There was a situation in my family a while back that shows the irony of elders telling OTHERS to continuously fight before, during, and after court ordered blood. The baby was born needing blood to survive. The doctor immediately obtained the order, transfused the child and all went well. The couple put up NO resistance except to explain their views BEFORE the blood transfusion. No arguments were made during or afterward.
The iriony is this: this babys father is an ELDER who told me seceretly that he was VERY glad the court took the decision out of their hands. He was thrilled that his child had the lifesaving treatment and they were guilt - free! Win, win.
Am I the only one who smells hypocracy???
