NoIs it true the jehovah witness dont have to give DNA samples?
LOL, you were watching Law %26amp; Order SVU, my favorite show. I've seen that episode and still roll my eyes at that scene.

Report Abuse



Wow, um, firstly, getting a DNA sample isn't against our beliefs, certainly not through a mouth swab.





That said, even if his religious beliefs said no, I highly doubt that would be a stopping point in a rape trial.





NONE of this story makes sense, hopefully you misunderstood it, if not, presuming you aren't making this up, then the show was just jerking the audience around.





I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah makes it clear that blood should not be taken into another persons body by eating or any other means...even if we *think it can save our life [temporarily of course - either a meal or a transfusion] Only one person's blood is life-saving, Jesus own perfect sinless blood.





Considering all the scriptures on blood,


Each witness of Jehovah makes a PERSONAL decision on whether or not he will allow his blood to be tested for medical reasons. Most witnesses are sensible people who want to prolong their life as long as possible, to be able to Glorify our God, Jehovah - but we will not laugh in the face of or ';invalidate'; Jesus' sacrifice of blood for us by trying to take our life in our own hands, so to speak.


If a DNA sample is needed, saliva and hair always provide those, but I have never known a brother or sister to refuse to give a DNA blood sample for testing - most usually we can be assured that the blood will then be disposed of properly and in accord with the scriptures.


*IF a Christian has a good reason to suspect that his blood will be used improperly or not disposed of properly, he might refuse. But, what happens to his blood when it leaves his body is technically, out of his hands *as long as he has taken *reasonable* steps to ensure proper use and disposal.


Generally, we don't worry about what happens to our blood samples - we try to talk to doctors and lab staff and educate ourselves.


Jehovah expects us to be reasonable...not to stalk our blood samples all the way to the inferno or land-fill!
That is utter nonsense!


Jehovahs Witnesses are known to obey the authorities as long as it does no conflict with what they are taught in the Bible.


Of course he would give a sample of his spit - even a sample of his blood


I very much doubt it if a witness would commit a rape.
This was an episode of ';Law and Order';. Utterly fictional and incorrect. Jehovah's Witnesses would have no biblical reason not to give DNA.
Anyone regardless of religious preference can deny to give DNA without a court order.





Is there anything linking JW doctrine to refusal.....no.
I know they won't give blood, but they could get a DNA from the rim of a cup that he drank from. I don't think a swab would be against their religion that's whacked.
I haven't heard this one before.


No, it is not true. Don't believe everything you see on TV.
WOW! The stories get more %26amp; more crazy as time goes on. I haven't heard that before. That is so far from the truth, it's almost funny.
False.





Weren't you told never to believe everything you saw on TV?
LOL.....sorry that was funny!





No that is not true -- the writers of the show are pulling your leg.
