Jehovah's Witness mother of twins refuses blood transfusion then dies.

Bottom line - it's astonishing and sad that some fool can smugly create an absurd interpretation and sentence people to die.

I sometimes go back and read through old threads, just to see who was where on a particular issue. The Schiavo threads, I avoid because they make me sick.

Crap, so much for you and I joining together as life partners. You know where I stand on the Schiavo case. I want to stay plugged in and fed through a tube forever and ever. You'd unplug me. :bawl:

Damnit, I can't read the pevious pages anymore..

But some people think it's OK that she died for her beliefs? She SACRIFICED her life for her God, her religion.. good on her??

You've got to be kidding right?

Does anyone else see the ancients, the midieval people sacrificing virgins for their Gods? Do you see the irony? We look back at History and say "OMG how stupid were these people?? Sacrificing their children so the God of the Volcano didn't wipe out their village.. or so they would appease the crops God and they'd get rain so they could eat next year.. " We look back and shake our heads at their ignorance, but the woman today should be proud for doing the EXACT same thing, just in a little different context..

She appeased her God by not letting the doctor's do a simple procedure that would save her life.. I don't see a difference between that and sacrificing a Virgin to the Dragon God so the Dragon would stay away..

No Jw's here...much of their doctrine is based on not allowing themselves to be corrupted by the evil in others.... hence the no blood transfusion thing. They might "catch" evil that way...But coming on here and reading the viewpoints of us evil heretics is just as bad.



Idle thought, I wonder if, by posting in this thread, I might actually be able to read it... (board mommy fix the forums please. :bawl:)

Do you call Islamic suicide bombers fanatics.???? I do.

How about the slime who flew their planes into the WTC. Were they fanatics?
Thgey were.

Do you call the Phelps klan ,who protest funerals of soldiers calling it a protest of gays, fanatics and nuts?? I do.

She made a suicidal decision the same as a suicide bomber, she did it for religion, the same as they do. Only she only took out herself, so ,I guess thats ok, at least in your mind.

Big difference, dude: terrorists and the Phelps people hurt others with their "beliefs". This woman hurt no one. You can't even say she hurt herself, because those who believe in an afterlife do not see death that way.

:confused: I don't know...but that also has to do with not creating a "graven image." Which is something a lot of religions have argued against.

Dear Bob
I know you love these debates so please take a few minutes out to educate yourself on the religion that is being discussed so you may come back and bash their actual beliefs instead of just tossing stuff out there.

We can only read the last page of it. I have mine set to 40 posts per page. I was reading on page 3 of 3 and when it went over to page 4, I can no longer go back and read the last couple of posts on page 3. I never saw pages 1 or 2 at all.

They take pictures.

They don't believe in worshipping idols. This includes religious statuary of Jesus, Mary, etc.
