I still cry over dogs lost 30 years ago. But I am practical on how much money and emotion can be spent.

I know how you feel. I've put down 3 dogs over the last 40 years. My German short-haired pointer, Bounder, my brave boxer Brutus, and last, my wonderful Rottie, Thor. My kids have fond memories of all three and now have their own dogs...Pitties, Chihuahua and a British bulldog.
We are a dog family and none of us would refuse a transfusion to save their lives.

if you permit your dog to be given a blood transfusion--it will probably be disfellowshipped. -

No, it will look at you with those big sad eyes and you can judge it to be repentant.

Atlantis - QFR - The Bible is very clear in showing that blood should not be eaten.
Such loaded language those scum suckers use.
Let's be fair. If you ask the WBT$ anything except, 'can I give you money and goods?' or 'should we protect and hide child abusers?'. Their answer is usually, 'No!'

punkofnice:
"scum suckers"....You said it! Especially when they printed this in their 1945 Consolation.
Vertroosting (Dutch Consolation), September 1945,
blz. 29 Dutch:
"Wanneer wij ons leven verliezen,
doordat wij weigeren, inspuitingen te laten maken,
dient zulks niet tot een getuigenis,
ter rechtvaardiging van Jehovah`s Naam.
God heeft nooit bepalingen uitgevaardigd
die het gebruik van medicijnen, inspuitingen
of bloedtransfusie verbiedt."
Het is een uitvinding van menschen ,
die gelijk de Farizeeën Jehova's barmhartigheid
en liefde buiten beschouwing laten.
Jehova te dienen met geheel ons verstand beteekent
niet ons verstand uit te schakelen; vooral dan niet,
als het om een menschenleven gaat,
dat Jehova toegewijd en daarom heilig is".
English translation:
“When we lose our life, because we refuse inoculations,
that does not bear witness as a justification of Jehovah’s name.
God never issued regulations which prohibit the use of drugs, inoculations or blood transfusions.
It is an invention of people, who, like the Pharisees, leave Jehovah’s mercy and love aside. Jehovah to serve with all our reason, doesn't mean not to disconnect our reason in especially when it concerns a human life that is devoted to Jehovah and therefore it is holy."If anyone wants that Dutch Consolation just let me know.Atlantis! -

Ha there young man! You are always welcome! Say, I am starving! Let's have some fried chicken and mashed potatoes and stuff. I'll whip out some salad makings and we can watch "Grumpy Old Men" on the tube.
Atlantis!
