- Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Transfusion
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.
