  Stoning sinners to death

  so we've adopted the refusal of blood transfusions given how the bible clearly states it's a sin to reintroduce blood into the body once it has been shed; however, why don't we still stone sinners to death (just the really bad ones) like they did in they did when times were purer?.

  I just verified. You re right.

  Acts 15:28-29

  28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.

  Lev 3:17

  17 'This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither fat nor blood.' "

  The doctrine of the Jehovah’s Witnesses prohibiting blood transfusions is not found in scripture.

  JWs object to transfusion of blood on the grounds that it is the same as intravenous feeding.

  Where does it say that? Would you kindly show me please? My Bibles of which I have about 70 now say no such thing. They simply says we must not 'eat' it and nothing more.

  I do wish people would keep the Bible and their personal interpretation separate and resist the need to make meld them. Mixing the two has been the cause of no end of harm.

  That's what I thought it said. My parents force me to go to the meetings, so my mind wanders and I really don't retain 5% of what's said at the meetings, so thanks for humbling me.
