  I told the elders that I would take blood and donate blood

  by Daniel1555 in

  i found it important to be honest with my wife.

  so i told her about my conscience decision that in a medical urgency i want blodless medicine but if a transfusion of blood or the 4 prohibited components is necessary to save my life or health i would accept it.

  this would apply especially also for our child (that is not such a problem as in our country the wts recommends to comply with doctors as they have the right to decide concerning minors).. i showed her the reasons why i came to that conscience decision (biblical and logical reasons) and that jehovah and jesus do not like anyone to die because of this wrong bible application.. .

  Interesting thread Daniel. If I'm right, you are are also a swiss.

  I would also accept blood if my life would depend on it. This was acutally the first issue I deeply researched and that woke me up 2 years ago. I just stopped attending from one week to the other and almost never returned. It was hard for my wife, but she accepted it. I also stopped talking to the eldubs as I figured that they were just (in)questioning me and did not offer any real help for any question. So no point in talking to them if real questions are not allowed - I can read WTLib on my own.

  I expect you to be dissacotiated by expressing other belives but it may depend on your eldubs. Let us know what happens.

  Regards, Mark.

  The FIRST Memorial I’ve missed in 41 years…

  last year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.

  the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.

  afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

  31 things each and every Jehovah's Witness NEEDS TO KNOW right now!!

  things for jehovah's witnesses to think hard about.. .

  1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.

  that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.
