Hi, Pureheart
Most JWs have no idea that JW doctors can order (or administer) a blood transfusion if their patient needs the therapy and want it. There are several things that make this particularly ridiculous.
For instance, Watchtower apologists constantly throw out the idea that blood transfusion therapy is bad medicine.
Problem is: If blood transfusion therapy really is bad medicine then why would a JW doctor EVER order or administer one, as they are permitted to?
Another example is how Watchtower apologists constantly compare blood transfusion therapy with fornication by saying that abstaining from blood is morally as important as abstaining from fornication.
Problem is: If it’s okay to order or administer blood transfusion therapy then is it also okay if a JW therapist arranges a sexual liaison between unmarried consenting adults, if they want it? What’s the moral difference between the two? None, if we accept the “abstain from blood is as morally important as abstain from fornication” premise! So which is it, is abstain from blood the moral equal to abstain from fornication, or isn’t it?
In light of current Watchtower doctrine, a JW doctor who administers blood is the moral equivalent to a blood pimp!
Hey, since the Society teaches that blood transfusion carries such dire and practically unavoidable consequences, like HIV, that means these JW doctors would be pimping goods with the equivalent of STD!
