  Letter to expert child psycologist re. minors refusing medical treatment

  by kwintestal in

  2. medical

  my name is sean polden and i live in halifax, nova scotia.

  i was recently discussing an issue with someone, and as she had previously attended one of your lectures, she suggested that i contact you to see if you would possibly have some information that i require.

  i am seeking legislative change regarding the allowance of "mature minor" status for children who wish to refuse live-saving or live-extending medical treatment on the basis of religious choice.

  I wanted to use these comparisons ,after all it was the Jews who did write the old testament.
  

  
  
  I can recall reading from a Jewish man, that eating blood and blood transfusion are totally different.

  >A blood transfusion is said by some not eating blood but if a person is not
  
  >able to eat physical food how do they feed him? Intravenously.

  I've come upon this late due to Passover and the recent death of my
  
  late mother, may she rest in peace, so I apologize to those who have
  
  attempted correspondence with me and have not received a reply. But
  
  this topic I feel I must reply to because of the severity of the
  
  problem.
  
  
  
  
  
  accept at face value and how important blood this is to the JW's then
  
  that leaves three other points that bother me deeply.
  
  
  
  
  
  chewing, digesting, the full process right through the digestive
  
  tract. Jews say a blessing before eating to express their gratitude to
  
  the Al-mighty for having provided them with food and given them the
  
  ENJOYMENT of eating. Yes, there is pleasure in eating food and G-d is
  
  to be blessed for that. There is no blessing said over medicine or
  
  food not permitted to be eaten (in the case of the Jew this means
  
  non-kosher food such as pig, crayfish or snails). Since we Jews wrote
  
  the Bible, we know what it means.
  
  
  
  
  
  primarily because it does not enter the digestive tract. The fact that
  
  bodily nourishment may enter the blood stream the same way, could in
  
  no way be considered eating as the digestive process is bypassed, and,
  
  in the case of blood, it could hardly be regarded as enjoyment. Blood
  
  is probably better regarded as a medicine in this case as it has no
  
  role to play other than controlling/removing illness or directly
  
  sustaining life; like a drug or an injection for, say, influenza.
  
  
  
  
  
  strict vegans? It is impossible to remove blood 100% from flesh. Even
  
  we Jews do not do that. Merely removing blood by salting or grilling
  
  the meat is acceptable to us. Letting it drain from the flesh is not;
  
  I mean, let's be practical here as Jewish law require us to be. The
  
  sacrifices eaten by the priests in the days of the
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  Just something I wanted to add about Organ Transplants
  

  
  
  Years ago this was a no-no; it was likened to cannibalism etc... People wouldn't take them... Died, children lost their lives and we know many people were DF if they went against the WTS.
  

  
  
  THEN-
  

  
  
  New Light! It’s a conscience matter and transplants are O.K
  

  
  
  What about all those innocent people who died over something that was not truth? Very blood guilty!
  

  
  
  What about the people who were kicked out and shunned by family?

  http://www.wfial.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=artJws.article_2
  

  
  
  http://www.ajwrb.org/
  

  
  
  Now the blood policy is changing, even many still frown upon taking blood but it is changing and many people are dieing and died over something that wasn’t truth.
  

  
  
  Confuses me and angers me, why people can’t see something is wrong with “truth” that changes continually over the yrs. God does not change his truth with the times, only man does!
  

  
  
  This cult has killed many innocent people, it has to stop.

  THEY MURDERED MY DAUGHTER - WILL YOU HELP ?????

  by SHUNNED FATHER in

  2. friends

  two leading oncologists both agree that my daughter bethany might be alive today if she had not been fed arsenic.

  as you may recall, the wts arranged to take my sick daughter into hiding for two months and payed a doctor to prescribe arsenic.

  the doctor ant the wts lawyers convinced bethany that the arsenic treatment could cure her.

  I hate to break it to you, but if you did study other religions you'd QUICKLY realize that JWs DON'T have it closer than most religions. They are actually very far away. But that's the rub: when you exit dubland, the last thing you want to do is study religion. This group is nothing like Christ's teachings here on earth. Nothing. Study the bible. Borrow books from the library. Read whatever you can get your hands on. You'll realize there is not a perfect or true religion out there, but you will realize the JWs are pretty far off the mark.

  I agree 100%,you took the words outta my mouth!
