Jehovahs Witnesses Revealed

For the Jehovah’s Witnesses, organ transplants were not an option, at least not between the years of 1967 through 1980.

The Watchtower, November 15, 1967 “Humans were allowed by god to keep animal flash and to sustain their human lives by taking the lives of animals, though they were not permitted to eat blood. Did this including human flesh, sustaining one’s life by means of the body or part of the body of another human, alive or dead? No! That would be cannibalism, a practice at the abhorrent to all civilized people… when there is a disease or defect of Oregon, than usual way health is restored is by taking in nutrients. The body and uses food eaten to repair or he’ll do work and, gradually replacing the cells. Women of science conclude that this normal process will no longer work and they suggest we moving the organ and replacing it directly with an organ from another human, this is simply a shortcut. Those who submit to such operations are thus living to off the flash of another human. That is cannibalistic.”

Awake!, June 8, 1968 “There are those, such as Christian Witnesses of Jehovah, who consider all transplants between humans as cannibalism”

The Watchtower, Mar. 15, 1980 “Regarding the transplantation of human tissue or bone from one human to another, this is a matter for conscientious decision by each one of Jehovah’s witnesses. Some Christians might feel that taking into their bodies in each issue or body part from another human base cannibalistic … Other sincere Christians today may feel that the Bible does not definitely ruled out medical transplants up human organs. They may reason that in some cases the human material is not expected to become a permanent part of the recipient’s body. Body cells are said to be replaced about every seven years, and this would be true of any human body parts that would be transplanted. It may be argued, too, that organ transplants are different from cannibalism since the “donor” is not killed to supply food … while the Bible specifically forbids consuming blood, there is no Biblical command pointedly forbidding of the taking and of other human tissue.

So for thirteen years the Jehovah’s witnesses risked their lives by obeying what was taught them by the Watchtower. How many people went blind rather than getting a cornea transplant because of his teaching? How many people died Instead of getting a kidney, lung or liver transplant? Let me ask you, how wise would it be to trust your own spiritual well being to an organization that has misrepresented God’s law in such a life and death matters? Would you place you’re eternity in their hands?

Vaccinations

The Golden Age February 4,1931 p. 293 “Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the flood.”

The Watchtower December 15,1952 p. 764 “Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?… After consideration of the matter, it does not appear to us to be in violation of the everlasting covenant made with Noah, as set down in Genesis 9:4, nor contrary to God’s related commandment at Leviticus 17:10-14… Hence all objection to vaccination on Scriptural grounds seems to be lacking.”

The Watchtower November 1,1961 p. 670 “Since the Bible forbids the eating of blood, how are Christians to view the use of serums and vaccines? Has the Society changed its viewpoint on this?…However, vaccination is a virtually unavoidable practice in many segments of modern society, and the Christian may find some comfortunder the circumstances in the fact that this use is not in actuality a feeding or nourishing process, which was specifically forbidden when God said that man was not to eat blood, but it is a contamination of the human system.”

Awake August 22,1965 p. 20 “There can be little doubt that vaccinations appear to have caused a marked decrease in the number of people contracting certain contagious diseases.”

The Watchtower, October 1, 1994, p. 31 “Would it be proper to accept a vaccination or some other medical injection containing albumin derived from human blood? Witnesses have long realized that this is a matter for private decision in accord with each one’s Bible-trained conscience. Some Christians who feel that they can in good conscience accept such injections have noted that antibodies from the blood of a pregnant woman cross into the blood of the baby in her womb.”

There have been cases where Jehovah’s Witnesses would have sympathetic Doctors burn a child’s arm with acid to make it appear that the child had been vaccinated so they could attend public school. Its sad that anyone would consider their ban on blood transfusions with the track record they have in medical doctrines.

Since their inception, the Watchtower has flip-flopped on many of their doctrines. These doctrines were not some small issues. These are doctrines that many Jehovah’s Witnesses paid the ultimate price for. They remained blind instead of getting an cornea transplant and died of kidney failure instead of having a kidney transplant. People were put at risk of smallpox and other infectious deceases after being told they could not have any vaccinations.

Then 20 years later they have decided that it is ok to have a transplant or vaccine and actually contradict themselves on waht they previously taught.

I can’t understand how anyone can say they are “God’s Organization” and his sole “channel of communication” with the record they hold with their medical doctrines. Lets just think about this for a moment. So God told them something was forbidden and their followers were to avoid it at all cost. Then God told them that he made a mistake and it was ok after all. How ludicrous is that? You will never find God telling his people to do something that may cost them their life and then contradicting himself later. Who is this god they say they are speaking for? This is not the God of the Bible.

Based on this constent flip flop of doctrines and the leaders poor interpretation, should a Jehovah’s Witness now trust their child’s life or even their own life to medical doctrines that are still on the books like blood transfusions? Looking at their track record on their medical doctrines they show no reliabilty at all.

I think it’s important to point out something. The Jehovah’s Witness quickly did an about face when these bans were lifted. They immediately began to have organ transplants and vaccinations. So the question is this. Where they following what the Bible said or what the Watchtower told them it was saying? Where they following God or Man? Is this a God made organization as they want you to believe or a man made organization?
