  Mim - Regrettably I would have died for the BORG without hesitation. I would have refuse a blood transfusion for me or my family. In fact the few times that my wife was in the hospital, one of the first things out of my mouth was "I will not accept blood under any circumstances, it's a non negotiable stance." I would have consider any trial or tribulation as an honor for the BORG. Yes, I was hooked and thoroughly brainwashed. :-/ That's why the pain was so deep for me when I realize I was being lead astray, b/c I was ready to die or sacrifice my family for an illusion - and the shit almost happen. Whew - A tough road to go down.

  Peace - LL

  That's why I stopped carrying my blood card 3 years plus ago.

  minimus, do you have family members that are JWs that would make the decison for you if you were unconscious? Put's the responsibility on them, doesn't it? Have you told your personal physician how you feel?

  Thank GOD my wife was never a 'hovah. My kids wouldn't have had to face death because of my then wacked out 'hovah beliefs.

  When push came to shove, I would do nothing for the WTS.
