For the record, I am agnostic, but I did study with Witnesses as a young lad. While I now disagree with most of what I learned, what about other Christian religions? Catholic priests molesting children for years? Or Islam preaching peace while commissioning suicide bombers? If we condemn one religion, we should condemn them all. Maybe atheists have it best - they don't have to apologize for anything. Your video does provoke thought, though - that's always a good thing.

I plan a series of them looking at the strange beliefs of different faiths. Time has not been kind to me lately and I am due to post another one soon.

Just read a tragic story about this subject: tinyurl . com /25jcmd

Very sad what dogmatic beliefs can do to people.

[askegg]

What a terrible waste. Now two children must grow up without their beautiful mother.

If I hadn't accepted a blood transfusion on at least two occasions in my life...I would've never seen this excellent video...

Don't forget the heavy guilt prevalent in JW. My grandmother is a JW, and she did something really awful when my mom tried to tell her about being sexually abused as a 9 year old child. The church had guilt-ridden my grandma so much that she said; "if anything bad is happening to you, its because God is punishing you and I don't want to know about it."

That kind of guilt is just sick.

I think the Jehovas are on the right track with that one.

In fact all theists who deny evolution & the processes of science should, in good conscience refuse medical treatment.

If you believe that god can heal you let him do his job. The worst that can happen is that you will go to heaven right?

[flippinburger777]

My grandmother was (and still is) a JW. Granted she comes from a really troubled background, so I'm sure her own personal guilt was the catalyst for whatever the JW taught her. But still, that type of thinking is easy to find in any religious environment. Christianity has three primary motivations for belief; Salvation, Guilt and Fear.

And for the record, I don't think ALL JW would say the same thing to my mom that my grandma did in that situation. But thats just what was allowed to happened .

@benjaman76

Oh by the way, don't think I'm protecting them, I've just been raisaid as a JW... and left at 18 years old (my parent wouldn't let me before that)

I'm now a hardcore atheist :p

@benjaman76

As an ex-JW, I must say that I highly doubt that your grandma really made this statement. (If your gramdma was really a JW)

JW do not believe that bad things happen because of God. They'd never say such a thing. For them, god is good (no exception) and all the bad thing happen because of satan, that want to turn you away from God by making you think that God is responsible.

But yes, when something that serious happen, they make sure it dosen't leak out of the congregation.

[M1ST3RHYDE]

I Really liked how you ended this Video. "Thats religion For You"

[enhanceUK]

Well I was A JW for 25 years of my life and while there are a few glaring flaws in your analysis (for example they do not believe in hell fire mealy death without hope of resurrection) you have still summed things up pretty well. The blood doctrine is one of the most convoluted belief's on earth.
