JW was against transfusion of blood whether is your own blood or from someone's else.
LIE!
My own blood runs through my veins so i can never ever reject it!🙂

Try to read up on your own materials
Was this found in a brochure?
For your information all JWs carry this everywhere we go as our identity card in case of immergency so once any medical personnel see this in someone who is a critically condition they know such a person is one of Jehovah's Witnesses who will never opt for blood transfusion no matter what happens!🙂
Re: Jehovah's Witnesses Now Allow Transfusion Of One’s Own Blood by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:34am On Mar 21
Go and speak with medical personnels on the matter first before coming here to argue!🙂

God did and you may want find out why God forbade blood even though he created it and humans can eat it. You need to understand intent first.

Then consider the different Bible portions that talks about abstinence from blood and why the elders and apostle in Jerusalem specifically mentioned to abstain from

1. Things strangled
2. Blood.


Then explain how else one can from blood.

chimex38:
The blood is composed of:
Red blood cells
Whiteblood cells
Plasma
Water
Protein
Platelets
Etc...

Another issue to consider is this
Has there been any drugs, tablets or Cyrup that's usually consumed that uses components of blood from either animals or humans to Manufacture them?

If no, then The JW might have a point.
If yes, then we're all complicit knowingly or unknowingly.


The closest I and most of us know of is venom from Snakes, to create Antivenum medications.
But Venom isn't blood.
This is apt critical thinking. The bible explicitly says to abstain from things strangled and from blood.

Apart from things strangled that we all know contains blood, how else can one abstain from blood given that medical or food products DO NOT contain blood.

If the governing body finally addresses the blood issue totally and allows members to take blood without restrictions... What will now be your stance on this scripture?

After decades of martyr, public backslash and high mortality among members of named sect. Jehovah's Witnesses conscience or lifestyle directors (Governing body) has finally agreed to let there members accept blood transfusions at point of death.

Although this new update comes with conditions. Blood transfusions is still blood transfusions, whether is your blood, relatives blood or a strangers blood. Will they apologise for thousand of faithful adherents who preferred to die than save there lives medically? No
They've never apologised for deceiving anyone rather they'll blame staunch members for doing too much...

Be that as it may. Personally I'm not a fan of blood transfusion,and I pray that I never fall Into a situation where I'll need one,my wife has done surgery 3 times and each of those times God has been kind by giving us doctors who are willing to apply current medical practices involving non blood procedures,and it worked perfectly well for us..so there are choices people make.lets leave them to their choices,after all the Bible says "every man will carry his own load' of responsibility for his actions
chimex38:
Even "craze" men can have healthier liver, kidney, that are more suitable than intelligent/smart/phychological balanced folks.

You choice of acceptance isn't my point and concern.

Just wanted to clarify the GENERAL assumptions you might have inferred in your write-up that "ALL mentally ill peeps can't have compatible and healthy blood to donate".
Screening donors doesn't work like that.

Of course non-blood procedures will definitely be ideal. We hope research advances and spreads to become more affordable and especially accessible and widespread.

So Where's the lie in the original post?

Do you guys take blood transfusions before or not?
Is it the scriptures or the governing body that updated the policy on "no blood transfusions" to allow taking your own stored blood through transfusions, today?

The governing body interprets the scriptures for you because you guys have no brains or probably can't read the bible, right?
How did a symbol of life become the essence of life??
This isn't an update but a total change of blood doctrine invented by a drunkard trying not be part of the world
Best advise to you is store up ur blood in a blood bank.. You may need it in the future
Please can you explain more to me the bolded

Who told you the organization accept or reject something for anyone?
Ọmọ it's divine guidance so it's either you adhere or ignore no one is forcing you to live by God's standards! 🙂
See, don't avoid the question, please.

You and I know the answer.

OK, since you say the organization doesn't make choices for people, let me rephrase.

Prior to this report, do you think a majority of JW accepted autologous blood transfusion?

Yes or No.
Re: Jehovah's Witnesses Now Allow Transfusion Of One’s Own Blood by MaobiCarl(op):
MrSamsung:

There logic is that life belongs to God so its sacred. Scripturally according to jw GB interpretation BLOOD is a symbol of life so blood is life. Blood belongs to God

But yet again blood is not life is still a symbol of life.
My business logo is not equal with my business. I cannot sacrifice my business because of my business logo. Why are jws taught to sacrifice there precious life because of blood? Why are they so hard on themselves? They're definitely not pleasing anyone not even themselves doing too much

If it were last week, would you say exactly what you just said?

Now! All of a sudden you realize it is not logical and it needs correction! Sometimes when some of you talk, shame dey catch me...

That was how a mother I know was bullying the daughter anytime this girl wore trousers, In fact this woman will go as far as using scissors to cut the trousers into pieces.

But immediately they announced that it was now okay to wear trousers, that year convention this woman wore trouser to the program!

So, tell me, who is fooling who?

JW is a cult. I was once part of them but I left when I studied the scripture and saw that JW had their own manipulated book that denied the deity of Christ.

Someone said up there said that the Bible admonished to abstain from blood. But he dishonestly said external blood and not yours without scriptural backing. These people will not stop taking scripture out of context

Faith is not about what we know 100% but God's people move together as One family. Surely things weren't clear on the matter before now but thanks to the holy spirit we now have a perfect understanding regarding that Bible verse!🙂

Janosky:
From his mouth, John 10:34-36 Jesus is the son of God.
Jesus is a god, he quotes Psalm 82:6 to confirm it .

Deuteronomy 10:17, "Yahweh his Father is the God of gods " ( his sons- Jesus +man+angels @ Psalms 82:1,6.)

@ John 1:1 ,the Word ,(God's son) is a god"
yes Jesus is the Anointed one of God and he is God. I have this belief as well but that question was meant for the person I quoted.

The OP is misleading but since people like you don't care to Make sure of all things {1Thessalonians 5:21} i will help you.

The scriptures says:
"Abstain from BLOOD"
Genesis 9:4
Leviticus 17:11, 14
Deuteronomy 12:16, 23
Act 15:20, 29; 21:25

In all the above God's word is talking about blood from external sources not your own blood that could be drained and transfused back into your body!🙂
