» DannyHaszard - Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Transfusion

Jehovah's Witnesses elders will investigate and disfellowship any Jehovah Witness who takes a blood transfusion,to say the issue is a 'personal conscience matter' is subterfuge to keep the Watchtower out of lawsuits.

Many Jehovah's Witnesses men,women and children die every year worldwide due to blood transfusion ban.Rank & file Jehovah's Witness are indoctrinated to be scared to death of blood.

FYI
1) JW's DO USE many parts aka 'fractions' aka components of blood,so if it's 'sacred' to God why the hypocritical contradiction flip-flop?

2) They USE blood collections that are donated by Red cross and others but don't donate back,more hypocrisy.

3) The Watchtower promotes and praises bloodless elective surgeries,this is a great advancement indeed.BUT it's no good to me if I am bleeding to death from a car crash and lose half my blood volume and need EMERGENCY blood transfusion.

Know this,the reason that JW refuse blood is because of their spin on the 3000 year old Biblical old testament,modern medicine will eventually make blood donations and transfusions a thing of the past.When this technology happens it won't vindicate the Jehovah's Witnesses and all the deaths that have occured so far.
The Watchtower's rules against blood transfusions will eventually be abolished (very gradually to reduce wrongful death lawsuit liability) even now most of the blood 'components' are allowed.
In 20 years there will be artificial blood and the Red Cross will go on with other noble deeds.

None of these changes will absolve the Watchtower leaders or vindicate their twisted doctrines

I had a shirt tail relative that died because he wouldn't see a doctor. But, he had a Christian Science Reader treat him. He gradually deteriorated and died. His disease would have been easily treated.

In response to Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Transfusion posted by DannyHaszard:

I think that a lot of religion is filled with hypocrisy - but maybe that's the people rather than the religion itself.

I've heard that some JWs will take parts of blood and maybe the best way forward for them is the development of some sort of synthetic blood.

I've also heard about indoctrination by the JWs and how they can live by rules and regulations, but aren't all religions split by different interpretations?

I know that their view of blood transfusions isn't what I think as a Christian and I don't feel it's what God wants either. But maybe it's a matter of Biblical interpretations.

Do we have the right to tell someone else how to live, even if we think they live wrongly? I don't know even though I know there's no way I could live the way JWs do with blood transfusions.
