Well, yes, of course, Mr. Simon, there is never a thing such as a "sure thing." But, here is something to think about: Being an Amateur Radio Operator, over the years, I would buy magazines that are "geared" to Amateur Radio. And, one such magazine is "73 Amateur Radio Today." The Publisher of that magazine was Mr. Wayne Green, who had the call sign of W2NSD. And, each month, he would write a column called "Never Say Die." In the March 2001 issue of that magazine, he had a sub-topic titled "Transfusions."
Now, to the best of my knowledge, Mr. Green was never a Jehovah's Witness while he was alive. But, in that column, he wrote this: "Doctors are doing millions of blood transfusions every year, and I'll bet you're completely convinced that this is a good, life-saving procedure. My advice? Do everything you can to avoid one!
"I used to work in an office on 43rd Street in Manhattan. On the floor below our publishing offices was a blood bank, so I got a good look at their clientele over the five years I worked there---it was mostly homeless winos, getting enough money for another bottle of the cheapest wine they could find.
"As I've mentioned , every cell in your body, and that includes every cell in your blood, is in constant contact with every other cell, even when separated from you by thousands of miles. When you get a transfusion of someone else's blood, you're getting a part of them integrated into your mind/body system, and not just your body. You'll also get a good collection of any poisons they were carrying around, such as alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and any other drugs, viruses, microbes, parasites, fungi or yeasts in their blood. And maybe some toxic metals, too.
"If you think I'm exaggerating, you haven't bothered to read The Secret Life of Your Cells yet. I've reviewed it in my editorial, and in my Secret Guide to Wisdom. Even though the new blood is the same type as yours, it is from another person and your immune system will get busy eliminating the invader. That's just what you need at a time when you need all of the strength your immune system can muster to help you recover from whatever caused the doctors to give you the transfusion.
" If you have made any effort to develop your psychic ability, once you've had a transfusion you'll be able to pick up many of the thoughts and feelings of the person from whom you've received the blood. One woman wrote a book about an organ transplant where she was able to sense the name of the donor and feel his feelings. And, thousands of people have reported weird things resulting from blood transfusions. A recent lab test with cells from an athlete's heart beat exactly in pace with his heart as he walked and ran, even though he was miles away."
So, those are the thoughts/words from Wayne Green, W2NSD, the Publisher of 73 Amateur Radio Today, who, as I mentioned, was NOT a Witness, as far as I know. Just something to think about.---Best Regards....
Titch.
