  Royal Commission and blood transfusion refusal for children?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder if the royal commission has examined the practice of jws being led to refuse blood transfusion for children when medically necessary to save life or preserve health in relation to the question of child abuse.

  i've not heard anything about this brought up.

  is the rc concerned solely with life altering abuse only in the form of sexual molestation, or is it looking at how the organization deals with all life altering forms of abuse jw children are exposed to the result of watchtower teaching and society?

  Good question. I thought this was solely on the child abuse issue, but, it would be great if I was wrong!

  l just had a discussion with my uber Dub father about the RC in Australia

  just jotting this down while it's fresh in my mind.. joe= apparently they have got issues over in australia at the moment with sex abuse, and this time the government got involved.. dad=yeah they mentioned this at the assembly last weekend.

  apparently so they said all religions and organisations are been investigated.

  joe= kind of seems funny how the only 2 religious groups been interviewed so far are the catholics and jws.

  Litebright - very true. I'm inactive, we all know what would happen if I brought a Christmas tree in the house or posted birthday pictures on FaceBook.

  I'm not disfellowshipped and yet my brother won't let me attend his baby shower. I guess this is an example of me not getting shunned. Must be all in my head...

  I get where you want to be compassionate, however; compassion goes right out the window for me when I think about all the CHILDREN being abused right now and not getting the help they need because of him and his cronies.
