"Botox, my main issue with the JWs is that they put organization and ritual ahead of love and compassion."

Yes I agree....mostly. I have found this to be a group largely devoid of Christian spontaneity and this is the MAIN reason I decided to leave it 30 years ago. Most of them, not all, seem to need constant meetings in order to sit and be told what to do and how to live. But again, they are living as people should and doing no one any harm other than what I'm saying below.

Also on the subject of blood transfusions I understand the reasons both religious and medical for this believe but I do NOT agree that parents can make this decision for minor children.

"for example, many children have died due to their belief system."

They don't go to war against each other like other professed Christians do. As a result others like the Catholics etc are guilty of mass murder over the years no matter which country they fought for. So, how many children have died do to churches of Christendom not living by the Bible which expressly commands true Christians to maintain neutrality?..millions? tens of millions? Consider world war 2 and the German "christians" and the Russian "christians". True Christians follow Christ, not Hitler or Stalin and don't kill their brothers in the faith.
