This is Lupy Lu again. I love the remarks and the assumption that I or a family member is a JW. What I am is a student of human nature. I've been an investigator for years. I'm also a very positive person. I have opinions of many things, but I just don't think slamming issues down is the answer. I look into how I can make a difference to a positive. For example, I know smoking is bad... I hate it! But why should I go and disparage the cigarette companies when instead I can look into how I can help people quit smoking; and help the young kids to not start smoking. Eventually, there will be no business for these companies to continue operating. It’s business. But what will we gain trying to close down these companies in protest when we ignore the important human need?
I guess it's who we are, how we've been raised, our culture, gained positive knowledge (and the thirst for it) and all that stuff that makes up our way of thinking. In regards to my father, he has worked in the medical field for years and knows too much about the blood handling and testing of it. Again, he's retired and no longer knows the local reports on the blood issues. He knows about the alternatives and the research behind the alternatives. He didn’t learn about the JW’s until he started looking into legally requesting that he never be saved w/a blood transfusion.
Anyway, I entered this message board because of the adoption comment. I'm ending this with you now. I saw this 20/20 special on Romanian babies. I'll be taking my energies elsewhere now. Bye!
