According to the Blood Donor Center at SRMC, “Keeping it local is what it all about! Sampson Regional Medical Center is one of only three hospitals in North Carolina that collect their own blood. That is great for patients in need because it in turn reduces the cost of blood. Blood donations that are collected by Sampson Regional Medical Center in Sampson County and surrounding areas are kept local to be used for patients who you may know! Other blood collection agencies that set up blood drives collect and then leave the area taking all of their donations with them.

JW Simmons next asks Dr. Watts if the issue is one of core values, and if so, which of the core values We Should Know . . . are weak. Watts, explains, “We’re living in a society that’s probably been predicated by previous cycles similarly.”

“You can go back to the time of Judges where we were making laws that were constantly changing with the morality of the times. So, by definition what we’re living in right now is moral relativism, meaning we don’t declare things a sin anymore. We don’t declare things as specifically right or wrong anymore.”

“We now have politicization of right and wrong,” states Watts. “And should politics be determining that. In my opinion there are moral absolutes in this world. And if we don’t follow those absolutes then we’re going to see the dissolving of society as we know it.”

“Social anarchy, we might think, is a long way away from where we’re at, but we’ve already seen social anarchy in different spots rising up in individual areas. But increasingly in higher numbers. We’re seeing mass killings in numbers that we’ve never seen in history.”

“Why don’t we define right and wrong anymore?” asks Watts. “Are we afraid of right and wrong. Are pastors afraid of speaking the truth? Are politicians. Are our city and municipal leaders afraid of Dr. Watts and Wayne Weeks with JW Simmons, Host of We Should Know speaking the truth?”

You don’t have to listen for an hour, to not know what he said, because he’s going to put it in plain and simple terms in front of you.” Dr. Watts replies, “Well, it came from just monitoring the life around me. When I saw that we had churches dividing. Common interests became separated to personal interest. And we see wars and “Well,” says Watts. “I kind of admire that quality honestly because he’s baring all.

And that’s just in a four-county region.” Are we going to live a life of moral relativism where everything crashing down before us was wrong yesterday, but all of a sudden its ok and acceptable today?” “So,” asks Dr. Watts, “when you’re seeing this kind of dissolution, why is it happening?” Dr. Watts explains that to do nothing for fear of upsetting the apple cart is pointless if there’s a rotten “Why is moral structure changing?
