  another jehovah's witness woman has died while giving birth due to massive blood loss and refusing a blood transfusion.

  she leaves nine children behind.

  she finally consented to the transfusion but it was too late to save her.

  Why was this woman 41 and having a 9th child anyways!!

  Because she is a poor woman in a fundamentalist religion living in a third world country.

  Another very important facet of this sad story is the fact that she was DFd for taking blood before and it took community leaders intervening before the Org would reinstate her.

  Just want to add, the "they" I mentioned above means the Governing Body. Sorry for the lack of clarity in my post.

  I would be willing to bet that NONE of the GB would let this happen to their family member.

  As the religion begins to grow in third world countries, their scandals and poorly administered doctrines are going to really become news.

  They dont have all the access to bloodless products that are available in first world countries.

  Wonder if they've thought that one over?

  Ths story is even worse than it appears at first glance.

  She was DFd a few years ago for taking a blood transfusion after childbirth. It took her town officials intervening for the JWs to reinstate her.

  This time she was determined, along with her mother, NOT to take blood. As she neared death she relented and agreed but it was too late for the blood to work.

  So she has been put through the trauma of being DFd for this very thing and was facing it all over again and tried hard to avoid DFing but got scared and relented and now died with that strike against her (being unfaithful).

  She lost on every level.

  Her children - all nine of them - lost on every level.

  The Confederate Flag

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

  he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

  not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

  is it legal to fly a flag with a swastika in Canada or America?

  Interesting that if the PENNSYLVANIA WBTS is no longer in existence, the assets transfer to the Governing Body!

  So much for them not having anything but spiritual power?

  I just went over and looked at that thread.

  For the most part they are all saying rumor...no one believes it.

  There is one guy there (from the UK) that is so balanced and clear thinking that he will probably end up here one day.
