Finally, I stopped to remonstrate with her. I would prefer to hang the blood directly to its infusion port! I have tried to persuade her to, again and again: You'll get my blood! But she has refused. I am not a Jehovah's Witness. Often we have discussed at home about blood transfusions. I am a nurse, for me, blood is a drug like antibiotic. That's why I've never understood why Marina for a blood donation regarded as a sin. My wife was the best human being I know, kind and helpful, never talked bad about other people. She had taken the decision to lead a righteous life before God. That's why I finally stopped to remonstrate with her, accepting her will, respected her.
I did not wanted to disappoint her by doing something that does not want her. Especially not because she could not resist. Evil is for me that I am now publicly attacked. That is why I have described in an Internet forum my view. My wife is dead, the house terribly empty. We wanted to have another child, and to grow old together. My life is in ruins, but I have to try to work to. For our daughter. She is everything I have.

A little girl grieves for his mother. Marina J. (29) from Wetzlar in Hessen/Germany died in hospital because she refused a life-saving blood transfusion. She had an open, friendly smile. Why the mother would rather die than stay with her daughter on earth? Marina was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses - the faith community sees blood exchange as a sin. In BILD speak her husband, her mother and the hospital CEO who had to helplessly witness their death.
It is the night of 5 July 2008. J. Marina lies in a hospital in Lich (Hessen/Germany). In the fourth month, the 29-year old housewife has lost her second child. For hours she bleeds. The doctors decide to give her a transfusion, but Marina J. refuses. She has a patient's Statement: No Blood! Nothing can deter the Jehovah's Witnesses from their conviction that this is tantamount to sin.
Even the assurance that their six year old daughter Nadia needs to grow up without a mother, her husband Andrei (31) becomes a widower, agrees not to J. Marina. It is true to their faith, even unto death. On early Saturday morning at 4.04 clock Marina J. leaves the life - and life is leaving her. All that remains is a little girl, standing with folded hands in front of the urn of her dead mother, silently asking, "Mom, why?"

The appearance of Jesus was for the Jews and is still strange for most people, and Jesus is disconcerting for the Jehovah's Witnesses especially disconcerting. Jesus, in his words did not come to abolish the Law but fulfill it. In the tradition of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) Jesus appears as a fearful aggravation of the law. His demands are so tough that we all recognize immediately meet: Oh man, I can never. This Jesus, who comes to adultery, for example, from the traditional law of fact, gone into it shifted to the head, approached us with statements that have to be horrified that all of us. Jesus' requirements are so excessive and pure, that we quickly note: I do not really belong to those who could fulfill these demands.
How much more must be Jesus' words for us salvation when he says: Not that which enters the body, makes us unclean, but what emanates from us.
This Jesus, who approaches the one hand, with most impossible demands on us, he redeemed us completely from any precept of traditional Jewish food selection. Suddenly, everything we could ever eat, clean. Paul says at one point to the same: To the pure all things are pure. There are no prohibitions for Jesus and Paul, for Christians, as far as substances that could enter our body.
But this is only for those who seriously believe in Jesus. Who does not classify the words of Jesus as the words of the Supreme (after all, Jesus says: But I tell you ...), from the Bible can nip out and sell just about anything into law that it is precisely the point. It should be noted, however, remains: Jesus has cleaned up with these things.
The Watchtower Society speaks often about the deep things of Jehovah. One must know it, internalize it, study it. Jesus says in Revelation 2 to the church in Thyatira:
The concept of the deep things of Satan comes only once in the entire Bible. With these deep things of Satan, a special teaching is connected, which was held in the church in Thyatira appeal. People who accepted the special theory are referred to by Jesus as a man who committed adultery with her drive (Revelation 2, 22).
The doctrine of the Jehovah's Witnesses who deny Christ as God, is associated with the deep things of Jehovah. The laws, which were created solely on the basis of sexual naughtiness of their founder Charles T. Russell, this doctrine, that demands human sacrifice and provokes a biblically unjustifiable restraint on the policy advocated this doctrine of the Watchtower Society is intimately linked with the deep things of Jehovah. This special God, who forbids the people a direct line to Jesus categorically - must be Satan. Thus, the correlation is the deep things of Satan/Jehovah) between the words of Jesus in Revelation 2 and the specific religion of Jehovah's Witnesses more obvious than the Governing Body is admitting of the people.
The believers of Thyatira, who was not indulged this special teaching, are not provided with further regulations. Jesus says simply and clearly: I cast no burden on you. But what you have, hold, till I come! From this we see once again that Christians in Jesus are completely free of rituals, rules, laws, people, traditions and much more. A Christian is free.
But those who are in this special teaching are, by their own desires have to groan under the burdens continue their own rules. The mother of the Special Education Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, and servants of Jesus teaches and seduces, fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols, will continue to ensure that people impose burdens that have nothing to do with the Bible in the least. "Fornication" is similar in the Watchtower Society: follow the Jehovah, the antigod. "Eat idol-sacrifices" corresponds to the Watchtower Society: Belief in the healing power of the preaching of effecting service of either following the many special laws. The refusal of a blood transfusion is in this way the pure god-victim meal. It is the consolation of his consciousness, through such measures to be closer to God. But the Jehovah's Witnesses consistently ignore that you can only get closer to God through Jesus.
The reasoning of the Watchtower Society binds to a passage in Acts, where the community leads a debate whether the Jesus-believers from among the Gentiles, circumcision should be ordered or not. Within this debate, it came about that on the testimony of Paul and Barnabas entered the wonders and miracles among the Gentiles, and the fact that God had given them the Holy Spirit, a silence. This silence is interrupted by James. This James says: "Therefore I judge ..." (the Jewish New Testament by David H. Stern, it is even clearer), translated "Therefore, my opinion is that ..."! The debate thus culminates in the testimony of Paul and Barnabas, and is terminated by the thoughts of James. The opinion of one single Jewish Christian, therefore, leads to the fact that the Gentile Christians shall transmit to the rules of thumb, which now lead to the fact that the Jehovah's Witnesses make a huge fuss over the blood.
Not the words of Jesus are important for the Watchtower Society in the blood issue, not the words of the Holy Spirit and not the words of the Father are important for the Watchtower Society in the blood issue, but precisely the opinion of a Jewish Christian, who just proposed a compromise! Mai have been so nice that James also for the community, he just has expressed his personal opinion! And this man's words, no more and no less than a compromise in a debate that opinion, an opinion of someone who was still honest enough to call it really and explicitly his own opinion - this expression is abused by the Watchtower Society to be supplied to the world again and again to the early death of people, destroying families, making children orphans, widows and widowers of women to men. The Jehovah's Witnesses are a world organization that represents the opinion of one person higher than the words of Jesus!
The shudder that comes over the reader when he reads reports that once again someone is deliberately bled to death, that is again a young man, a child, a wife, a father, a mother, a divorced husband far too early in the life because the deep things of Jehovah (the Watchtower is also very fond of the intentions of Jehovah), the pressure exerted to - horror of that corresponds to the situation perfectly and is more than appropriate. It is the horror, the people feel that if the devil himself has his fun because anyone can jump over the blade. It is the horror that comes over us when the superiority of a specific religion, people enjoyable destroyed. Documentary programs about the human sacrifices of the Maia, or the reporting of human sacrifice among the Jehovah's Witnesses - the shudder shook us. God does not want such things! Only Satan has his fun in it.
The Bible is abused by the Watchtower Society in an absolute manner and misinterpreted. The peak of the open people hate this society is to pass legislation over the blood. The rapid destruction of the Jehovah's Witnesses in the wrong faith is the highest and most beautiful goal of the Watchtower Society, and so that it complies fully with their Lord.
The inner joy within the teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses at the fast decline of the people (early destruction of all evil), expresses, for example, readily apparent in jehovaistic suicide forums in which a Wolfgang Miko specifically argues for just the Jehovah's Witnesses quickly and painlessly killing themselves.
If there are people who pay tribute to the suicide orgies of Jehovah's Witnesses, those must be said: you are guilty like them!
Romans 14.14: I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
