Very sad how Satan has blinded the minds of those in this cult.
We have JW's in our neighborhood. They have some wierd beliefs.

I've heard of Reformed Christians (some on this board?) who have refused vaccinations for their children. Will such be held liable in the event of a terminal illness?

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart

When I was a young teen I got infected lesions on my lower legs after scratches from berry picking. They progressively worsened and my mother was frantic but my father said, 'No, we'll pray for her'. Thankfully my mother finally said, 'While you pray I'm taking her to the doctor' or something similar could have been my fate!

Our God gave resources to His people and we are to use wisdom and take advantage of those things necessary to preserve health, especially when responsible for the wellbeing of children. Such very sad ignorance. I would imagine now that the father of that child feels God failed them. They are so focused on experiences that they know little of biblical truth! They are to be pitied and prayed for!

Will parents who do not take care to study both sides of the vaccination issue also be held liable? A little

Very sad. The death penalty ought to be sought in this case as well.

Love for God demonstrated by the love for our children in giving them a God centered education is the only hope for our country. by David Morrow
Pslam 71:20 [Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

I'm not so sure that the parents of that child would think God failed them at all. Of course I haven't talked to them, but I have heard others state that they have totally given their child to God. Whether the child lives or dies, God is still God. That is the case whether they took the blood or not. It is sad when a parent looses a child. I could not imagine what that would be like. However, I bet they lean heavily on Job 2:10 in a situation like this.

They don't reject all medical intervention. They just draw the line with things like accepting blood from another person. As someone else already mentioned, others don't vaccinate their children. Some shun medical attention in situations that I never would, like having a baby at home. They see it as the way things should be. I feel like even if I decided to do it with no drugs or other interventions, I want to be in the hospital just in case something doesn't go according to plans. Should those people be executed should their child die?
