Where do we start with this one? And with the idiot elders sticking their stupid noses in this?
The parents want to be heroes to the world and their friends, so they "leaked" their religion. Obviously, the local congregation knows who they are. It's hard to have all those babies without anyone knowing.
"So what if they're JW's?" asked the dumb elder. That's the whole point. The JW's have MADE it the point for decades. It's NOT a medical issue with them, it IS a religious one. They run for their Bibles and quote their rights to "practice their religion" and THEN they add that blood might have AIDS or other diseases. But it's primarily a religious decision and they know it. If they were Catholic (and yes, they just HAVE to poke fun at the Catholics, it's never anyone else) it wouldn't be an issue because Catholics aren't lunatics and hypocrites when it comes to blood. They don't forbid it and they don't flip-flop every other month about it. There is no reason for anyone to call the Vatican if a Catholic had that many babies since there is no policy against blood, so there is no news. The WT knows damn well why this is in the news.
"Do they mention the person's religion if they were in a car crash?" No, because other religions don't make a production about every detail of a member's life. Someday there'll be an article on which hand is proper to use to wipe your nose. He keeps saying it's not a religious issue. IT'S NOTHING BUT.
"Non-blood treatment is superior in every situation"? I don't think so, moron. Who told you that you were a doctor?? Stick to lying, it's what you do best. "The gold standard"? What have you been smoking?? If blood was such poison, then why is it an issue in every hospital? "Many doctors"? How many? Two?? Are they JW doctors?? People die all the time if they are not given blood when they needed it. Why do you think it goes to a judge so often for?
Hecklerboy, good point. If an adult wants to die, fine. But you don't have the right to kill your children. What if that child grows up and leaves the WT? How can he if he dies as an infant? How do you know what that child will do when it is 18?? A parent may have the right to die for his religion, but he doesn't have the right to have his child die for his religion. "You can die for your children if you want to, but you have no right to have them die for you."
I smell a huge Convention part in a few years. And a WT article will come out either way. If the children live, look how dumb it is to disobey the Bible (READ WT). If the children die, they died faithful. Faithful to what? They don't even know the issues.
Why is he surprised the family gave their religion? They ask you when you are admitted and put it on your wristband.
As for having so many kids, what can the WT say? At least Canada's figures won't go down so fast. "Little jingles on TV"? Oh, you watch TV? Why aren't you out in service? I thought TV was from Satan? Oooohhh, you said a bad word "jingles". (Jingle bells.) Quick, go say a Hail Mary and make sure to use your rosary.
You consider life precious? Then why do you gloat that six BILLION people are going to die soon? Yes, YOUR CHILDREN'S lives count, you are right. But no one else's. Such compassion. You jackass. You love YOUR children dearly. I loved mine too, but you took her away with your shunning policy. Someday I'll take something away from you.
You'd like to give the family support? What kind? Like hang around the hospital threatening the staff that if they even think about blood, you'll sue? I hope they take your blood, the hard way. In fact, it would be poetic justice. The babies need blood, you donate it.
