Jehovah's Witnesses employers sue for right to not pay for blood transfusion under health insurance.

That'd be ridiculous wouldn't it?

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His father, in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."

3. No drugs during childbirth!

Allowing religion to dictate health care. Fine let's carry that to the extreme. Christian Scientist employers shouldn't have to supply ANY health insurance then.

4. as long as other people "don't have to pay" for services the JW crowd wants, that's cool nt

5. No... no it's not.

Besides, which services would the JWs want to impose on the rest of us? Enlighten me please.

6. Note: Jehovah's Witnesses would NOT politicize this!

We've seen how the birth control issue has been politicized while Jehovah's Witnesses (JHs) would bypass politics and just take it to court to keep from breaking God's commands.

(In the New Testament, Paul tells Christians to continue to refrain from blood which JHs believe include blood transfusions. Also note that blood transfusions, while potentially life-saving, can cause other health issues. It's their choice.)

However, they might also recognize that this hypothetical rule does not force them to take blood transfusions and they might just leave it at that. Maybe sinful and false "christian" religions will take note from the true Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses.

7. The point was to point out the absurdity of what is happening.

So what if they don't agree with birth control.
