Everything else is pure speculation, just give us the facts.
