If one of Jehovah's Witnesses is transfused against his or her will, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that this constitutes a sin on the part of the individual. This position has not changed.
If one of Jehovah's Witnesses accepts a blood transfusion in a moment of weakness and then later regrets the action, this would be considered a serious matter. Spiritual assistance would be offered to help the person regain spiritual strength. This position has not changed.
If a baptized member of the faith willfully and without regret accepts blood transfusions, he indicates by his own actions that he no longer wishes to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The individual revokes his own membership by his own actions, rather than the congregation initiating this step.
TRANSLATION: IF A PERSON HAS ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THE BORG'S INTERPRETATION OF THE BIBLE THAT WOULD LEAD TO ANY OF THE ABOVE ACTIONS, THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISEASED AND NEED TO BE SEVERELY PUNISHED OR KILLED. IF IT WAS DONE AGAINST THEIR WILL, THEY MUST ALSO BE VIEWED WITH ALARM AS THEY ARE A POTENTIAL THREAT TO INFECT THE REST OF THE FLOCK SINCE BY BEING A VICTIM OF THE HEINOUS MEDICAL COMMUNITY, THEY ARE INFECTED NONETHELESS HAVING VIOLATED OUR INTERPRETATION OF GOD'S LAW AND RESTRICTIONS WILL BE APPLIED AS DETERMINED BY OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND/OR LOCAL BODY OF LOVING OVERSEERS.
GOD HAS COMMANDED THIS.
