AboutBrenda Martin Expertise I have been one of Jehovah`s Witneses now for over 30 years, in those years I have brought up 4 children, teaching each of them the bible.Being one of Jehovah`s Witnesses has helped me cope with my Epilepsy and bring up a daughter with learning difficulties.I have conducted bible studies with people from nearly every denomination i.e. Muslim. Having used the bible all these years to answer peoples questions, I feel I am qualified to give any answer regarding Jehovah`s Witnesses and the bible.
Experience My experience has been one of attending bible lectures 5 times a week,taking part in these lectures in front of an audience and being with thousands of J.W. at conventions where I have seen the bible at work in peoples lives.It is truly a miracle when you see thousands of people meeting together and not one policeman needed, and not even a piece of litter in sight.It is like another world.
Question (1) Would you let your child die if a transfusion was the only cure to save your child's life?
(2) Let's say that your child is 15 and doesn't want to die, so he/she wants to get the transfusion. Would you respect their decision to live and let them have the transfusion?
(3) Adding to the second question, would you respect their decision to live if they chose the transfusion?
Answer 1. A blood transfusion is NEVER the "only cure" there are always other, more safer options.
2.Of course, it would be their choice at that age, I wouldnt sanction the transfusion, it would have to be their decision.
3.believe it or not JW's love their children,so respecting them and their decisions, goes with that love.
