Is that the opinion of the medical team or jaephoenix biased opinion?
Did the ethics (in screenshot (you pretend to uphold) support your opinion?
You proven you don't respect the preferred choice of your patients.
Oga,stop deceiving yourself.
[/b]
I clearly stated in my post that we respect patient rights and we won't give anyone that declines blood transfusion any blood.
I don't know if you are a JW generated bot or a real person. If you are the former,your dev is doing a bad job. If the later, either u r just a poor troll or u can't read basic English (which is a characteristic of JW I see here)

The same people wey want their rights to be protected and respected by Law are WAILING their disrespect for the rights of Aunty E & all JWs as well as people who refuse B.T.

Na wa !!!!!!!
We respect rights in medicine,reason why we won't force you to take blood. If you die from your choice,....its your choice. You chose suicide

Janosky:
Screenshot evidence.
Did the medical team recommended 2 options the lady exercised her right to chose from?
Yes.

Did the medical team make the claim you are making in public?
No.

You are claiming to be a medical professional and at the sametime opposing the fundamental rights of an adult to choose the option of treatment they prefer.

Your public opposition to the ethics of your profession speaks volumes.

Isi aku.
grin grin cheesy
We give the second option in cases of JWs,and it's not better. See,in medicine, we dont force patients. A straight blood transfusion is the better option since it replenishes the blood lost from the cancer and other co-morbidities. The recovery is more dramatic. The second option is epo injections which is given over weeks and works slower. Epo injections work slowly over weeks by stimulating organs to produce blood cells. It's not as effective as direct blood transfusion.Now if she has heart failure due to her anemia,this option isn't the best for her,but we'll still give her this option.The patient may even die from heart failure due to the anemia (which is what I think happened to your sweet Aunty) but there is nothing we can do about it cos it's her choice.
SO THE BEST OPTION WAS TO TAKE THE BLOOD
It's the same option we'll give someone who is bleeding profusely and refuses to take blood. We'll give colloids and epo and hope the patient makes it.
I'm taking my time to explain this scenario not for you(cos I know you JW guys are lost cases) but others who are thinking of joining you guys

Aunty E case was not detected early unlike your mom's.
Linda McCartney, Kelly Preston , Ananda Lewis had similar challenges too (non JWs),but your preferred option of treatment didn't save them.
1. I don't know much about your Aunty E but from what I garner she has stage 2 breast ca. Now with stage 2,there is hope even though it's not as high as stage 1. And the fact that she was offered blood transfusion means she wasn't on palliative,thus the transfusion would increase her chance. You don't transfuse a palliative case,it's pointless. So yes,your Aunty E stood a very good chance of beating the ca.
The other names you listed had late stage cancer and thus almost nil chances of survival.
No matter how you and your ilk twist this narrative, that woman killed herself. She refused help. It may help you by researching how medicine has helped folks with stage 2 breast ca
Christianity EtcRe: Aunty Esther Dies After Cancer Battle & Refusing Blood Transfusion by jaephoenix(m): 6:23am On Jan 02
Janosky:
The interventions wey no save Ananda Lewis & Nollywood celebrities wey get the same disease.
I don't know Ananda Lewis but I checked her out. She died of stage 4 breast ca. Stage 4 breast ca is terminal. No doctor would save you from that AND WE HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO SAVE ANYONE FROM TERMINAL CANCER: THATS WHY ITS CALLED TERMINAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. It means it's spread to target organs,which in this case is the liver. We give palliative management and tell you ahead of time how long you've got. If she came in stage 1 or even 2,cure would be around 90%. My own mom had breast ca. She has done surgery,radio and chemo and she's good now. Same with other folks that present early. That's why we hammer on early detection. So stop capping lubbissh. You don't point to few outliers and decide to commit suicide (which is what your member did)

You people need to educate yourselves.

If she wants to die as you insinuated then why going to the hospital in the first place?

Medically it's unlawful to administer any form of treatment that's not approved by the patient because he or she knows better about his body that any physician!
You're wrong.
We don't give medications or intervene in patients who don't approve because it's against their freedom and human rights. It's not cos they know about their bodies. The physician knows about your body more than you. If a patient declines life saving interventions,it's their business. We explain the consequences,document and tell them to come back if they change their minds

Christians are already serving in difficult and hostile places across the world, often quietly, wisely, and at great personal cost. But the Bible never teaches recklessness as faith.

The authority Jesus spoke of (Luke 10:19) was given in the context of obedience to His sending, not self-assigned missions or internet bravado. Even Paul escaped danger when necessary (Acts 9:25), and Jesus Himself withdrew from hostile crowds when His time had not come (John 7:1).

Saving people is God’s work; Christians are vessels, not superheroes. Faith operates under God’s instruction, not human provocation.

Wish you a fruitful and more prosperous 2026.
What do you mean 'self assigned missions'? Are you saying no Christian has received any calls to go to Afghanistan? Which country is more dangerous for Christians than Afghanistan? So how many missionaries are there? You disturb countries with high Christian populations but ignore those ones with low Christian populations. If that is now cowardice,I don't know what it is. And this is despite all the bravado about gods power and might

Trust in pastors or religion is not the primary reason for our nation's lack of progress.

The major factors for the country's underdevelopment are the widespread lack of access to quality education and endemic poverty.

Europeans did not progress by banning religion. Their approach was to open wide the doors to quality education for all citizens, thereby training their critical thinking skills. The results of that investment are what they enjoy today. Historically, it was often the church, particularly the Catholic church that led the way in educating people and encouraging their contribution to societal development.

We can do the same here. However, our government officials are products of the same society where many have not been taught how to think critically. Consequently, they often do not know what to do beyond using public office for personal gain.

Also, we should be aware that only a small minority engage in the behaviour you described, ignoring medical advice or avoiding legal counsel. If most Nigerians did this, lawyers would go hungry, doctors would lack patients,and hospitals would be deserted.


Many Churches are actively contributing to Nigeria's development in certain critical areas like healthcare and education. They have built and run quality schools open to both their members and the general public. They have also established hospitals,staffed them with qualified doctors,and provided scholarships for students to study fields like medicine and law, directly investing in the nation's human capital.

Therefore, the situation is not quite as you have portrayed it. In fact, these days, only a few believers place complete trust in pastors. Most are wary of them because of past experiences. Some no longer attend church due to encounters with pastors who duped them with fake prophecies. Those who still attend after such an ordeal usually say the pastor is not the reason they go to church, but rather their faith in God.
Let me explain why trust in pastors is part of our demise as a nation.
Accountability is a major force in developed countries,and it checkmates corruption. Of course no country is corruption free but it's relatively less in those countries. The bible says you should ask and it shall be given,whether good governance,new car or good health. Just pray. Same bible also says we should obey those in leadership and pray for them. Notice it didn't say we should castigate or hold them accountable.Religion and it's drivers like pastors take this accountability away from the government and places it on god. That's why we say religion is a manipulative tool by the government, who work hand in hand with the religious leaders. Prime example is some top pastors. They tell you to pray for leaders everyday

No gymnastics here. Christianity is not dare-devilism. The Bible teaches sacrifice and wisdom. Even Jesus avoided danger when His time had not come. Calling is discerned through obedience, counsel, opportunity, and fruit, not by online dares or mockery.
If every believer must prove faith by relocating to hostile nations, then parenting, integrity at work, charity, and everyday righteousness would mean nothing. Service is lived daily, not performed for applause.
So no christian is going to save the heathens in Afghanistan, abi? grin Despite the bible blessings that says he has given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions grin

Sacrifice in Christianity is not a competition of who goes to the most dangerous place. It is about obedience, faithfulness, and wisdom. The Bible says, “It is required of stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). God calls people differently, and serving Him responsibly where you are does not make your faith inferior.
Lol 😆
Christians and verbal gymnastics!
You said Christians are meant yo serve and sacrifice themselves for god. I told you to go on a missionary journey to a muslim predominant country and next thing you tell me is god calls people differently grin

This is a very honest reflection. Serving God sometimes comes with discomfort and sacrifice “endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ” (2 Timothy 2:3).
However, faith must walk hand in hand with wisdom, especially in a country like ours. God’s protection does not cancel personal responsibility. Thank God for preservation, and thank you for sharing a lesson many people need to reflect on, particularly during crossover nights.
Sacrifice? Oga Afghanistan is 99% Muslim and many of them never heard of christ. Why don't you go there and spread the gospel of our lord?

You don’t seem to understand evolution. I don’t accept the biblical creation story, but that doesn’t mean evolution is just a ‘belief’ opposing religion. Evolution explains how life diversifies over time using evidence from genetics, fossils, and biology.
The problem is that many creationists reject evolution without actually studying it. Until you’re willing to read, learn, and approach it with an open mind, the evidence will never make sense to you.
Exactly. When Christians learn science from whatever their pastors tell them. When the pastor doesn't know science or he purposely decides to tell his congregation rubbish,this is the product. The guy has not picked up a science book before

ogascomax:
Your arguments are lame. God gave man free will to act in whatever capacity they wish but at the end of all things he would judge man. Even you that is a rebel today God gave you that freedom to believe whatsoever you chose but at the end he would judge you. Whatever thing you need to believe in the existence of God is available but you have chose to follow lies.

So let's dive more into these things.
“The Bible is not written in modern scientific language, but it makes foundational claims that align with reality:
The universe had a beginning
Order preceded life
Life came from life
Humanity is unique and purposeful”
“ The Bible is not primitive” argument.
Can science prove that only natural causes exist?
Is methodological naturalism a rule or a fact?
Why trust reason if it evolved purely for survival, not truth?
“If our minds are products of blind processes, why trust them to discover truth?”
That’s a philosophical problem for naturalism.
“Science explains mechanisms. The Bible explains meaning, origin, and purpose. These are not enemies — but when science oversteps into philosophy, it stops being science.”
The universe operates within extremely precise constants.
“If gravity, electromagnetic force, or nuclear forces were slightly different, life would be impossible.”
These shows that something design the earth to be perfect, that thing can only be God and science cannot prove where those things come from. When science talked about an imaginary lines that runs through the earth, the North and South poles, talking about longitude and latitude.
God created all those things, the imaginary things you are talking about.
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Colossians 1:16-17
[16]For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
[17]And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Prov. 8:22-31.]
Science does not have a claim of how the earth came about but we have a God that says he created what you don't know how it came about. Who them are you going to believe. God or the unknown?
1.Yhwh does not condone freewill. It's a myth promoted by Christians when Yhwh clearly trample on freewill of several people in the bible like the Pharaoh, Job,Nehemiah etc. Freewill is an excuse Christians give to put their god out of scrutiny but they pray every day for their god to change the heart of their bosses, spouses, governors,presidents etc thereby disrupting the freewill of those folks listed. It's really funny. Also how is there freewill if an all knowing god already knows what we're gonna do? Does it make sense? And finally, let's just assume for the purpose of this discussion that yhwh allows freewill. Then why punish humans for exercising this freewill? It's just like a dad telling his toddler"u can eat ice cream or rice but if you eat rice,imma punish u" of course the child ice cream since rice carries a punishment.
2.And which scientists told you the world has a beginning? The consensus is still that we don't know
3. Science is agnostic about supernatural events since it cannot interface with it. If you have evidence of supernatural phenomena,do let us know
4. So you don't trust your reasoning faculties,or what? So if we can't trust our minds,what can we trust? Tell me what it is,and why
5. Ah,the bible. The book that never stops giving. The bible has been found not just to contain half-truths,but contradictions and plain lies. I have made a thread about the bible contradictions on this forum. Two other atheists have made similar threads too. The brave christians that managed to make contributions were incoherent. The bible has been found to be historically,scientifically and logically incorrect. Examples abound. Egypt never colonized Israel,there was no time the sun or moon stood still,there was no time people mass resurrected from the grave etc. I can go on but if you want the thread, check my profile.
6. Can you explain this sentence?
'If gravity, electromagnetic force, or nuclear forces were slightly different, life would be impossible'
This is cos life can survive with 1.5G gravity or 0.5G gravity. Also humans can survive when the other parameters you mentioned are altered. Animals are highly resilient and evolve to adapt to many environments
Also the human body is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
7. So if I tell you that this world was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, would you believe it and why or why not?

However, we fight devus because they raise science beyond its due place, which is a tool for solving our problems. That is all.

Secondly, things don't just exist. Someone creates them, so evolution is a Lie. And the fact that they say "theories" is proof that they are not real but mere speculations.
