lol.. you know him as well.
It probably makes him feel cool and "validate" his beliefs when he boxes people with his pre-determined premises.

Unfortunately that's not how the Bible is. It's not entirely fixated and rigid into a Yes/No in all things.

Serious wahala, I like how you are making him eat his own rules

achorladey:
Loooooool, shame far from them. They can speak from both side of their lips without blinking their eyes with lies and manipulations.

I wonder how those blood fractions that are banned comes into play regarding the latest development

Emusan:
Very pitiable!

People who have been defending BLOOD TRANSFUSION all this while suddenly begin to change mouth.

MaobiCarl:
Doctors can lie and tell JW elders that is their own blood

MaxInDHouse:
If you know the answer to your question then there is no reason asking someone else nah!🙂

TONYE001:
Alright, sir.
Make we leave the matter here, these back and forths are not necessary. Glad your organization are loosening up regarding blood transfusion. Sad that those that have died because of this blood issue are not here to see this change. Hopefully, things will be better. My message to everyone reading this - be careful about the health decisions you make... especially when considering the policy of your church. These policies change, don't be a victim before it changes.

Emusan:
I first saw the post yesterday on X(Twitter) but I was so busy and I had to confirm the authenticity of the NEW LIGHT, then I downloaded the video and I hear it directly from the speaker that:

After much prayer and study of the scripture, the Governor Body has come to conclusion that....a CHRISTIAN can now make a choice of how their own blood can be used during medical situation which includes taking one own blood, store it and take it back..."

Someone who is not brainwashed will simply ask few questions:
1. Does it mean they started PRAYING & STUDY scripture this recently?
2. If it involves Prayer & Scripture, doesn't it suppose to be a command from God rather than to be left a CHOICE?
3. The stand and the scripture used previous was for BLOOD TRANSFUSION, why shifting goal post and still using the same scriptures to now to support BLOOD TRANSFUSION?

We'll see their defense now

Apostle Paul already warned us in Ephesians 4:14

Consequently, the removal of one’s blood, storing it and later putting it back into the same person would be a violation of the Scriptural principles that govern the handling of blood.—Gen. 9:4-6.”

“Again, if one’s own blood would have to be withdrawn at intervals and stored until a sufficient amount had accumulated to set a machine in operation, this too would fall under Scriptural prohibition.” (w59 10/15 p. 640 Questions From Readers)

MaobiCarl:
Doctors generally are celebrating because of this news, they will be relieved somehow of this tiresome burden of saving a life of a brainwashed jw
At least now they can work it around.. If someone donates blood to a jw patient .. They can lie and tell nosy elders that is their own blood

achorladey:
It is a ground to be disfellowshipped or regarded as disassociated. That's what personal choice means regarding accepting transfusion of your own blood before the latest change

promami:
It's not true.
There's a DPA card where you decide what happens to you in medical emergencies where you can't decide for yourself. The DPA card says how you want to be treated and it's solely an individual thing.
This is not new to JW. It was just reiterated.

achorladey:
What is not true? That accepting blood transfusion is not a disfellowship offense or one tagged disassociating.

Stop deflecting my point. I am not talking about DPA. You use DPA or you don't use DPA it is irrelevant as it applies to the rules regarding accepting blood transfusion as it concerns being disfellowshipped or disassociated.

promami:
What is not true is that if your blood or parts of it used for your treatment would result to disfellowship.

Willingly and Unrepentantly Accepting Blood: If
someone willingly accepts a blood transfusion, perhaps
because of being under extreme pressure, a committee
(not judicial) should obtain the facts and determine the
individual’s attitude. If he is repentant, the committee
would provide spiritual assistance in the spirit of
Galatians 6:1 and Jude 22, 23. Since he is spiritually
weak, he would not qualify for special privileges for a
period of time. (See 1:2.8; 2:4.) In some cases, it may
also be necessary to remove other privileges, such as
commenting at congregation meetings and presenting
student assignments on the midweek meeting.
Depending on the circumstances, the committee may
also need to arrange for an announcement to the
congregation at a midweek meeting: “The elders have
handled a matter having to do with [name of person].
You will be glad to know that spiritual shepherds are
endeavoring to render assistance.” On the other hand,
if the elders on the committee determine that he isunrepentant, they should announce his disassociation.

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...

Religion!!

Jehovah’s Witnesses ease policy on transfusions, allowing storage and use of one’s own blood

*Jehovah’s Witnesses announced members may now store and use their own blood for surgery, marking the first significant shift in the religion’s 75-year transfusion prohibition.

*The organization maintains its ban on receiving transfusions of others’ blood, a prohibition that ex-members say has led to preventable deaths.

*Critics argue the policy change falls short, as members who accept donor blood in medical emergencies could face shunning from the faith community.

Leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses are modifying their prohibition on receiving blood transfusions on religious grounds, now allowing members to decide whether to allow their own blood to be drawn and stored in advance for such things as a scheduled surgery with a risk of significant blood loss.

But the organization is retaining its wider prohibition against receiving transfusions of others’ blood — a procedure routinely used with patients after accidents, violence or other blood loss. This long-held prohibition is one of the most distinctive and controversial teachings of the movement, which is headquartered in New York state and well-known for its assertive public proselytizing.

The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses announced what it called a “clarification” of its teaching on Friday, saying it came after extensive prayer and consideration.

“Each Christian must decide for himself how his own blood will be used in all medical and surgical care,” Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch said in a video statement posted Friday on the denomination’s website.

“This includes whether to allow his own blood to be removed, stored, and then given back to him. What does this mean? Some Christians may decide that they would allow their blood to be stored and then be given back to them, others may object.”

Emusan:
Definitely, different spirits inspired the two statements.

And one thing is sure, the two spirits aren't from the True God.

Using painkiller over someone else headache!🙂
Go and find solution to religionists who are bent on forcing you to join them you will say NO but the most peaceful organized people on planet earth you want to accuse for sticking to their faith what a shame?🙂

Courz:
Jehovah's Witnesses, once again in the mud. Just imagine the blood on the hands of these Freemason Governing Body. After sacrificing these people to their gods and seeing that the sacrifices are not working and they are being targeted by Governments in different countries, they decided to allow Jehovah's witnesses donate, store and transfuse their own blood. Chai. Great punishment loading for these evil men.
