I pity you all who believe this story and and hence abuse Jehovah witnesses for something you know nothing about.

I am a Jehovah witness and I can say that if this happens, there are more than 1000 doctors in Nigeria that can treat that woman without blood.

You believe stories cooked up by lazy bloggers and start running your mouth like fools.

If one don’t die for what they believe in I wonder what else is there to die for

See contradiction!
Brainwashed brother, what will doctors use in the place of blood?

To the best of my knowledge, it is now standard practice for many general hospitals to demand for blood, donated by the donor at a stipulated date before EDD or paid for as soon as the woman starts the Labour process, no doctor, nurse or midwife will deliver the pregnant woman if there's no evidence of standby blood to be used in case of emergency. I guess those your 1000 doctors are from the private hospitals and are willing to risk someone's life.

D story is entirely false.
1. Jehovah's witnesses don't take blood transfusion.
2. But they have specialist trained doctors that has the experience to provide adequate health treatments without the usage of blood.
3. Rather than taken blood transfusion, professional doctors have been given alternate drugs dat can reproduce high volume of blood within a short period of time.
4. Jehovah's witnesses ve high value for lives and they don't engage in anything that can jeopardize one's life.
5. Jehovah's witnesses has several HMO accross the gbole, within each countries and state. They are always on ground in case like this at any location, all u need to do is to contact them and they will respond to ur immediate needs without any charges even to the point of seeking professional treatment outside the country if the case is out of local doctor .
6. If someone wife has been on labour for the period of 3days, and yet nothing meaningful was done. Then the questions is: Are they truly a Jehovah's witnesses? Do they notified their congregation elders as regard there health case.
Note: it's not all those who claims to be a Jehovah's witnesses, that are truly a witnesses.
Such one might be an interested fellow, who just started attending Jehovah's witnesses meetings but even if that is the case, he should have made his situation known, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But i still doubt this story.

Thank you bro, you nailed it.

A Nigerian man has narrated how a Jehovah's Witness refused blood transfusion for his pregnant wife and watched her die in the hospital.



According to Ajayi Afolabi, he gave the man a slap for the act. Read the story below...

"So, I was at a General Hospital in Lagos while an heavily pregnant woman was rushed in on child labour. She was immediately taken to the theater and after some mins, one ofthe lead doctors came out to request for the husband ofthe pregnant lady.
DOC: Your wife is short of blood. She needs an immediate blood transfusion.

Husband: Same thing they said from the hospital she has been in the last 3 days of labour. We are Jehovah witness, we don't accept unknown blood.

DOC: This is highly important to save your wife's life and the unborn baby.

Husband: We have worked for the lord with all our strength, he can't fail us, she can't die.

DOC: I may need to proceed forcefully if you don't accept.
Husband: Then be ready to face the law in court.

So the doctor went back to the theater, asked the woman if she has another relative close by who can sign to receive blood while she was wheeled out of the theater. The woman cried with her pale eyes and begged the husband to allow the doctors transfuse but he refused bluntly. I was so angry and I walked up to him. Tried convincing but he was so adamant and stubborn.

Some mins later, the doctors asked him to take his wife to LUTH, for better health care facilities that could condole non blood transfusion. He was requested to get an ambulance for transportation. To my surprise, this nigga got a Volvo stretcher ambulance meant for dead people. Gosh, so angry at this point.
Called a couple of people around and I aided a quick release of a proper life saving ambulance. While wheeling this woman to the ambulance after wasting about 4hours, she gave up in tears and was later confirmed that the unborn baby also died.

Wow! What a wicked world in the name of a borrowed religion. Then the husband bursted into tears. I didn't do much, I moved close, looked straight into his eyes, slapped and gave him a couple kicks which later threw the whole general hospital into chaos.

I later reminisced over it the following day and asked myself this questions; why would I allow my loved one die in the name of a religion? Should the religion save lives or kill?
"

In 2008, I lost a colleague to similar circumstance, she was involved in a car crash and needed blood transfusion in the course of treatment, the family vehemently refused on account of being Jehovah's Witnesses till she died.

My only grouse is with the Nigerian healthcare system; you don't need anyone's permission to do what you have to do to save a life! You took an oath to not allow factors like money, bureaucracy, dissenting opinions of non-medical professionals, etc derail you from your primary duty of preserving life.

There are several cases on this blood transfusion madness. The doctors should have gone ahead with it by recording her oral agreement to allow blood transfusion.

Who are you asking these questions? You can go to the hospital to do your investigation if you're not satisfied.

Take a look at this statement from the story. Does a full grown up woman need permission from her husband to accept blood transfusion?


So the doctor went back to the theater, asked the woman if she has another relative close by who can sign to receive blood while she was wheeled out of the theater. The woman cried with her pale eyes and begged the husband to allow the doctors transfuse but he refused bluntly. I was so angry and I walked up to him.

stephen109:
I WON'T JUDGE THIS MAN ON THIS..I PREFER TO LEAVE THIS STORY TO GOD....JUDGE NO MAN!!!!

GET THIS FAST! It may help you or some poor confused soul in need of good counsel from you in the future!!

1. God has no hand in people misleading themselves and others with false religion!

2. The sources of the various doctrinal interpretations (leading to the large numbers of constantly in-fighting denominations all claiming ownership of the same Christ) has been found to be flawed in many cases. The honest ones own up to their followers.

You find them loosening the godlessly confounded chains they've put on their fellow believers and let them leave in the freedom God ordained for them jejely e.g. Pastor Kumuyi has left his own members to engage responsible use of the Television as against the Church's outright ban on it before. The Church's compulsory arrangements of relationships through the Church Marriage Committee Policy has been relaxed and many more positive upgrades. Like him or hate him, that is responsible god-fearing leadership. Pray you get politicians with half that conscience and Nigeria shuld become a paradise on earth!

Some other leaders and religious movements are not that honest, kind or simply responsible enough to own up to their members or take their ministries along the path of truthful change. They will rather people die hopelessly as adherents of obsolete belief systems! It is movements like this that you find promoting beliefs that border on senselessness, criminality and psychological enslavement of their followers.

3. If the dead woman was your relative or benefactor, I'm sure you would pause and ask if things could've be done better. The man literally held her life in his hands and threw it to the dogs against sound medical practice and even his wife's pleas to be allowed to live.

4. Ask yourself, if they did err on the part of saving her life, which kind of a god would they have been serving who would not weigh his ownership of them, their faithfulness, service etc and give them a 2nd Chance? Peter denied Christ but lived on to be a principal apostle because of the forgiving nature and loving heart of Jesus Christ! Are Jehovah's witnesses no longer part Jesus Christ's believers'?

There is clearly a disparity between Who Christ was, What He taught and promoted and what this misguided wretched lot are up to tongue. Mehn, I WILL JUDGE. AND WITH A GOOD LAWYER SEF EVEN IF I DON'T GET HIM NAILED, I'D CERTAINLY RAISE ENOUGH DUST TO EMBARRASS ALL DEM BLOCKHEADS AND S.O.B's following that crap sect.

5. Listen, the establishment of the Council for the Affairs of Religions and Cults in the Soviet Union (later the Council for Religious Affairs) led to the closing down of 49,000 churches and the execution of over 200,000 ministers by the Cheka, NKVD and KGB in Russia(http://www.christianaction.org.za/index.php/articles/god-and-government/867-freedom-of-religion-at-risk-in-south-africa). Do you Christians want that in Nigeria?
You should know Christianity appears to under some much attack and people've gotta wise up and stop leaving loose end your haters can work with!
It's because of Bullshit like this South Africa CRL Commission and co. started monitoring Church activities, doctrines and teachings, and of course Christians didn't like it there too. But, this kind of nonsense is what promotes the need for such Legislation!

6. If you think my fears are unfounded, wait till this kinds of cases start piling up and Doctors keep citing their powerlessness to do the right thing becos they're constantly being issued litigation threats by misguided spouses on religious grounds. Next thing, Senate will have to find a solution to your problem of not seeing issues for what they are and speaking out in the Name of the same God they're killing for! And trust a lot of Naija christians, ever docile, reactionary, divided, uninformed, seemingly only equipped to wail on social media and nothing more!

7. As for "not judging", as most gullible people have been gagged with unbalanced use of bible quotes from dishonesty leaders and "fantastically-ignorant" followers, here is the shocker:

1Co_5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do ye not judge them that are within?
1Co_6:2 Do ye not know that the saints will judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co_6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?
1Co_6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1Co_6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren?
1Co_10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
. WAKE UP, don't let them deceive you, especially the "TOUCH-NOT" crowd who hide behind misquotations to trap weak-minded folk!

Thank God, my home Access Control won't even allow you come up to my porch and start making a fool of yourself but it I ever meet one of them, that'd sure be a day to remember. The man must've been in a hurry to lose that woman fast. Maybe, he's got another woman outside because I don't understand why he would just let her die like that. Most Africans don't know what they're doing with their lives especially when it comes to religion.

He coulda done it better and people should speak up. Seems #NigerianLivesDon'tMatter much these days sef!

Yes, your grouse should be with the doctors for knowing an alternative but refused to use it because they are lazy.
Let me educate you: The closest alternative is called 'blood substitute' which works as an intermediate vehicle for oxygen conveyance until the individual's blood production facility (the marrow) can heal up and return to full production capacity.
For non life threatening cases, this can work, but in life threatening cases, you don't have that time, you need BLOOD!
So, stop coming here to say everyone is stupid just to justify your warped religious beliefs.
