Would you say yes to a blood transfusion?

I would like to get some honest answers about your position on blood transfusion. As we get older, sooner or later we wind up in the hospital and the question they always ask is"...in the event.. would you accept blood?" Faced with that question, I answered no. I don't want to die either though. How do you feel? What do you think? How do you stand? Appreciate very much your views.

Fisherman, I sent you a PM

I don't mind giving blood, since JW's need blood fractions. I'm glad to help them out.

I'd take blood but I crossed fish off the menu.

To me, it's like asking if I would wear an oxygen mask if I needed to. I wouldn't give it a second thought. JW's would have you believe that doctors are running around giving people blood transfusions for no reason, and on top of that, Satan will deliberately make sure that any JW who does take blood will get tainted blood and will die anyway, on top of having pissed of the "Great and Powerful OZ Jah.

very bloody surgery....needed four pints...this after they had postponed the second stage of the surgery for six days to get my blood and other vitals back up

Yes

Great question. For me it is the "final frontier" in breaking myself from JW dogma. I really couldn't answer that for myself until I am in that situation. Were it my wife or someone else close to me and I thought it could save their life, yes, yes and YES. I don't know why this is the one thing that pricks me in the back of my brain. It's something wholly constructed by that opportunistic, homophobic, misogynistic zealot Paul who completely negated Jesus fulfilling the law and reinstituted a Pharisaic structure to worship with a Hellenistic spin. I'm sure I've had enough rare steaks in my life to completely damn me forever by the WTBS. Sorry for the rant.... don't know why I still have an issue with this.

I've said, "Yes," 5 times during surgeries. Never need it tho'.

My Mom said, "No," once...and she died... smothering to death in a fine capable hospital by WT beliefs.
