Is there any support system inside of the Watchtower Society for families who have faced?

Question

death in the family due to Jehovah's Witnesses' antimedical doctrine?

How you are supposed to take it? Are these cases looked up as ultimate obedience for the organization?

Adara: Luckily you do not decide who is blasphemer.

Could you just answer the question and leave the unrelated cut and paste outside.

Answer 1

how about...

those who've died prior to Organ transplants being allowed.
those who've died prior to innoculations being allowed.
those who've died prior to blood fractions being allowed, even?

the only support system I've seen is an anonymous internet site that is JWs for Blood Reform at http://www.ajwrb.org/

Notice in the middle of the page the Awake Magazine's dedication to children who've died for the blood doctrine.. it's disgusting.

dont' you just wanna shake some people? WAKE UP

Answer 2

No, the various corporate entities with name similar to "Watchtower Society" are not so tasked. For the most part, these entities merely manage practical and governmental compliance matters. Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses provide support to families and individuals.

Of course, it is shamefully dishonest to pretend that Jehovah's Witnesses are "anti-medical", as this questioner has done.

Answer 3

Produce one record of a death due to "anti medical" teachings.

Do not bother trying to use blood transfusions as an "anti medical" teaching. It's not "anti medical", it's scriptural, like it or not.


"How you are supposed to take it?"

How does anyone "take" the death of a loved one?

Jehovah's Witnesses are not "anti medical" just because they do not accept blood transfusions. We go to the doctor, we go to the dentist, usually our children are born in a hospital.

Answer 4

First, we are in NO way anti medical. If you have done any research, and you do seem rather bright, so I know you have done the research, so you know we are in part responsible for allot of newer techniques coming out.

I recently lost my father to cancer, the brothers and sisters, who barely know us as we are new here were amazingly supportive.

Answer 5

I have seen you for weeks come to this forum dissing God in essence and his organization. True there are mistakes made as far as "the conduct and behavior of imperfect people" within this organization. Even I have admitted to this myself, however, you seem to lack accurate knowledge or maybe it is that you are blinded by some dark force.

In order for you to understand what you term "death by anti-medical doctrine", you need to firstly be more specific. The only thing that witnesses to not take in is marijuana smoking and blood.

As far as you are concerned, you continue to have much blasphemy against God, not the bad seeds of the organization, but God himself. Perhaps you need to be asking God these questions instead of your ridicule and blasphemous gestures and outrage here on this forum. Here are a few scriptures for EVEN YOU to absorb and do so quickly:

James 1: 12 - 15

Happy is the man that keeps on enduring trial, because on becoming approved he will receive the crown of life, which Jehovah promised to those who continue loving him. When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.

2 Peter 3: 8 - 10

"However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief..."

BLASPHEMERS
------------------------
Never be bullied nor ever feel inferior to an atheist or slanderer of God. Try to always put Jehovah God first in whatever you do in life and that includes being in the face of those who hate him and his son.

They should not scare you and you do not have to go down to their level. You can smile when they behave this way because you know what God's word, the Bible says about ridiculers:

Ridiculers are, in general, detestable to others. (Proverbs 24:9) If such do not accept reproof, they will experience disaster. (Proverbs 1:22-27) And how despicable are those who deride the poor, or their own parents. (Proverbs 17:5; 30:17) Ridiculers often refuse to listen to rebuke (Proverbs 13:1) and do not love those reproving them. (Proverbs 9:7, 8; 15:12) Nevertheless, they should be disciplined for the benefit of others. (Proverbs 9:12; 19:25, 29; 21:11) Instead of keeping company with such unholy ones, it is better to drive them away; much happier are those who refuse to sit with ungodly ridiculers. (Psalms 1:1; Proverbs 22:10)

“For you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires.” (2 Peter 3:3) Jude says that the desires of these ridiculers are “for ungodly things.” He calls them “animalistic men, not having spirituality.” (Jude 17-19)

You can and should rejoice in the face of ridiculers because you know you are doing God's will and it was prophecied that these lowly ones would come out of the smallest of rocks to try to offend Jehovah and you, yet you stand strong. Rejoice in the face of ridiculers, and leave them alone.

If you have a problem with a witness because of attitude I could see you sharing your experience, but you slander God when you continue to post blasphemy where you don't take the time to obtain accurate knowledge.

Ask God, not a forum. Go get on your knees and ask God for wisdom and stop this every week.
