The point you bring out is what my conscience has told me for a very longtime .
When I was a Witness it always bothered me that in these articles they would say " A Christian's conscience would or should allow or not allow this or that... "ect. All the time I would think hey I am a Christian and that is NOT what MY conscience is saying to me .
Finally when it came to the blood fractions ,what was allowed and what was not ....It just clicked with me how this was all so wrong .
Like you said above ....A transfusion is not taking the life from someone ,that person donated a small portion and is fine . The taking of a transfusion is for saving a life,and isn't that honoring the sacredness in life right there ?
The oppression ,by the Watchtower Society , of the individuals right to think for themselves, and act on their own accord is irreprehensible .
