    Mrs Nightwarrior here,

    I have to write a new post, but sort of in answer to the UK blood policy... I am SOOOOO angry.... i know that this involved the children.... but 10 years ago my lovely husband underwent major surgery, all done without blood.....he wrote us all letters in case anything 'bad' happened....he was left in the ward with other people telling him to take blood.....but he stood up for what he believed to be the correct way of thinking....I am not saying that he would change his way of thinking today, as we all know of the thigns that can go wrong with blood transfusions.....BUT.....the WTS are so busy changing policy... that people's lives are being played with....how many lives have the WTS destroyed by not allowing blood transfusions... I could cry....I have been brought up with these beliefs all my life, until recently... and boy this is one of the hardest ones to accept.. especially when you have been on the receiving end.... these people at WTS need a good kick up the back side...the WTS took away the freedom of choice for so long, and now with possible law suits being made against them. hey... now time for policy change...

    How come only the UK... what about all the other children around the world whose parents are being pressurised to stop blood...I could spit....

    Oh well that is me venting my spleen.. LOL... sorry for the outburst, but I just felt that I had to say something, it may sound a little disjointed, but hopefully you can all make sense of it!!

    I completely agree with you Mrs. Nightwarrior. Nothing upsets me more than seeing that Awake! magazine from 1994 with the photographs of 26 (out of how many are there??) children who died because of the blood issue. How can the Watchtower Society look at those faces and then read scriptures like the ones in Jeremiah 7:30, 31 and Jeremiah 19:4, 5 not believe that sacrificing the lives of children still 'does not come up into God's heart'?

    *** Rbi8 Jeremiah 7:30-31 *** 30 For the sons of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes, is the utterance of Jehovah. They have set their disgusting things in the house upon which my name has been called, in order to defile it. 31 And they have built the high places of To'pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin'nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.
    *** Rbi8 Jeremiah 19:4-5 *** 4 for the reason that they have left me and have proceeded to make this place unrecognizable and to make sacrificial smoke in it to other gods whom they had not known, they and their forefathers and the kings of Judah; and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent ones. 5 And they built the high places of the Ba'al in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Ba'al, something that I had not commanded or spoken of, and that had not come up into my heart.

    They will render an account for their errors. They have much bloodguilt for which to answer.

    Love, Scully
