Kobe should ask the doctors to split the platelets in half and then glue them back together again after the transfusion. That way you don't take in components, just fractions.

Lakers Kobe Bryant -- blood procedure puts him at DF risk?
by FatFreek 2005 init may be a month old news but we're just hearing it.
citing four unidentified sources familiar with the situation, the los angeles times on friday reported that the lakers superstar had a procedure about a month ago that is a derivation of platelet-rich plasma therapy.
prp procedures are less invasive than many surgeries involving the knee.

Junebug, please try to study how this religion handles women and try to research the headship arrangement. Women are second class citizens in the religion. Your husband will probably become more authoritarian as he slowly becomes more indoctrinated. The most a wife can do in a marriage according to JWs is come up with suggestions which the husband decides to follow yes or no. That's all wives are allowed to do when it comes to anything in the family like raising children or even deciding how to dress. He may now say that he will allow blood transfusions, but when push comes to shove, he will believe he is the rightful ruler of his family and will probably not respect your opinion on the matter.
Anything he says now can change once he becomes more and more into the religion.
Please try and understand that this is not like mainstream religions, it's a dangerous mind control cult. Your husband is under tight control, control through fear, control through peer pressure etc. etc. He will change his personality, and you will see the old 'him' disappear and soon you will only see his cult personality.
One thing that might help is to study cults with your husband and see how cults operate and then draw parallels to how the watchtower society operates. It may help him to wake up.

The usual excuses:
1) We're not a cult, we're too big
2) We're not a cult, because we're based on the bible, and everybody knows there are no cults based on the bible
3) We're not a cult, because we are not following a single charismatic leader
4) We're not a cult, because we don't close our followers off from the real world

Could a Cult personality be someone's Authentic Personality
by cantleave inwe all know theory, that a cult personality masks the authentic.
but after reading some of the cult indoctrinated posters here , i am beginning to think that they are showing their authentic personalities.. they don't appear to show any true human emotion or demonstrate any independant thinking ability, ony what they are told feel and think by the cult.
is it possible that some people are born to be cult members in order to survive?.

I think you could better describe it as someone who feels comfortable being in a cult.. there are those who like giving direction, and they need a cult to supply them with the types that like getting direction. Even though it's comfortable, I think everyone would be better off to make their own decisions as free persons because that's the only way you can learn and improve yourself.

Here's how you can avoid to become a false teacher: don't teach. Also fits in with the whole don't call yourself a rabbi and be humble message of Jesus.
Here's what's not humble: Building a multi-billion publishing company that blankets the world with magazines telling people what "ripe christians" can and cannot do.

Watchtower Puzzle Spirit-Directed vs Inspired
by FatFreek 2005 inwatchtower puzzle spirit-directed vs inspired.
scan your bible and you probably won't find the term spirit-directed.
i searched for that term online and could not find a dictionary that defines it.

Being spirit directed is like being inspired but without any of the drawbacks like having responsibility for what you say. Now here's another one to throw into the mix: spirit-appointed. It's when you can appoint child molesters as elders and then say "Yes but God appointed him as an elder so that his sin would not stay uncovered. " It's right up there with the "God needed an extra angel, so that's why your baby sister died" excuse.
