JW saved by Bovine Blood Product

by cantleave in

not sure if this has be posted before, i apologise if it has... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1383586/cows-blood-saves-life-crash-victim-world-procedure.html.

doctors have saved the life of a woman car crash victim with the first ever use of cows blood.. tamara coakley, 33, rejected a life-saving conventional blood transfusion because of her jehovahs witness faith despite being close to death.. but in a worlds first procedure, a synthetic blood substitute made from cow plasma was used to revive the patient just as her heart was failing through severe blood loss.. the success of the procedure could help combat the worldwide blood supply shortage.. mrs coakleys religion permits the use of blood substitutes and doctors in melbourne, australia, flew in ten unites of the haemoglobin- based experimental plasma called hboc-2-1 from the united states where it is being developed by the military.. the cows blood product was painstakingly administered over two days to mrs coakley, who had been in a medically-induced coma following a horrific car collision last october.. after a few close calls, including a bout of pneumonia, the patients haemoglobin levels more than doubled.. mrs coakley was overwhelmed by the lengths doctors went to save her life and respect her personal choices.. more...ultimate health cocktail: scientists devise blend of 13 fruit juices so good for you it could lower heart disease risk .

im glad something positive could come out of it.

Bovine blood, huh? I thought even animal blood must be "poured upon the ground." In addition to refusing human blood for transfusion, animal blood must not be eaten. It too must be removed and properly disposed. How do they justify this case when the product was made with bovine plasma (one of the WBTS 4 main forbidden components of blood)?

The fact that bone marrow (where blood is actually made) transplants are a conscience matter for JWs proves that the GB has little to no understanding of basic biology and medical science.

The fact that every blood sacrifice in the Bible was an atonement (including Jesus's), meaning the animal from which the blood was spilled died, also shows the glaring error of JW interpretation on this doctrine. The people who donate blood or chose to preserve and store their own do not die. Therefore, no atonement sacrifice was made, assigning no sacred nature to the blood used in transfusions.

Shunning

by mtwtf in

wts shunning my venting #3. on my rough estimate there may be 50 wts victims of enforced shunning for every one wts child abuse victim.

(it is recognized that greater trauma is inflicted on abuse victims.

) with such a large pool of shunned dubs, a number must have suffered such bad experiences as to warrant conti-like cases against the wts.

I could see it happen in Europe, but never in the USA. Unfortunately, churches are totally unfettered in their quest to abuse, manipulate, terrorize, rame, molest, lie and destroy lives.

cedars is taking a break from jwn, but he's still posting youtube videos.

i hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.

if he already did....sorry dude!

Spot on, Christ Alone! That's the first mental picture I had when I met him for the first time. "He's DOE! You know... that Heaven's Gate guy!"

Jimmy Swaggart. Peter Popoff. Oral Roberts. ...those are the "christendom" nutjobs I was trained by our own literature and my family to ridicule and identify as false! When I met Steve a few years ago, I thought to myself, "Oh. My. GOD. ...he's no different than the funny guys my sister and I used to laugh at on the UHF Jesus channels!"

No different! We're the same as they are! This guy was the JUMPSTART to my awakening--no joke. I'm dead serious. He's the reason. Spirit-appointed my ass. This guy is "mentally diseased," not us.

How did he ever survive the TMS? Remember when they'd give "Gs" or "Ws" back in the day? Did any school overseer ever call him out on looking like a complete LOON? How did the GB select him, anyway? I know he was a CO at one point, but god DAMN. If I were on the GB and looking for potential guys to "tap" for membership, I'da been the first one to say, "Wait. Hold up. We have a certain image to maintain, do we not? This guy's bizarre behavior on the platform will make people think they're in some kind of nutty CULT."

When I hear the term "cult" to describe JWs, his face is always the picture that pops into my head. Could you imagine if Ronmey or Obama behaved like him in a presidential debate? It would kill his chances at ever being considered. How can anyone in the audience at a CA or DC take this man seriously? I've seen a few of his talks in different states across the USA and my friends always start laughing and say something to the effect if, "What's WITH THIS GUY???"

this is an account of my own experience of being disfellowshipped.

i'm sure it will be familiar to many of you.. ghostworld of the excommunicated.

here's fun, though: please feel free to sign the ghost-wall at the end of the story..

I just read your story. I am always curious to ask people for details on how they got discovered. How did your internet postings eventually get the attention of the elders? Were you posting anonymously or did you forget to close a window on your PC?
