having only been a witness for about 30 years i'm not really sure about the answer.
i would say 'yes' but does anyone know further.. i'm aware of the 'mediator only for the 144,00', but am i correct in saying the wts agrees, and by default all witnesses agree, that jesus died for their sins?.

Hi
Welcome
''So we decided to fade which lasted one more meeting.''
A very efficient fade if I may say so

question- ''why don't jehovah's witnesses have blood transfusions?''.
answer - ''we do have blood transfusions as long as it has been donated by non-witnesses and split into parts that we call fractions.

while looking up whether jw nurses are allowed to administer blood transfusions i found this little gem from.
watchtower 15th november 1964 page 681 .
''the use of blood in adhesives for manufacturing plywood and other commonly used materials has now come to the attention of christians, and we use plywood as an example.. much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.. a christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience.

Much plywood is made using blood glue, but some plywood is blood-free.
A Christian purchaser or contractor may seek to obtain blood-free plywood if he can do so; however, if he decides to use all types of plywood, it must be left to his conscience. It is not always possible to determine just how the plywood has been made.
Because blood may be used in some plywood, this does not mean that a Christian could not buy, sell or rent a home or purchase a trailer in which plywood is found. The extent to which he would check on such matters is for him to decide.''
Well that's must have been a relief to know. Thank you Watchtower.
have the watchtower society said/printed that witnesses who are medical staff are not allowed to participate in the blood transfusion process?
.
surely they would not showing proper respect for blood and would that be a disfellowshipping offence?.

the jw's, including myself when in, seemed proud to make the point that collection plates are not passed around at the hall.. instead there are boxes at the back of the kingdom hall and in various locations at assembly halls for contributions.. plus the service meeting items detailing how else to contribute.. as far as i'm aware the catholic church passes a plate along the aisles.
but do other churches?.
are the witnesses correct to use this as a unique selling point?.

Certainly a happier ending than I thought was coming up after reading Part II.
Thank you for posting.

Blondie,
thank you for your help. I do try searching first, both on the CD-rom 2003 and here, so as not to take up others' time but you seem to be so much better at it than me. Or anyone else it seems.
Thanks
