Do Jehovah’s Witnesses wear eyeglasses; and, if so, wouldn’t that be a tacit rejection of God’s plan for their lives? Would it not be more appropriate to simply go blind as God had intended them to?

The wearing of corrective lenses to spare one’s sight in contravention of God’s will and the rejection of blood transfusions which might otherwise save one’s life cannot be reconciled.

JWs are hypocrites.

Evolution will take care of this . Not a thing we can do w those in acute / trauma setting. Elderly or young or just Bcz of trauma / surgery , we are not allowed to transfuse . When u come to my ED w a hemoglobin of 5 or 6 and u refuse the only thing that will give u back your breathing , mental clarity , and in short your life , then I truly wish u take your behind back to your house and stay there . Instead of getting a bed in a busy trauma level 1 hospital where critical care is delivered and patients need every bed and every doc and nurse to survive .
All I can do for u is give u fluids and iron . Go home and pray to god . Sad for the kids . However , regardless if these kids will had be allowed to a transfusion , chances are , w these parents , the future looks attached to mental and psych care . ?

Do not blaspheme the Holy Jeans. Everyone knows that Levi's are the One True Jean.

Seriously though, voice recognition issues aside, I'm not a former JW but it's my observation that every sect has some socially awkward shibboleth to get you invested in so that it actually becomes more, rather than less, difficult to leave, because you have more personal wrongness to admit and own up to.

For the JWs it's placing yourself and your family in jeopardy with the deliberately obtuse interpretation of the OT prohibition against eating meat with blood in it. For Mormons, it's magic underwear and forced door-to-door proselytization, for the Old Order Amish it's funny beards and technological ludditeism and Rumspringa, etc. Even my relatively tame evangelical handlers would get you deeply invested in quasi-intellectual theological arguments that defined your personal identity.

Consider it thinning out the heard.

In high school 40 years ago I argued this with a JW. He talked about a JW doctor who was working on a blood substitute and how it would save millions. Hmmm. It ain't here yet, and millions aren't saved.
