    My wife had to take the shot. Thankfully, the elder she spoke to knew that this was a 'conscious matter' (meaning of course, you can do it). She had to get the shot for both her pregnancies and she had two beautiful baby girls.

    I found out I was Rh neg when I was pregnant with my second child. When I told the doctor I was a JW and could not allow a blood exchange for my baby, he told me he would get a court order to give my baby a blood

    exchange. I left his office and found a doctor in another town who would not go aganist my wishes. I was 19. My daughter was fine but from then on I was terrified to have another child. That was in 1963

    and the RhoGAM injection was not available then. My mother bled to death because she did not recieve a blood transfusion that could easily have saved her life.The WBTS is blood guilty and I agree with Ms Mercado's statement

    about their responsibility before God. I wonder if any of the GB has ever had a blood transfusion. I would not be surprised if they have.

    Our most basic goal as organisms is to reproduce. We will reproduce at any cost. It shows how strong the watchtower cult is if it can have an impact on people reproducing

    I had the shot and had two healthy babies. I didn't know about the potential "illegality" of the shot (if I'm understanding this issue correctly).

    I am not certain yet, but I am trying to find out if one of my relatives was not given an exchange transfusion. She was born RH +. If that is the case, her JW parents comdemed her to a life where she is heavily mentally handicaped. Ill let you know if I can find a clear answer.
