1. I figure if I am going to accept a blood transfusion, I should donate if I am physically able.

I've found in speaking to ex Witnesses that accepting AND donating blood are the two cult dogmas that are the last that are released.
Quill, then whenever they decide to accept blood transfusions and they are healthy, they should donate. I would consider also if you decide to have children receive them too.

More than that, Blondie.... if a JW is prepared to accept blood fractions, then they should logically be donating blood.
As far as I know (and you're the Queen of Quotes, so quotes are welcome on this topic!!) JW's are not permitted to donate blood. I believe it is until today a disfellowshipping offense.
I plan to very soon, its the good vs evil.

"The Bible commands Christians to "abstain from . . . blood." (Acts 15:20) Thus, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or the four primary components of blood—namely, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. They also do not donate or store their own blood for transfusion." Kingdom Ministry Nov 2006 p.3
For Immediate Release
September 19, 2000
The October 15, 2000, issue of The Watchtower, the main religious journal of Jehovah’s Witnesses, contains a brief article reviewing their beliefs about medical procedures using one’s own blood.
The article reaffirms the basic position of Jehovah’s Witnesses toward blood transfusions and predonation of blood. It also discusses hemodilution and cell salvage, as well as newer techniques such as tagging blood or using components of blood elsewhere on one’s own body.
Jehovah’s Witnesses do not accept blood transfusions; nor do they donate their own blood prior to surgery, a position that they have held for nearly four decades.
When it comes to hemodilution, cell salvage, or other procedures such as withdrawing blood to tag it or mix it with medicine and returning it to the patient, the article states that “a Christian must decide for himself how his own blood will be handled in the course of a surgical procedure, medical test, or current therapy.”
Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions based on the Bible command found at Acts 15:20 and elsewhere to “abstain . . . from blood.” Procedures such as hemodilution and cell salvage have been discussed in the publications of Jehovah’s Witnesses and elsewhere for nearly two decades. See for example, The Journal of the American Medical Association, November 27, 1981, pages 2471-2.

Not unless I get paid,
Most of the blood donated in the UK is sold abroad.
