Well this article implies that there was a think tank and it was decided by all parties the best option would be to have a court order for the transfusion. I don't think it has ever been implied that this is an option. It's only a last ditch effort by courts you can't fight. My Mom read it and said, "What the sister said, was true....they did all they could in obedience to the command to abstain from blood.".

I think Leolaia or Narkosis can explain this the best. A lot of where Paul differs with the theology of Christ in the Gospels is from later works such as Timothy and Titus which could have been influenced by those trying to stamp out gnostic influences. Leolaia had a great article written on Women in the NT and Paul's view.

Haha well I should probably clarify as an example of someone who did something with good intentions but was still punished.

The article is actually well worth the read, even if I were a non JW I would appreciate the article and not lean either way on the issue.

Yea I knew that this was used German but I had never really seen where they kind of actively sought to have a persons force the blood issue. How must the parents of those quintuplets feel for going through all that trouble when all they had to do was work on a secret meeting to agree to let the hospital force the issue? I guess that is what is so surprising.

Actually I was just joking around. I wanted to post before lunch so thus why I pretty much just left it open. It originally was just pointing to the article then I read the article and realized how important it could be, so I just had time to edit the original thread subject. Will copy and paste what you were nice enough to copy and paste lili.

I'm sure it's been posted but I don't feel like searching.
Llovelylil did the work to copy and paste where the article points out the loop hole which is:
The hearing took hours. The judge listened patiently to everyone's testimony and suggested a solution. The Azevedos could honor their beliefs and refuse to sign the consent. However, Craven herself would "authorize" - she was very careful, she said, to avoid the term "order," even though Jose and Maria had no choice - the surgery, and her name would appear on a separate authorization form. The Witness liaison supported this compromise, assuring the Azevedos that "if the judge orders it, then you are not going against the church teaching."
On August 20, Jacob was wheeled to an operating room at Children's, where Bacha's team opened the child's chest, cooled his body to 72 degrees, and connected him to the bypass machine, primed with donated blood. Jacob's heart lay still for a few hours as the surgeons performed the delicate switch of the great arteries. Repaired, the heart sprang to life when rewarmed and his chest was sewn closed. Hopefully, no one would lay eyes on the heart ever again.
Weeks later, Jacob, who has honey-colored hair and an easy smile, was feeding and growing like a healthy infant. I asked Maria what she thought might happen to Jacob's soul. "My conscience is clear," she said. She felt that the doctors, not the child or the parents, would have to answer for the transfusion. "It wasn't Jacob's decision," she said. "We took our stand and never compromised. Jehovah knows that I did not compromise my faith. What [the doctors] decided to do, that's between them and God. We don't judge them." Jose agreed: "God will have to analyze the situation. I cannot speak for him, but I know that God is a merciful God, and he does forgive."
Tacitly, the Watch Tower Society seems to endorse this end run around the transfusion ban for children. Its statement on blood products includes the following: "On occasion . . . medical personnel have sought court backing to give blood. Of course, Christians agree with laws or court action to prevent child abuse or neglect." Pellechia, the spokesman, says, "Under pressure, if a person caved in and made a decision that others would not have made, I believe there would be an understanding [and] empathy shown."
