We are all God's creation, one family on earth (Acts 17:24-29). Life is in the blood, and he is the life-giver. He sent his one and only Son to earth to die for the world of mankind, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Can this be rationalized with the Watch Tower's depiction of God, as one who enjoys seeing a believer die, for refusing medical treatment involving the transfusion of blood? I do not hesitate to suggest that God finds such human sacrifices, committed on the Brooklyn altar of the Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, offensive and contemptible.
The human race is one family. All blood belongs to the Creator, as all life belongs to him. The misapplied Scriptures used by the WTS refer to animal blood. If they are to insist on using these few verses and applying them to human transfusions, then the proper application is that which prohibits the infusion of animal blood into humans. Our Creator would no more object to a blood transfusion to save the life of one of his creatures, than he would object to the breath of life being force-breathed by a paramedic into the mouth of a drowning victim. All breath belongs to him also. it is simply one of his human creatures, using an element of God-given life, trying to save the life of another. The human blood in a transfusion does not, nor did it ever, represent the sacrificed blood of Jesus. (Excerpt from the 4 Presidents of the WTS)
