  Patient dies as JW paramedic refuses to administer blood product -- thanks, Religious Freedom Act!

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  (i realize this topic may have already been addressed so i apologize in advance.).

  no, that's not a real headline but i suppose it could be one here in arkansas -- one of several states in the us that has a religious freedom law on their books.. as i understand it, if i, as a jw paramedic, am ordered to deliver a blood product to my patient, i can refuse to do so based on my religious freedom.

  as a logical consequence, a patient could die.. would paramedic be an occupation be that one of jehovah's witnesses simply cannot accept, knowing fully well that you would be in a likely position to administer blood..

  I remember a Wt article that addresed the matter of involvment in the job setting. For example if a JW was a customer Service person, behind a counter that had many items to sell and tobacco/lottery tickets were only a percentage of the sale., Then they could perform their duties according to a concience. If the Milk man had to make deliveries on his route that had a Drug Lord, and the other addresses were legit, then it's ok. A medical provider could reason that they are assisting in many ways, and the blood Transfusion is another product/service in the functions of the job.

  Definitely, a JW wouldn't work in a Abortion Clinic.

  does anyone remember those 2 songs and that movie specifically being mentioned in the watchtower?

  they were"bad" and should be avoided.

  it had to be in the late 70's or early80's.

  Wow, I'm surely a bad dude. I watched and listened to all of those music/shows.

  So did my friends from Bethel. But, I still refused to go along with those Benjamites who decided to abuse that concubine in the Bible book of Judges.

  I see this as reinforcement of the DF Rule. This Brochure will be another disappointment for those that have close relatives that are DF'd.

  their purpose includes a little sub-article entitled when a sister must conduct.

  the direct link is: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/kingdom-ministry/ click the little document download button under the one labeled km15 03-e us and then choose a format (pdf looks best)..

  OMG...This is quite the post. I don't know whether to laugh or to feel bad for the poor women that subject themselves to this crazy ritual. This is such primitive thinking.

  How do you give the appearance that you are not conducting, when you are conducting? I guess it's like the days when you were in school and chewing gum. We all chewed gum, but did so in a secretive way. Perhaps the sisters should turn the lights off in the room when the Service Group is being conducted. That way they can hear the voices but not see who apparently is in the room, or who is conducting.

  I can see another court challenge coming from the Marvin Gaye family. These songs look like they have been copied

  we just had the visit of the br, winston payne from down under australia.

  he was a good old mate, and he commended the brits accent over the australian.

  no mention of the metero sexual suits, bright colored socks, spandex, no association with df relatives.

  Yes, I'm not for putting speakers on a pedestal here in this post. I'm just mentioning what a difference it was to hear a different softer message of a Zone meeting than was heard in the USA.
