God Would Never Approve Suicide
Most all religious people are continually outraged by the awful practice of murder by abortion. Why then are not more of the faithful speaking out against the practice of denying blood to those that need it for medical purposes?
Another misguided soul of 22 years old, has willingly gave up her life yesterday, while refusing a blood transfusion following the birth of her two beautiful twin babies. These offspring now will sadly grow up without her. This is an injustice based upon ignorance and twisted teachings of the word of God, and is regrettably happening way too often.
Instead of calling this practice what it is, “suicide,” the faithful within this strange group that call themselves Jehovah’s Witnesses, insist that refusing blood is God’s will for man. Oh yes, it is true the Bible speaks of the devilish practice of drinking the blood of any living thing. And it is also true that some nations routinely were involved in this sick ritual, as some are to this very day. But to make this command to abstain from blood, a test of faith when it comes to needed transfusions in medical emergencies, is a travesty of the highest order.
There are folks that should be ashamed for teaching such non-sense as this. Sadly, if one among their number decides to save their life or anyone of their loved ones lives with needed life sustaining blood, they are shunned forever by this so called church. This by the way is only one reason that I cannot refer to them as a church. This is only one reason that I must call them what they are, a cult!
There is not much that can be done about this religious band of nuts however, except attempting to teach the truth to JW individuals when given the opportunity. I have found that you must converse with them one on one though. You will not be too successful with more than one at a time. And even this is quite a challenge to say the least. I have on occasion been met with face reddened anger when attempting to show the truth of the scriptures to them.
How many good folks have to die because of this blind faith and allegiance to a sect that was founded upon a man that thought he was a prophet of God. He was no prophet this we know. For if Charles Taze Russell would have been correct in his predictions of the coming of Christ, we might have known that he was indeed a prophet come from God. But he was not correct. For crying out loud, he was not correct multiple times!
The Bible makes it clear that this is how you can determine if one who claims to be a prophet of God is for real. If his prophecies do not come to be, such a one is an impostor. People, Charles Taze Russell was an impostor. An impostor who is killing good folks to this day because of his wayward teachings. I pray for these poor blinded souls. My heart goes out to them. Lord have mercy on those responsible for this injustice. And please Lord, forgive this young lady that gave everything because she was deceived.
