The living know they will die, but because if fear of death many have become slaves to God dishonoring practice.
As Witnesses, blood transfusion is and will remain an abstinence.
The Bible clearly indicates from Genesis to accounts of Acts why we must not eat blood and so not have it transfused into our veins.
She died in obedience to Bibilical commands because upon our dedication and baptism, we vowed to live the remainder of our lives for God. She's therefore sure of a resurrection, a remembrance from God, who will call her and she will raise.
Death is not end to life and dying is no sin.

No insult meant!
You are one of those who killed this lady. Open your Bible from Genesis Chapter 1 to Revelation Chapter 22 and show me where it is written that, blood should not be transfused. I can show you where blood was referred to as LIFE to every living being (including animals). Apply same to this lady. She refused to accept LIFE (blood), becos Charles Tarsel Russell (and his cohorts), manufactured a lie which has killed MILLIONS, becos they refused to accept LIFE TRANSFUSION.

Yes, he asked question on each paragraph, unless you refused to see it. He asked if god is the commander in chief, why all the problem, he asked if he stay home instead of goin 2 church and the church burn, is it god that safe him I am paraphrasing. Reread it slowly open your mind to different thought.
I have to fitstly congratulate you for being able to dissect that post. The post was all over the place. Not articulated at all. To me, if a man chooses to question God, then he should direct those questions to God or seek the answers within himself. I don't care what he thinks or feels about God. Doesn't change the existence of the Almighty. But c'mon! If you are going to curse God, be civilized about it.

It's her life.
She either had to chose to live or die.
Her preference was death. Death for the shackles of spurious and mind-twisting religious beliefs.

Whatever rocks her boat.

Some individuals sign DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) form and state clearly that in events of certain medical emergency such as Cardiac arrest, coma et cetera that the medical team MUST NOT attempt any resuscitation. These decisions are Dignified ' and respected by the medical team and patient's legal representative and do not cause any outcry by medical personnels, media or a third party.
so if an individual decide to accept all forms of resuscitation apart from the use of allogeneic blood, such person's decision should also be respected by care givers, the media or a thirty party. It is a Personal decision and should not cause any form of noise or outcry from any body.

Thumbs up!

Enjoyment1:


You may be right about bloodless surgeries that were successful. But JW can never be right about what Bible says about blood transfusion. There is no where in the Bible where it was categorically stated that, "NO TO BLOOD TRANSFUSION"
Rather, what the Bible says about blood is simple...."do not eat any animal with its blood, for the blood is the life of that animal". Here, Bible is very clear on this fact.

It simply means, you cant eat animals that died on their own, or caught with a trap, becos the blood wasnt shed.

Another meaning from that passage, is that, BLOOD is LIFE, and LIFE is BLOOD. That means, should anyone need (life) which is blood, should he or she be denied?

Annoying as their interpretation may be, their own interpretation was concocted by Charles Russell, and a team of scholars, who studied the Bible in an unfamiliar manner. It was becos of this, his wife divorced him. The guy and his team later graduated and called themselves JW. Since it was hard to convince many with the current Bible to join them. They now published their own Bible in 1961, called "The New World Translation of The Jehovah's Witness".

Another bad example of how they misinterpreted the Bible. Just becos Ahab's daughter requested for the head of John the Baptist on her birthday and it was granted her, they simply BANNED birthday celebrations, and tagged it EVIL. My question to them is, before beheading of John the Baptist, was birthay celebration EVIL? Becos some Pastors' wives acted in bad fate with their husband, does that means, ALL Pastors should not marry?

Was there anywhere the bible says 'No to Smoking'? U still looking for things in black and white. And about the birthday issue, it was Herodias' daughter that asked for John the Baptist's head and not Ahab's daughter. Jesus Christ spent 33 and a half years on earth and it was not reported that he celebrated his birthday EVEN ONCE. And dnt compare ur pastors to Jehovah's witnesses cos Jehovah's Witnesses are all Brothers and Sisters, there is no office of 'PASTOR'

When boko haram where bombing churches in the north, God sat like a mumu and watched innocents young and old die. Is the church not supposed to be the safest place one can be if that dummy God truly cares

Take for instance on a sunday morning someone summoned me to go to church and I refused. I insisted I have a girl coming over and I refused to go to church because I want to fvck. 30mins later the church was bombed and everyone died including the person that summoned me. Will I have to thank God for making me stay at home fornicating instead of go to church and die

If the bastard God truly cares about we humans why does he watch our pain and misery? Is he not the commander in chief of the whole universe

The wicked dummy God make me loose all I had 200k. It shall never be well with God. I hate God and I wish I can end his existence if I had the chance

About a week and some days ago, an American woman was permitted by the law court to end her life because she does not want to continue to suffer from to her illness and she was "MERCIFULLY" killed by her doctors. This sinful act did not create any upheaval neither did it receive condemnations but was viewed as a personal decision. Why then should people hypocritically condemn another person's decision which is based on firm conviction and faith?
Acts 15:29 states that Christians should abstain from fornication, from blood, from things sacrificed to idols, from things strangled BUT some people just decide that fornication, idolatry are wrong but not abstinence from blood.

In summary, its her choice to go before her time. Its our duty to enlightened others against the dangers of such actions. Those that have ears, let them hear.

READ THE BIBLE by yourself. Please never let another read the Bible and come to tell you what he/she read, and the meanings. Thats what is killing many. IGNORANCE!

Bias news at its finest! Please remove this malicious news piece from this forum or at least change the title.

Did you notice the bolded section of your report. How did refusing blood transfusion kill her a whole month after. Can someone with shortage of blood during surgery survive for a month? Don't you realise she may have died from other thing?

Why not right report about JW who have refused blood transfusions and STILL survived or better yet about people who took blood transfusions and still die.

Do you think blood transfusions save lives 100%. Do you think blood transfusions is the BEST/ New technological way to achieve successful surgery?





@bolded section, JW did not say, God through the bible said so. We simply obey no matter what why others choose what they obey. (If God told them to sacrifice their child, they would tell him no! They lack the kind of faith Abramham had)

Controversies and many death? What about the many lifes that decision has saved- both now and in the resurrection. Focus on the positive.



Trying to stay alive? For how long? Is it quaranteed that after disobeying God by taking blood transfusions- the person will survive the surgery.

Is obeying God less important than our short miserable life on this earth?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the post above are just based on ignorance and lack of proper information. I am not surprised because Satan said to God, "whatever a man has he will give to save his soul". In this case, many are ready to sacrifice their Faith, Loyalty, Obedience,and Love for God and commandments for TRYING (NB:no quarantee) to save their soul only to discover that they can't outrun death.
THE GOD OF THE BIBLE SAYS;ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD AND THINGS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS.
DO NOT EAT BLOOD ALONG WITH THE FLESH.
IT IS A CLEAR INSTRUCTION

God is now a book, written by people and which people carry around and consult for any major decision in their life.
some after consulting the book will interpret it that God said they should kill others by bombing them if they do not accept their own book and off they go and bombing commences and people are massacred.

another group interprets that God said in their book that medical treatment is evil and off they go, rejecting all forms of medical treatment with its attendant mortalities.

nobody bothers to really ask God who is still alive today and talks to us everyday, and in his ever present Spirit we live, move and have our being.
