He said something along the lines of ... "I cannot be in stillness, in meditation, with myself, because I would be pushing God out of my mind, leaving space for other thoughts that might be harmful to myself." (a rough quotation). Of course we all have our own reasons ... sprouted from whatever it may be. Aren't human beings fascinating! ;)<BR/>Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395734939949400191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-53855746982856268832007-11-30T07:39:00.000-05:002007-11-30T07:39:00.000-05:00Many Jehovah's Witnesses men,women and children di...Many Jehovah's Witnesses men,women and children die every year worldwide due to blood transfusion ban.Rank & file Jehovah's Witness are indoctrinated to be scared to death of blood. <BR/><BR/>1) JW's DO USE many parts aka 'fractions' aka components of blood,so if it's 'sacred' to God why the hypocritical contradiction flip-flop? <BR/><BR/>2) They USE blood collections that are donated by Red cross and others but don't donate back,more hypocrisy. <BR/><BR/>3) The Watchtower promotes and praises bloodless elective surgeries,this is a great advancement indeed.BUT it's no good to me if I am bleeding to death from a car crash and lose half my blood volume and need EMERGENCY blood transfusion. <BR/>The Watchtower's rules against blood transfusions will eventually be abolished (very gradually to reduce wrongful death lawsuit liability) even now most of the blood 'components' are allowed. <BR/>In 20 years there will be artificial blood and the Red Cross will go on with other noble deeds. <BR/>Danny HaszardDanny Haszardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633280207715554376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715154140461114214.post-58297735401483996122007-11-30T00:19:00.000-05:002007-11-30T00:19:00.000-05:00You should check out the "history" page on either ...You should check out the "history" page on either of the following before doing any more with the JWs.<BR/><BR/><BR/>SUMMARIES OF 600 JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES LAWSUITS & COURT CASES<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>The following website summarizes over 315 U.S. court cases and lawsuits affecting children of Jehovah's Witness Parents, including 100+ cases where the JW Parents refused to consent to life-saving blood transfusions for their dying children:<BR/> <BR/>DIVORCE, BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, AND OTHER LEGAL ISSUES AFFECTING CHILDREN OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES<BR/> <BR/>http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com<BR/> <BR/><BR/>The following website summarizes over 285 lawsuits filed by Jehovah's Witnesses against their Employers, and/or incidents involving problem JW Employees:<BR/> <BR/>EMPLOYMENT ISSUES UNIQUE TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESS EMPLOYEES<BR/> <BR/>http://jwemployees.bravehost.comJJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519473770669042975noreply@blogger.com
