BLOOD What does the Bible really say?

yesidid

We have been reading about the medical-scientific pros and cons of blood transfusions but little has been said to refute what JW's
claim is the Bible teaching on the subject.

Ajwrb covers this very well. The pages below are very well written and completely demolish the WT teaching. Must read for anyone
interacting with JWs on the subject..

I had legal action taken by the State of Washington against me the State was going to give my little girl a transfusion against my wishes. Many years went by after this time I was the local hero for standing up for Jehovah against the State. At my book study a brother asked me why we can not auto transfuse our on blood becasue even the blood used for fractions coagulate before fractions are taken out.

Man I know right then he was correct. I went home in desperation; I was going to find out the answer. So into the den I went, I almost never ate for a week. (I own my own business so I can do this) After I was done I was sick because I almost let my little girl die for a policy that is not found in the bible and the worse part I know the Borg knows it. I have shown this to Five Elders all agreed after going over the information for a while with me that I am correct. One Elders has quit and has not went back to the meetings for over four years now, One Elder put his head between his legs and cried. One Elder has almost quit going to the meetings and his wife called and told me to never talk to her husband again. Since this information hit this area so hard two C.O.’s came to my house and before they left both agreed the bible does not teach the no blood policy. They would love to DF me but I only used the bible and the Society's publications to make my point. Beside to DF me because of blood after proving so faithful would have huge implications in the local area so they leave me alone. Anyone that wants the information please PM me and I'll sent it to you. No where that I can find on the NET even comes close to the information that I have.

To all the people that have asked for my information thanks it makes me feel like I might have done something nice to help people. I have had over fifty people in the last month ask for the information several were going to use it at their local Hospitals and serveral have asked if they could use it on thier web pages. I had a member by the name Sandy that had an intresting story I hope she makes a thread about her own life story. Maybe some day my daughter will be old enough to do the same.

Wow - Thanks, what an eye opener.

I'm going to ask this in the forum since I believe the answer is probably wanted by all anyway.

Have you ever gotten a response on this by the society?

I had a Elder from Seatle send the letter to the Society because I was to chicken after all the trouble here locally. They sent him a response that said please do not talk to others about this information. That was about it. No answer about the letter at all. I guess they could not answer the Letter.

yesidid,

The following link will take you to a fine article discussing the biblical perspective regarding blood in comparison with what the WTS teaches. It was written by former and current JWs, and it is based on information considered at a governing body session in 1999.

To me it was always common sense that if you can save a life without destroying or harming another life then there was nothing wrong with transfusions. If an animal dies and its life goes back to God that's another issue, a blood donor certainly has his life with him after willingly donating blood.
