Writer says dogma horrifying
Dear Editor:
This letter is in reply to
Mr. C. F. Barney's titled,
"Even Medical Men.
Question Practice" May
28, 1980 in the Goderich
Signal -Star.
He goes to great pain to
try convincing, us that
medical authorities
question the practice. In
connection with the stand
taken by the Jehovah's
Witnesses in regards to
the transfusion of blood,
let it be noted that
THERE IS NO SCRIP -
TURA REASON FOR
REFOSING THE
TRANSFUSING OF
BLOOD FROM ONE
PERSON TO
ANOTHER!!
Think very soberly on
the following if you will. A
case was recorded by the
New York Daily News of
April 27, 1952. I will quote
the news item here in its
entirety., Odessa, Texas,
April 27 (U.P.) "The
father and two brothers
of a critically injured
woman were arrested
today when they tried to
prevent a doctor from
giving her a blood
transfusion considered
necessary to save her
Life ` _.
Marie Oliff, 20, -was
given the blood as the
three men were removed
from the hospital room
where she had been
unconscious for a week.
The girl suffered a
compound skull fracture,
a fractured pelvis _,and
fractures of both legs in
an automobile collision
and her physician said
she might die if she did
not receive a transfusion
immediately.
Her father and brothers
had stood guard at her
room and said they would
resort to force if anyone
tried to give her blood.
Members of the
Jehovah's Witnesses:
religious sect,they
claimed the Bible forbids
transfusions.
Miss Oliff regained
consciousness briefly
today and physicians
decided to ask her if -she
could "over -rule her
family.
First they asked her if
she was a member of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
"No" she replied.
"Do you want a tran-
sfusion if one is
necessary?" a doctor.
asked.
"Yes" she said.
"Tell them you're a
member of the Jehovah's
Witnesses and you don't
want a blood tran-
sfusion," John told his
sister several times.
Her father, William
Oliff, 54, a Mirland,
Texas, trailer camp
operator, told doctors,
"You're trying to kill my
girl."
Acting under a court
order, the doctors called
police who ousted the
three men from the
hospital room.
"You can't treat us like
'this unless you arrest
us," John said.
"All right,"an officer
replied, "all three of you
are under arrest. You're
charged with disturbing
peace. Let's go to jail."
The three were

done since retirement,
dealing particularly with
work done in a city in
Mexico through the
Christian Children's
Fund.
For many years the
Needhams have spon-
sored children through
this fund and have
worked in various parts
of the world helping in
anyway they could to
make life more won,
thwhile for children.
This past winter they
worked with eight
couples from Willowdale
Presbyterian Church in
Toronto. Their work was
in a remote. city of 10,000,
in Mexico and while
there, they worked with
the Presbyterian
minister and his family
erecting a building for the
church to be used for the
families of the area,
particularly as a dining
room. The children of the
area spend an hoi4r`at the
church each morning
where they hear Bible
stories, sing and pray.
They are given a dinner
at noon. The new building.
It is planned that the
building project will be
continued and a room will
soon be available to teach
mothers sewing, cooking,
and ' proper health care
for their children. ,At
present, the women'of the
area meet for prayer and
Bible study.
Mrs. Kaitting thanked
Mrs. Needham for. her

Edward considered it a

The meeting closed
with a hymn sung at

Mrs. Ella Bogie.

Last week's letter from
C. F. Barney was sur-
prising to me, as a nurse,
in that he has found some
medical support for the
Witness position of
refusing to have a blood
transfusion. He neglects
to mention that, in 1980.,
all doctors recognize that
transfusions. are
::'someti-mesnecessary and
have saved thousands of
lives, though admittedly
there are some risks
which medical research
is trying to overcome.
Perhaps it is timely to
point out that doctors and
policemen see regularly
the harmful effects of
arraigned before Justice
of the Peace Jack Parker
and held in $250 bond
each.
Miss Oliff's divorced
husband, Clyde Wright of
Odessa, got an injunction
Wednesday restraining
„the family from in-
terfering with a tran-
sfusion.",
Think soberly on this
brief story for a moment
if you will and the horror
of this Watchtower
dogma cannot help but
grip you. Here were a
father and two brothers
so devoted to what the
Watchtower says the
Bible teaches, that they
were willing to sacrifice
the life of their own flesh
and blood on the
Russellite altar of
ignorance.
