I hadn't been on all day. I am simply heartbroken for you! I wish there were more we could do. It's a terrible thing to do this to you without even telling you....

Oompa, I was so relieved to see you recovering from that accident. It's great that you had already seen through the religion and told your wife you would take blood to save your life. You could have died, man!
Your medical information is supposed to be private. Jeez!!

Sorry to hear this, Oompa. The good thing is, you're still alive.

I quit!
I'm sorry you are having to go through this with these idiots. Seven days to appeal their decision. Where do these morons come up with this crap. Certainly not from anything Christ taught. These guys are dangerously stupid. I wish there was something that could be done to wake them up so that they would realize what a bunch of melicious buttheads they are. But that isn't going to happen so all you can do is try to find ways to deal with the damage they cause. You are well like on this forum and if we could change things for you we would but we can't so all we can do is offer you our support in dealing with the situation.

Eric,
Subconciously, if not conciously, you have been asking for this for a long time. Suck it up, take it like a man, and move on. The drinking, the womanizing, the apostasy, a d infinitum . You dodged a few bullets due to being a 4th gen JW, from a family of JW royalty. It didn't last forever.
Somehow you thought it would. Are you nieve, or just in your own bubble? I really hope you can get your shit together, and make a life.
Wishing you the best for the future,
JK

What do you want to do Oompa? Ultimately it's up to you on what you want to do, if you let this one ride then you can rest assured if they tried this hard to get you out of the org they won't be bugging you to come back. However if you feel the need to still be considered in good standing then I'd say appeal it.
You can push the line and ask to meet with them and tell them "I did not receive a whole blood transfusion I only received a blood fraction", if they ask what type you can tell them "I received red blood cells initially and then hemoglobin following that." If they press that a red blood cell transfusion could not be taken you could tell them, "It was explained to my wife by the doctor that the only difference between hemoglobin and a mature red blood cell is a cell membrane and that all the cell membrane being in tact helps with is a type of blood poisoning. My wife couldn't see the harm in my receiving red blood cells since the only difference was a cell membrane. So are you saying that you're going to disfellowship me over a cell membrane?"
That's if you want to push the line, if you don't you can always just plead ignorance. "My wife wasn't on the scene and my wallet along with my cell phone were destroyed in the crash. The doctors did what they could before my wife arrived to say I only was supposed to receive fractions. I don't know what they treated me with before-hand and quite frankly it was the least of my worries."
I don't really know what I'd do in your situation since I'm an anti-authority, prove-people-wrong type person. I think it would probably be easier to just let it go. I'll tell you though, having it on tape elders saying someone is disfellowshipped over a cell membrane would be one of the more damaging things in history to have online.

So sorry to read this OOMPA - its disgraceful, it really is. I'd threaten legal action and go public just to teach em a lesson, if it was me. Get well soon though....dont let this hinder your recovery if you can help it.
