Aleman, you've just explained what white blood cells and albumin are, I already know what they are. What you haven't given me is a reason why one is acceptable and one is not - biblically OR medically - according to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Inc.
They are both components of blood, and albumin is a far larger component of blood. Why the distinction? Why should white blood cells NOT be allowed?
I gave you an example of a mother who is forbidden from giving a partial white blood cell transfusion to a leukemic or immunodeficient child, according to Watchtower dogma, whereas she naturally gave that same child numerous units of white blood cells when it was nursing.
Why are white blood cells not allowed?

Blood
by Aleman ini am getting away for a moment from congacs forum to talk about what i have reaserched about the blood topic.. blood is composed of a liquid called blood plasma and blood cells suspended within the plasma.
the blood cells present in blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.plasma is predominantly water containing dissolved proteins, salts and many other substances; and makes up about 55% of blood by volume.
by far the most abundant cells in blood are red blood cells.

You still haven't answered the question, I don't know if this is just because you lack the reading comprehension to grasp it so let me spell it out clearly and succinctly:
What is the MEDICAL or SCRIPTURAL basis for the society's current list of approved and non-approved blood fractions?
Why are white blood cells forbidden but albumin listed as acceptable?
The society is WRONG on this and people have DIED as a result but you defend this decision so I want to hear your reasoning. -

I'll ask it again, you pathetic coward: what scriptural basis is there for condemning the transfusion of white blood cells, which make up less than one percent of whole blood and occur in great quantities in breast milk, while allowing the use of albumin which makes up 2.2 percent of whole blood?
People have DIED because of this talmudic BULLSHIT crafted by a group of privileged old white men in Brooklyn for no valid scriptural or medical reason whatsoever! The only reason for the blood policy is PRIDE! Pride in being "different" from mainstream religions no matter the costs, even if it goes against the very principles of love and reason taught by Jesus.
I ask it again, answer me you COWARD! -

I'm still curious to see what your answer is on white blood cells. According to the society this is a banned fraction, but breast milk contains scads of the stuff. A mother can breastfeed her child one year but if it gets sick with leukemia or an immune disorder she wouldn't be allowed to give a partial transfusion of those same white blood cells. Where is the ****ING SENSE IN THAT!?
The whole fraction business is pharisaical and farcical in the extreme. What part of the bible details the scientific breakdown of blood into allowable and forbidden components?
And you're blind if you think Matthew 12 is a primarily a lesson about the sabbath, if that were the case then the whole chapter would be meaningless to Christians because they are no longer under the obligation to observe the sabbath. The POINT of the whole story was to show that love trumps hidebound observance of the letter of the law.
Dammit people like you get me angry, and I don't even believe in the bible! -
