    I wonder if this conversation could ever take place:

    JW: I don't want a blood transfusion.

    Doc: Why? it wil save your life, we don't have any other option.

    JW: It is against my religion, it is against the teachings in the bible.

    Doc: The Bible?

    JW: Yes, the Old Testament and the NT.

    Doc: Where in the Old testament, I am Jewish and my father is a rabbi scholar.

    JW: well....leviticus I think...

    Doc: Hmmm, in the OT the only mention of prohibition about blood is dietary restrictions and as atonment for taking the life of an animal, nothing about medical procedures.

    JW: Well, you don't seem to knwo the bible.

    Doc: Yeah, I guess not, I only spent my whole life reading it in the languare it was written and by teachers that wrote it, where did you learn to read hebrew?

    JW: What? ...er...I don't...

    Doc: Where did you study the bible? what school or university? do you have a degree in theology?

    JW: I was told that is what it said....

    Doc: By whom?

    JW: someone in the WT.

    Doc: what were their qualifications?

    JW: What?
