Very important Jehovah's Witness question

[shemp]

If a Jehovah's Witness became a vampire, would he starve to death?

Shemp, I'd just like to point out that you are my Hero.

If a Jehovah's Witness became a vampire, would he starve to death? Given popular vampire mythology, the answer is no.
1. If the Jehovah's witness voluntary became a vampire then they are already outside the bounds of their church and thus damned, so one more sin wouldn't matter.
2. If the transformation was involuntary, the soul of the Jehovah's Witness fled the body upon 'death' and what would be animating the body would disregard the Jehovah's prior religious taboos.

JW's do not believe that the soul is a separate entity, but that the soul is essentially the body, or the person.

I doubt the JW vamp would starve. After all, bleeding people dry is one of the primary aims of most religious institutions.

I look at thier publications and wonder why all JW's don't starve.

Suppose a JW became a vampire, what then?

Suppose a JW became a televangelist? Oh, you mean the other kind of bloodsucking leeches...

While I personally have never experienced the joy of a JW visitation, I imagine that if there were such creature as vampires, JW's would not hesitate to visit them. So I'm sure there must be some historical examples of this if one is simply willing to do the research.

Scene: Interior castle.

Igor: Master, I've released the hounds; the moat is full and the crocodiles are hungry. I have raised the drawbridge and bolted all of the doors.

sfx: doorbell.

Dracula: D*mn!!!!!! Jehovah's Witnesses again. Quick - extinguish the torches and pretend we're not home.

PS The question presupposes that you could get a vampire to bite one -- untenable.
