Eating Blood v Transfusion . . . same thing?

by sizemik in

the wts ban on the transfusion of whole blood or primary components is established on a number of "principles" which when taken in their entirety give rise to the doctrine.. one important one is the refusal to distinguish between the consumption of blood by eating .

and the consumption of blood by surgically implanting it (transfusion).

we've all heard the "alcohol" analogy.

Knows nothing, bloodless unless it was an emergency.

I asked my mum about this,

If there was no such thing as transfusions when the bible was written, how do we know for sure it doesn't just mean eating blood is forbidden.

And if blood cries out to Jehovah when its spilled then why would me borrowing some blood to keep me alive be worse than my own blood being spilled in death?

All she came up with was that blood needs to return to the ground, (she didn't see that I'd only be borrowing it and when I died I'd give god his blood back) and then all the stock bullshit answers about how we don't need blood because there is so many alternatives that are way better all thanks to Jehovah's witnesses!

She could not or more likely would not see my logic.

I gave up and changed the subject.
