    short question:
    is it possible that JW are discourage from having small surgery like the removal of the tonsils?

    I'm not in the medical profession..but it seems to me, having grown up a JW, they are only leary of anything that might require a blood transfusion.

    For instance, I was diagnosed with kidney problems when I was 5 and they wanted to do alot of tests. That was fine, but when they said I needed a biopsy and a transfusion MIGHT be needed, the elders told us it would be wise to not have a biopsy done.

    I dont think they'd be against tonsils removed or anything of that nature...just something that might make you bleed alot and make them want to fill you up with blood!
