text: more information regarding jehovah's witnesses please? before i ask my questions i want to stress that i hope not to offend any existing jw's who will take the time to read this and help me better understand. (1)i would like the issue of not accepting blood transfusions explained to me since i just don't understand it and why if that was the only option available left to save your child (for example) that you would be willing to let him/her die. (2) if someone who used to be a jw decides to leave the religion, and you see them on the street or in the grocery store, etc, etc, why are you not permitted to acknowledge them or speak with them? why do you go on as if they were dead? (3) if a former jw who left the religion dies, why do his/her jw family members not attend the funeral? (4) and why do jw's ring on people's doors so early in the mornings? i realize they don't always ring this early, but many times it really is annoying. don't you think that only hurts in your attempt to potentially convert someone? thank you for your replies. call me and i can explain to you everything you need to know about jehavah's witnesses
