  Hello, my wife told me last evening she had watched a DVD on blood that was given to her by the gal she is studying with. I saw it briefly laying on the table, it was produced by the WTS, believe it was from sometime around 2005 and was in a few different languages.

  Last evening she commented on how many options there are in addition to blood transfusions that people can take, including a massive blood loss. I asked her if some of these options involved fractions and she said she really did not know.

  Has anyone here seen this DVD (sorry for the sketchy information) and if so is there a summary available on what it presents...would love to have some good questions for her on this that could point to some issues with the doctrine.

  Thanks....will try to get the DVD title.

  Transfusion Alternatives—Documentary Series is what I think it is....

  I have got a D V D cover here. The title is "Transfusion Alternatives, Documentary Series"

  I reckon that Sister Blues has the disc elsewhere with her W T stuff. The Borg have produced more than one disc on the subject. I believe that this one may have been produced for the medical profession and was rather technical.

  I do not think that the content said anything much more than was in the Lit. It just showed it all in colour...

  Yep, that is the one......not sure when I will get a chance to watch it....my wife said it was really technical, but I believe it ignored the situations where transfusions are critical, did not address how fractions are derived and merely spoke of bloodless alternatives for surgeries....

  Yep.....here's the Q&A from the February 2009 Kingdom Ministry that mentions the video...........Of course, the whole damn thing is confusing as hell which is exactly how they want to keep it.

  The fact is that blood transfusions are becoming an obsolete medical technology and the JWs medical doctrine is becoming obsolete right along with it. Opposition to blood transfusion will soon be like opposition to the practice of bleeding as a medical treatment; >duh<!

  I know a person who had open heart surgery for repair of a mitral valve. This person put away two pints of his own blood in the event a transfusion might be necessary (this is called an autologous transfusion). The hospital was happy to comply and charged his insurance company $500 for the removal and storage of the blood. Not a drop of blood was needed during the surgery, and the stored blood was disposed of as medical waste.

  Another associate had brain surgery for removal of a benign brain tumor (meningioma). Not a drop of blood was used during the operation.

  Blood is required in cases of catastrophic blood loss due to accident. Normal surgical procedures seldom require it, and not because of any imaginary contribution to medical science made by the god of The WATCHTOWER.

  Medical science is evolving, and evolution does not require the intervention of a mystical outside prime mover.

  Maybe it is time for the WTB&TS to take a firm stand in opposition of artificial and "grown" body parts...try to get themselves back to opposing the leading edge of the technology wave.
