I think JW’s should refrain from speaking about science.
We have many scientists in our ranks......what makes you think we are ignorant of science?
The link you sent me said that blood transfusions saves lives - maybe you are just a little uneducated on the subject or in general. The fact that blood transfusion is overused or even used when it isn’t necessary has nothing to do with its life saving abilities.
Don’t be fooled by the title....the content of the video was all about its dangers. Did you see the scan results after the transfusion? It carries a ‘greater risk of morbidity and mortality than any other medical procedure’....did you miss that bit? The science wasn’t mine....it was the words of men who are experts in their field, warning that things have to change......I am assuming you didn’t watch all of it or you couldn’t say what you just did.
- sending a link that agrees with me, but underlines that blood transfusion is overused, only proves my point.
The link agrees with us....selective hearing much? Overused is an understatement. Did you know that when you sign a hospital admission form in Australia they ask you if you have EVER had a blood transfusion. You are receiving someone else’s DNA. What do you think that does?
Do you think it is just coincidence that the human circulatory system is compatible with ordinary sea water? As long as the volume is kept up with saline volume expanders, red cells are made up quite quickly (EPO is excellent for this) and what red cells are available (as the scan in the video showed) are delivered to the tissues. No one will survive a serious road trauma if they cannot stop the bleeding.
JWs don’t love their children, they won’t give them blood transfusion when that transfusion will save the life of the child and should the child grow up to disagree with their faith - the parents will shun them. Don’t talk to anyone about justice or love before you end those practices. Not to mention the child abuse cases..
Oh my goodness what incredibly hateful things to say just to be spiteful. I have explained all things in detail and still you choose to run off with the lies. It shows the true colours as I said. Attack is a pathetic form of defence....you have shown once again that you have no interest in the truth.
You haven’t answered a single challenge I have put to you, regarding your beliefs......ones that I once held, but you are very free with the accusations, which I am sure make you feel quite proud of yourself.
But...there are always two sides to every story.
There is no other treatment for victims of a traffic accident, who has lost too much blood. We can give salt water maybe even improve the odds with EPO in some cases - but quit acting as if you have science backing up, your unloving rejection of blood transfusion for your children.
You do understand that even if people have copious amounts of blood...they can still die. More people in fact die after a transfusion than because they refuse one. We have had many in our ranks told point blank that they would die without blood....and none of them did. In fact they recovered much more quickly than those who accepted blood. Why would there be whole hospitals now dedicated to non-blood management of their patients? We have experts on the latest non-blood techniques and doctors often consult our Hospital Liaison team for advice when treating Witness patients.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about. But no matter, your prejudices will be fed regardless.
I never said that I know what hell is exactly (except for a place where there is weeping and grinding of teeth) but I can say that I will never say that God isn’t a God of justice - no matter what is in his plans (eternal torture or not). I’m the transgressor and I’ve been saved by grace, who am I to comment on God’s justice or what’s fair in regards to punishment? Nobody but God knows exactly what justice is, we got the very concept from him. Now you are saying that if God is practicing eternal hellfire for sinners, he is unjust?
We are left in no doubt about Jehovah’s Justice...it is all recorded for us in his word. The opposite of life is death......there is no “life after death”, so therefore there is no place for anyone to go but 6 feet under....into “Sheol”...the place where the dead cannot see, hear, think, feel or act. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10) Solomon said that humans and animals go to the same place when they die...back to the dust. (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20)
There is no such place as a fiery “hell”....we should be grateful....no?
Isn’t it enough to just eliminate the wicked from existence? What is accomplished by the eternal suffering?
I’ve heard atheists use that exact same argument regarding starving children in Africa “if God is a loving god, then why? - that isn’t justice” - to think one can argue the fairness of God’s actions or inactions is simply idiotic. For us to do that, we would have to think that the creation outranks the creator.
What is idiotic is assuming that God is responsible for “the starving children in Africa” in the first place.
How much of what happens on this earth is man’s doing? Under influence from the ‘god’ he chose, man has abandoned the true God in favor of the one they created in their own image. A cruel and heartless despot who tortures people forever with no way to repent. If that is the god you worship, you are welcome to him....
