Governments should require the implementation of a "Child Protection Policy" by all tax exempt organizations. The plan should meet minimum required standards as set by the government and be readily available for inspection by all.

We cannot abstain from blood. Our bodies need it and they keep producing it. If bodies fail, a transfusion would be acceptable.
by quincemyles ingod prohibited the eating of blood.
in genesis, leviticus and deuteronomy the edict is clear: "do not eat blood !
" when the apostles said "abstain from blood," jewish christians must have contextually understood that to mean "do not eat blood.

What makes people kill others over religion? The same thing that makes JW's let children die over blood doctrine.
by Wasanelder Once inmy inactive relative, (female) asked in exasperation, "what makes people kill others over religion?
" i responded, "the same thing that makes jw's let children die over the blood doctrine.
religious ignorance and fervor causing the death of others without any compunction?

In all of these situations there is a claim of authority. Once you accept that claim, they have you and they know it. To disagree with them is to disagree with God. -

Thanks for sharing. It certainly seems that Leukemia and childbirth claim the majority of JW lives. -

If you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it. Send as many details as you can recall. We will post the story on our website at AJWRB via the "Blood map".
If possible include, names, dates, cause of death, disease/injury, age, city/state/country, congregation, photos and any other relevant information you have. Help us show the real cost of this policy and force the WTS hand to get rid of it. There is a contact page at the bottom of the map.

JWs have more good points than bad
by lsw1961 in1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

I don't have time to read all of this. I would simply say that if Jehovah's Witnesses did not have some good things going for them, they wouldn't be around. I had some very good JW friends when I was still active. I knew a lot of very good people who were JW, and they have some very good teachings.
There are, however, two sides to every coin. If we are being honest, we have to acknowledge that the religion has some very problematic policies in place that have caused great harm to both individuals and families. If you could put an end to Watchtower abuses, they would be a reasonably good fundamentalist Christian community. Until that happens, however, they are are not a safe place to have your family. There are much, much better places to be imo.
