  Phase 1 - Transfusions cause death, AIDS, hepatitis, infections, complications during surgery, blood rejection of the body etc etc etc....hundreds of negative articles convince you the blood is TOXIC POISON! Why would you want it. Although doctors tell you in an emergecy if you lose 4 litres you will die without one, and complications with blood are rare.

  Phase 2 - You can live forever in Paradise if you don't have one and die.

  Phase 3 - Many people have survived without one....it's over-rated. Many have made "miraculous" recoveries from near death after refusing blood.

  Phase 4 - Non-blood substitutes are just as good as blood. Volume expanders, drugs to increase red cells, improved surgery tecniques....all these things work just as well...some have commented that soldiers used Coconut milk Transfusions during the war! The truth is, without oxygen from the blood people will go into a Coma and die....sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly.

  Notice the Witness Blood brochure uses a great distraction method on it's readers : Title - "How can Blood SAVE your life?"

  Yes they use loaded and bias propaganda, one thing they never have stated was the fact that since the use of blood transfusions

  millions people lives were indeed saved, but that again would be telling " The Truth "

  Reminds me of a magic trick.....smoke, mirrors and slight of hand.

  Probability is everything. JWs are conditioned to believe that there is a greater probability a blood transfusion hurt rather than help. This is all done through sophisticated rhetoric that never discusses probability.

  If the WTS really wanted to make an honest case for its policites it would publish some statistics. Are JWs more or less likely to die because of their refusal to take transfusions? If JWs actually accepted transfusions what would be the ratio of failed procedures to sucessful ones?

  If the data was in their favor I'm sure they would publish it...

  New research to be published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has found that women who are Jehovah's witnesses face a significantly increased risk of death during childbirth. The study found that women in this group are six times more likely to die, and three times more likely to have morbidity (serious complications), than average (compared to the general Dutch population). This increase includes a 130 fold increased risk of death from major obstetric haemorrhage.

  They used to tell me Hemophiliacs are demonized because of the story of Prince Romanov and Rasputin....dubs say Rasputin was demonized.

  Demons infected Rasputin 100 years ago and then infected his patient. Then everyone subsequently born with the same genetic condition also contracts demon infection.

  Also Hemophilia literally means:

  hemo=blood

  philia=like or attract

  Therefore if you are a Hemophiliac you are attracted to blood. Vampires are attracted to blood. Vampires are demons. Therefore Hemophiliacs are demonized vampires.

  Take note of this. My demons are developing the technology to infect you all through the Internet. Beware.

  I have posted this before but I'll do so again. I am an RN. I have given many blood transfusions. I have never seen one cause a death. Blood donors are screened carefully for AIDS, hepatitis, and infections. I never gave a blood transfusion where this was an issue. There have been a few rare occurrences but new screening practices were put in placeto prevent these problems years ago.

  I don't know what non-blood substitutes are. I don't know what volume expanders are. These are not medical terms. I don't know what people are talking about when they post this.

  Blood transfusions save lives every day in hospitals around the world. If a doctor tells you that you need a blood transfusion you almost certainly do. They are not given for no reason.

  Certainly in the case of women hemorrhaging after childbirth they are the ONLY thing that can save the mother. Or if someone has had a traumatic injury such as a gunshot wound or stabbing or motor vehicle accident, a blood transfusion WILL save your life. There is no substitute.

  This blood transfusion crap is one of the BIGGEST LIES that the WTBTS uses to control their followers and create martyrs for the cult.

  I don't know what non-blood substitutes are. I don't know what volume expanders are.

  Ringer's Lactate mostly. I don't think I've heard of a real hospital using it, though I wouldn't really know. I remember hearing it in a TV show in the 70s (called "Emergency" I think).

  I believe at one point wts was suggesting people have saline infusions, based on their belief the bone marrow releases lots of extra red blood cells when hypovolemic, so all the body needs is fluid. As a child I was instructed to educate physicians about this. We had practice drills every so often to ensure my argumentation skills were intact. ROFL

  The RBC thing of course has *nothing* to do with clotting factor, which the elders refused to acknowledge.

  When the WTS talks about "volume expanders" they are referring to Ringer's Lactate or normal saline. Their goal in doing so is to prevent hypovolemic shock. What they ignore is the risk for hypoxia which is secondary to hyperdilution of the patient's blood.

  When a patient has a sudden sharp decrease in their red blood cell count, the body normally begins an acceleration in the process of erythropoeisis (red blood cell production). This has to do with adrenal hormone shifts. It's the same process which stimulated by drugs like Epotin.

  I've also administered many blood transfusions. Every patient who has received them is always, always, better off for having them. Maternity patients who - by way of going into a condition called DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) - would otherwise die 100% of the time from this medical emergency - are able to live a relatively normal life and raise their newborns thanks to blood transfusions. Many of these moms need to have their ENTIRE blood volume replaced several times over in order to save their lives.

  I've said this before, and I'll say it again: If it were MEN instead of women and children who were dying in childbirth for lack of blood transfusions, you'd see the WTS change its tune on blood transfusions in a heartbeat. I believe, in my heart of hearts, that this evil policy demonstrates more clearly than anything else how little value the lives of women and children have in the WTS.
