Do you know that both in the old and new testament God never allowed or approved his people to take blood?

Why are you taking blood and go against what the Bible teach if u are a Christian.

What is the reason of eating or drinking? Is it not to provide nutrients. God’s word says “abstain from blood”. At the time this instruction was given, the only known means of blood intake was either eating or drinking. But over the centuries oral and parentereal applications of blood were introduced. If you are ill and unable to eat, can’t the nutrients be intravenously administered to you?
In like manner, intravenously administering/transfusion blood to an individual is same as blood consumption.

With regards to matter of life and death as it pertains to blood transfusions. Let’s look at this example of the first century;

Emperor Nero has arrested a family of father, mother and child, and they are led before a great crowd of people in the theatre. In the middle of the theatre is an altar with a burning fire, and beside the fire is a censer with incense. The ultimatum to the father is: «Go to the altar and put some incense on the fire, thus sacrificing to the genius of the emperor, and your whole family will be released. If not, all of you will be killed.
Shall the father compromise his faith in order to save the life of himself and his family, including his child?
Many Christians refused to do just that and were consequently killed.


It is clear, there is no compromise when it comes to God’s law on the matters highlighted in Acts 15:21.

Many people have died from the extremist’s view of Jehovah witness that their members should not receive blood transfusion because of the twisted Bible verse that children of God should not drink the blood of animals like the occultists do.

How does drinking animal blood and receiving blood transfusion to save one’s life be interpreted as the same?

Jehovah witness should stop this extremism and allow people live.


Blood loss is the number killer of women during childbirth in this part of the world, and to reduce or stop death from blood loss is by blood transfusion which the teachings of JW stand against and this has been leading many into early grave.
very true

When you swallow drugs or get injected with the components of the tablet you swallowed, will you get the same result or not? When a sick person refuses to eat, are the nutrients required for bodily existence not passed to the body via infusion?
Leviticus 3:17 stated categorically that we should not eat blood AT ALL. It is not negotiable, whether you eat it orally or via injection, it is not acceptable.

Used to be a Witness years back.I was actually born a third generation JW.But in 2013,i left the organisation voluntarily,wasn't disfellowshipped or even public reproofed.I saw through the then Brooklyn based propaganda machine(heard the HQ is in Warwick,NY now).It was all just about the different Chairmen of the governing body from C.T Russell-Milton Henschel(stopped checking after him)and the way they personally interpreted the Bible.Lots of horse.shit doctrines(yea,i call them that now)and lots of restrictions.Calling people of other religions"Worldlies",such effrontery!!...I have no sympathy for them anymore.I have always wondered why different governments in different parts of the world have consistently sought them out for persecution(The Nazis even gave them a special designation,"Purple Triangle"in their various concentration camps before and during World war 2).The Soviets,the Malawian government,South Korea,and a lot of countries where they are either totally banned or on the watch list.There is something inherently evil about that lot.I only pity the few remaining members of my family who are still adherents.As for me?i say big ups to Mr Putin,hunt them down..

Re: Russia’s Mysterious Campaign Against Jehovah’s Witnesses by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:17am On Jul 26, 2021
Most people thought faith is cheap, but the truth is that faith comes with a high price and Satan is always after those having Faith!
All these people agitating aren't doing so out of love, majority of them will singlehandedly assault JWs if permitted to do so. Satan is just using them as subtle apologists of faithlessness.
Let's try to see ourselves in the same situation Abraham found himself when asked to sacrifice Isaac or see ourselves in Jephthah's shoe or in the situation Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) found themselves. In all these cases it's about their lives even though they never had any words of assurance of a resurrection from anyone like we have today! John 5:28-29; 11:21-27
So we know what they're "the faithless generation" of course they'll want a sign from heaven before exercising faith in what God's word says {Mark 16:4} therefore whatever they say can't move us because we know that faith in itself is not a possession of all kinds of people! 2Thessalonians 3:2 smiley

The highlighted is the funniest comment ever made in the history of mankind!
Guy i was a Muslim and an agent before i began studying with JWs. I have been to so many countries so i had to work with so many other agents of the intelligence from different nations across the world.
Our training and other prerequisites for becoming an agent totally contradicts the beliefs of JWs who strongly oppose the idea of carrying weapons or training how to kill! Micah 4:3
So no single JW with the intelligence throughout the whole wide world!
But you're on track because that's the same report a senior colleague told me the Orthodox Churches in Ghana brought to Jerry Rawlings decades ago. He said they were sent to investigate, as agents of the intelligence they had to pretend as interested persons so as to penetrate the deepest places and secrets of Jehovah's Witnesses but by the end of the day the agency lost 5 of their best guys to the JWs! undecided
WHY? Before they could complete their mission many of them have become convince that JWs is the one and only true Christian group because they had to study deep before they can be allowed to get to the root of everything JWs are doing. About 10 out of the agents became appointed servants in JWs that means they must have known all the secret of the organization and five of them decided to continue serving the God of JWs.
My colleague said his best friend (late) wrote a letter and waited until the day he had to deliver a talk (preach before the members as JWs do say it) that was the day he read his resignation letter that he's not a JW and he will never live his religion (Islam) no matter what the JWs infuse in his heart. The audience were shocked when this man walked out of the Kingdom Hall and never returned!
But the other five are still serving as JWs today.
My colleague was relating this experience to discourage me from having any dealings with JWs i quote him "They have some charms that will make you forget all your dreams and career in life, and before you know it you're already helping them to sell books and the worst part is you will find yourself doing so with the greatest joy, do you think that is normal?" Matthew 16:24; Luke 18:22

Today i'm one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES and always happy that i no more see people as suspects as agents do view everyone around them, today i know that the only set of enemies that needed to be arrested and chained are Satan and his demons {Ephesians 6:12} so no matter what anyone think, say or do against us today we just take them for puppets in the hands of Satan and his demons therefore our heartfelt prayers for them is:

"Jehovah, please forgive them because they don't know what they are doing" Luke 23:34; Act 7:60

May you have PEACE! smiley

You seems to know little about religious activities in RUSSIA.
Russian Orthodox services are sparsely-populated and mainly by old people, JW meetings are jam-packed and the majority in attendance are young people.
MAJORITY of Russians claim to follow the RO, very few of them actually practice the religion ACTIVELY. Also JWs have an active teaching program that annoys the ROC priest and religious leaders.
The ROC is then using their privilege as the most polluted group in RUSSIA plus JWs neutrality. No serious politician will wants to support JWs if he wants to keeps his position

And come to think of it, when they come to preach, deep down in their minds their ultimate objective is not to preach peace and love but to condemn your own belief and tell you that they know God in a special way than everyone else. That is simply arrogance and pride. They want you to collect their tracts while they reject yours like a plague. Is that how to be peaceful and peace loving?

The day someone said they are among the most open minded all other Christian denominations.

I just ask the person straight, when one approach us now and we hand that person a religious publication and that person don't even bother to look into it but reject it straightaway

*. Leviticus 19:26 "KJV: YE SHALL NOT EAT ANY THING WITH THE BLOOD: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times."

Watch Tower devotees, let's stop where the Word stops...

Your moniker says "KNOWMORE" so i'll like to believe that you truthfully want to KNOWMORE! smiley

We are Jehovah's Witnesses, we don't just take orders from anyone without ascertaining what is the significance of such injunctions so whenever Jehovah ask us to do anything the first thing true JWs often do is to question Jehovah to be sure that the spirit talking is in deed the true God!
Abraham, Moses even Jesus did this before taking action on whatever they hear from the spirit. So when we read in the scriptures that Jehovah warned his faithful servants of old not to eat meat along with it's blood {Genesis 9:4; Deuteronomy 12:23; Act 15:29} we need to question Jehovah to be certain of such injunction, but we can't see or hear him directly unlike our people of ancient times with whom Jehovah spoke directly!
So how do we question Jehovah to know why he gave such orders? It's by studying his words with diligence so that we can defend His words before all kinds of people.
Jehovah explained that the (life) of a creature is in its blood {Leviticus 17:11} meaning such a thing is not to be transferred from the body of one creature to another! undecided
Of course when Jehovah gives such orders we can't expect those who don't know our God to take such injunction seriously. But we need to be certain of the evil consequences Jehovah wants to prevent from affecting His loving children. Isaiah 48:17-18
Today there are so many deadly diseases ravaging lives throughout the earth though before now such do occur but not to this level, surely all these are the consequences of man's disobedience to the wise counsel from God's word. For your information, professional health workers themselves will totally object to blood transfusion because they know that it's just part of their experiments that has not been adequately certified as safe treatment.
Please go and ask health professionals not just the nurses but a certified doctor who is your close confidant what i'm telling you now, then you'll be shocked that you've been thoroughly deceived! undecided
What most people don't know is that each profession has its deep secrets that we don't reveal to the masses to keep our profession on the higher level. Health professionals knew very well that there are so many forms of treatment they are carrying out on patients as part of their experiments but they will not tell you. If you travel to advance countries today you will see that blood transfusion is no more administered because they've seen the poor outcome of the experiment over the years. And they will never come out publicly to say they're sorry for misleading the the entire human race because if they do then the W.H.O (World Health Organization) has lost it. Throughout the world people will start reverting to the alternative health practices.

All these are top secrets that i shouldn't be disclosing on social media but just know that blood transfusion is evil. But it's just unfortunate that the only people who objected to it are the most vilified in the society of course their God knows far much more than all the scientists in the world! Isaiah 55:9

What is the reason of eating or drinking? Is it not to provide nutrients. God’s word says “abstain from blood”. At the time this instruction was given, the only known means of blood intake was either eating or drinking. But over the centuries oral and parentereal applications of blood were introduced. If you are ill and unable to eat, can’t the nutrients be intravenously administered to you?
In like manner, intravenously administering/transfusion blood to an individual is same as blood consumption.

With regards to matter of life and death as it pertains to blood transfusions. Let’s look at this example of the first century;

Emperor Nero has arrested a family of father, mother and child, and they are led before a great crowd of people in the theatre. In the middle of the theatre is an altar with a burning fire, and beside the fire is a censer with incense. The ultimatum to the father is: «Go to the altar and put some incense on the fire, thus sacrificing to the genius of the emperor, and your whole family will be released. If not, all of you will be killed.
Shall the father compromise his faith in order to save the life of himself and his family, including his child?
Many Christians refused to do just that and were consequently killed.


It is clear, there is no compromise when it comes to God’s law on the matters highlighted in Acts 15:21.

See the history of blood transfusion below and what the Bible says on blood.

Leviticus 3:17
This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.’”

The ordinance was to avoid eating fat or blood. You chose to obey one law and to reject the other.

You refuse blood transfusion but eat animal fat yet you claim you’re obeying God’s law.


The blood of animal commanded not to be eaten is the animal that has been killed and “the idea is that by ingesting it, the individual has destroyed the life force by dissipation. Instead, the life is to be offered back to God where it came.”

That was why the blood of Abel’s blood cried from the ground because he was dead already like you quoted in genesis 4:10.

The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Deuteronomy 12:16-25.
16. ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water
—The prohibition against eating or drinking blood as an unnatural custom accompanied the announcement of the divine grant of animal flesh for food (Ge 9:4), and the prohibition was repeatedly renewed by Moses with reference to the great objects of the law (Le 17:12), the prevention of idolatry, and the consecration of the sacrificial blood to God. In regard, however, to the blood of animals slain for food, it might be shed without ceremony and poured on the ground as a common thing like water—only for the sake of decency, as well as for preventing all risk of idolatry, it was to be covered over with earth (Le 17:13), in opposition to the practice of heathen sportsmen, who left it exposed as an offering to the god of the chase.


So, your sect deliberately twisted the law of God and in so doing you have sent many into their early graves. So yes, you guys are extremist. God never said humans should not be transfused with the blood of fellow humans. God can see into the future so He could have known that a time would come when blood transfusion would be a form of treatment yet He never spoke against it.




The blood of those who got injured in battles and had their blood spilled on the ground, don’t cry as long as the person is still alive

In blood transfusion, the person whose blood you’re refusing is not killed or dead so the analogy is not the same.

Then you simply enact a law that prohibits a parent from forcing his/her child from blood transfusion.
Is it legal to stop someone from having blood transfusion before? You don't understand the mind of religious zealots. Knowing such law exist,what do you think they'll do next when they have that child who'll probably need blood transfusion? Take him to the hospital?

The bolded belongs to the nation of Israel but it's no more an order for those under the new covenant! Jeremiah 31:34

The fat is poured on the fire so that the smoke will serve as the sign that the sacrifice has been accepted as the smoke keep ascending high up to heaven, so if the Israelites are eaters of the fat then it will become difficult for them to let go of this part. Through too much consumption of fat also has its side effects but since it's not included in the order given to our brothers who entered into the new covenant we know that Jehovah has put an end to that injunction!

Please read the new injunction that comes along with the New Covenant:


For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” Act 15:28-29

Do you notice that the blood is no more mentioned along with fat?
Well that's how JWs distinguish between what Jehovah wants us to continue keeping as order and those that has become obsolete.

May you have PEACE! smiley
