>My son has always been grateful that we do not celebrate Christmas. He gets to go to Toys-R-Us anytime in the year to obtain whatever he wants. And over the years he has "wanted" a lot.

I was DF for those years. My sons attended parties, enjoyed themselves as fellow students with kids of many religions and races. They played sports, went to dances, had many friends (and still do!), joined various clubs, play in a band, helped out charities and their less fortunate comrades, never did drugs or drink still to this day! All without being different and social outcasts, spending dreary weekends delivering worthless literature to uninterested people, living in fear of 'soon', 'just around the corner', 'shut up or I will slap you with this spoon' boring meetings.

>The new Awake! has excellent articles on successful bloodless surgery. It is a fallacy to assume that refusing blood equates to a
death wish.

More die daily. The easy way out? Die now and wake up in paradise? Do you even have the foggiest notion of how relatives of these ones feel when they come across the 'man behind the curtain' and see that the 'Wizard' is a deceptive fool?
That moment when they realize their loved one is gone because of the interpretations of men?
Then they must hope the Christian hope is true. It's all they have left.

>Refusing blood may very well be lifesaving, even in the physical sense.

Even with AIDS and HEP, less than .05% exposure.

>Frankly, and apart from the religious aspect, transfusing blood seems archaic and barbaric to me, in an age where men and machines traverse space and the human intellect constantly expands. It is well past time to find successful alternatives to that practice.

What do you think has been happening over the years? How many veterans, accident victims, birth mothers, children with blood disease are alive because of blood trans? Think of your children and thank our Lord you still have them, Many do not.

>But of course no such alternatives will be found if no one is looking for them, due to holding forth blood transfusion as some sort of sacred cow. Religious doctrines are not the only ones men have raised to the status of dogma.

What an idiotic statement. It is self-debunking!
