  Does McFree need financial help to offset his legal fees?

  Thanks Guys, That is exactly what this JW I am dealing with needs to fathom. I can't believe the level of indoctrination needed for someone to believe that blood transfusions never saved anyone.

  TD - In another thread on Blood, you mentioned a particular operation that required many units of blood to complete. I was trying to locate that thread, but so far have not had success.

  Thanks guys. That is indeed close Ding. DofC, I checked it out and you were right. Thanks!

  "Jehovah's witnesses do not argue that blood transfusions have not kept alive patients who otherwise might have died. We do not take it upon ourselves to conduct an objective debate of the advisability of the use of blood in medical therapy. The point is not for us to determine. God himself has ruled on the matter, and it would be presumptuous for us, in the name of medicine or humanitarianism or anything else, to open the issue to debate, to pit human wisdom and experience against the law of God....Although Jehovah's witnesses will not eat blood as a food, nor in medical use consent to any kind of blood transfusion or, in place of it, an infusion of any blood fraction or blood substance, this does not rule out all medical treatment."

  Blood, Medicine and the Law of God (1961) pp.38,39
