It happened again.

I never met Dennis Lindberg. He was just an average kid from a suburb of of Seattle. Judging from his photo he was a good looking young man, nice smile, eyes full of promise and maybe a little mischief. He was 14 years old.That would put him in 8th or 9th grade I guess. A pretty special time of life, at least it was for me. Puberty kicking into high gear, discovering girls, thinking about the future,  starting to decide what you want to do with your life. A sad happy scary time of life. Pretty damn exciting stuff! Unfortunately Dennis doesn't have any of those horrible/wonderful things to look forward to any more, he died. You see Dennis had leukemia. These days they have quite a few treatment options available and the doctors could have prolonged his life quite a bit. The problem was that Dennis refused to get a life saving blood transfusion. The treatments that would have saved his life ended up killing him. 

Dennis was a Jehovah's Witness. J.W.'s don't believe in blood transfusions. They have a very bizarre and narrow interpretation a couple of bible verses that specifically forbid the consumption of blood. They extrapolate that to mean that blood transfusions are forbidden by god. I'll site you the main scriptures that J.W.s use to base their beliefs , you go look them up and decide for yourself. 

Genesis 9:4
Leviticus 17:12-14
Acts 15:29
Acts 21:25

Now go look them up. If you don't have a bible handy here's a link for an online bible: www.biblegateway.com
Look those up, tell me what you think, I'll wait till you get back. Take your time,think about it this is serious stuff. When you get back scroll down and I'll tell you what I think. 

Now this is what I think:

Attention All Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society people what ever you call yourselves these days: 

You pack of goddamn baby killing sons of bitches leave the children alone! I could care less if you Jonestown yourselves if you're an adult. Just keep the Kool-Aid to yourself. Let the kids grow up so they can decide for themselves. If they are moronic enough after they grow up to still want to kill themselves, more power to them. In the mean time I want you bastards to leave them the hell alone! Growing up is hard enough with out you bastards mucking about.

Thinking about all this makes me wish that hell was real.

Jehovah's Witnesses elders will investigate and disfellowship any Jehovah Witness who takes a blood transfusion,to say the issue is a 'personal conscience matter' is subterfuge to keep the Watchtower out of lawsuits.

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.

FYI
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?

2) They USE blood collections that are donated by Red cross and others but don't donate back,more hypocrisy.

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.

Know this,the reason that JW refuse blood is because of their spin on the 3000 year old Biblical old testament,modern medicine will eventually make blood donations and transfusions a thing of the past.When this technology happens it won't vindicate the Jehovah's Witnesses and all the deaths that have occured so far.
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.
In 20 years there will be artificial blood and the Red Cross will go on with other noble deeds.

None of these changes will absolve the Watchtower leaders or vindicate their twisted doctrines
Are there dangers from blood?There are over 500 aspirin deaths in USA yearly.
