Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Transfusion Confusion
Jesus Gave His Blood to Save Mankind
*Simple fact-*The Bible does not prohibit Blood transfusions. If you are bleeding to death it is more dangerous to refuse blood transfusions than to take one. Bloodless surgeries are great if they can be elective. 1/3rd of all trauma deaths are from blood loss.
Jehovah's Witnesses elders will investigate and disfellowship any Jehovah Witness who takes a blood transfusion, to say the issue is a 'personal conscience matter' is subterfuge to keep the Watchtower out of lawsuits.
Jehovah's Witnesses children die every year worldwide due to blood transfusion ban. Rank & file Jehovah's Witness are indoctrinated to be scared to death of blood FYI 1) JW's DO USE many parts aka 'fractions' aka components of blood, so if it's 'sacred' to God why the hypocritical contradiction flip-flop?
2) They USE blood collections that are donated by Red Cross and others but don't donate back, more hypocrisy.
3) The Watchtower promotes and praises bloodless elective surgeries; this is a great advancement indeed. BUT it's no good to me if I am bleeding to death from a car crash and lose much of my blood volume and need EMERGENCY blood transfusion.
Remember the Jehovah's Witnesses use thousands and thousands of pints of blood donated by others. They use 60% of the blood volume as broken down "fractions" then go on Bible thumping rants about how dangerous and sinful blood transfusions are.
(JW do allow organ transplants which has more risk than whole blood transfusions so their arguments of disease transmission is bogus)
Know this, the reason that JW refuse blood is because of their spin on the 3,000 year old Biblical Old Testament, modern medicine will eventually make blood donations and transfusions a thing of the past. When this technology happens it won't vindicate the Jehovah's Witnesses and all the deaths that have occurred so far.
The Watchtower's rules against blood transfusions will eventually be abolished (very gradually to reduce wrongful death lawsuit liability) even now most of the blood 'components' are allowed.
They are such hypocrites!
