Some persons may reason that getting a blood transfusion is not actually eating. But is it not true that when a patient is unable to eat through his mouth, doctors often feed him by the same method in which a blood transfusion is administered? Examine the scriptures carefully and notice that they tell us to keep free from blood and to abstain from blood. (Acts 15:20, 29) What does this mean? If a doctor were to tell you to abstain from alcohol, would that mean simply that you should not take it through your mouth but that you could transfuse it directly into your veins? Of course not! So, too, abstaining from blood means not taking it into our bodies at all. (The Watchtower, June 1, 1969, p. 326-7) OK. I'll buy it! With the same reasoning then.... A delicatessen just opened a new selection of OK-by-the-Bible sausages. Blood fraction sausage! Yum yum... and then there's 'blood fraction pudding'.... mmmMMMmmmMMMmm good! It's all kosher for JW's... sure. The deli just slothers all the blood into a centrifuge, it spits out the separated goodies, and makes special foods with only the fractions allowed by God.

Some already are.

I am going to tell a dub that I am applying for a job at http://www.baxtertransfusiontherapies.com
They do lots with doner blood. Yum yum.
They will be shocked!
I will ask "are you OK?"
They will express dismay.
I will say "Why?"
They will answer "blood and all that..."
I will say, hey, the WTS says it's a conscience matter to accept the stuff Baxter makes. Then how can you be offended?

I'd like to fabricate a picture of a blood doner clinic.
Lined up at the front door, with their sleeves rolled up, are the "worldly people" ready to provide.
Lined up at the back door, are the dubs, with their sleeves rolled up and their thirsty arms bared.

Q) Are you going to go to the Red Cross to give blood?
A) They will answer speedily... NO! (without hesitation)
Q) Why do you feel that way?
A) They will answer that 'blood must be poured out' etc.
Q) Are you personally willing to accept fractions of others blood?
This is where the fun begins.
They have the option of a quick NO! Almost certainly they will not choose this, as they would be an immediate liar. They know that they are willing to take whatever the Governing Gods in Brooklyn dictate they can without sanction because simply put, they want to live! You can have some fun with that answer, by utilizing statements like "You'd rather die than take an immunization etc"
They have the option of saying YES! This is even more fun, as you can now express how hipocritical it is to accept blood products made from "worldly" people's blood, but be unwilling to donate. And how of course are you treating the law that "blood must bepoured out" if you are using some?
What will most likely happen is they will hesitate, unsure of how to respond. But this is the most deadly for you can then ask "Why the difference? How is it you responded so quickly to the first question, but now hesitate on this one?"
"WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" is the final question that drives the nail home, right into their skull.

I asked a fellow 'dub' at work "what fraction of fornication will you be taking?"
He looked at me with a gasp!
I said "paragraph 7 discussed Acts 15:28, 29 and made clear that blood was just as "morally vital" an issue as abstaing from immorality or idol worship, so if you can take a fraction of blood, then what fractions of fornication or idol worship will you be engaging in today?"
He shrugged it off.
I am getting out my shovel.
Apoc.... pit-digger class.

Well, on Sunday I gave my comment. I said that "some may take blood products, because they feel it's OK. But others feel that since, as the Watchtower points out on page 30 paragraph 4 that that "requires that blood be collected processed" that they feel it is wrong, after all no JW would give his blood to be used in this process, nor would they work in one of the factories where all these products are made, so why would they use these products"
The conductor said "yes, we can then see the balanced viewpoint"
What a moron!
Jesus had it right. Let the blind lead the blind for they will both fall into the pit.
