Marcial:
Thank you for your comments and well prepared research. I have had JW's write to us and remark how they would travel to a different state and have a blood transfusion.
Some would pay to have a loved one moved to an area where they are not known as JW's and receive a blood transfusion with no regrets at all.
After all, the Tower allows for the "anointed" to get a blood transfusion and they are not disfellowshipped.
Anyone wanting proof of that just let me know and I'll grab you a link and a Cappuccino! Let me know if you want whipped cream with that!
Atlantis!
