Praise governing body

Janosky:
When the dentist give you anaesthetics & commence tooth extraction , the red substance from the incision dey enter your system,

blood transfusion
/ˈblʌd tran(t)sfjuːʒ(ə)n/
A blood transfusion is a safe, common medical procedure where donated blood or components (red cells, platelets, plasma) are delivered intravenously into a patient's bloodstream."

Oga, the difference is B.T. is donated blood to another patient.

You don't donate your own blood for your own surgical procedure.

Oga,use your brain nau.

MaxInDHouse:
In a nutshell there are many religions tagging people "worldly" for one reason or another.

So what exactly are you saying now?

You know exactly what I'm saying! If you say you don't know that's on you!!

Eldeedon:
You know exactly what I'm saying! If you say you don't know that's on you!!

This is what you said regarding what is making you angry with JWs:

Eldeedon:
You can't keep on telling me that I'm the bad guy why you are the good guy and expect us to keep quiet.

So i asked you:

MaxInDHouse:
Have you seen any JW in your street shouting that you are bad people?

Have you heard any JW telling you that you are bad people?

Have any JWs call you bad simply because you are not a JW?

It's just jealousy that's worrying people like you what i believe has practically nothing to do with you.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't shout in your streets calling you bad.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't call you bad for not being JWs

Jehovah's Witnesses don't preach that you people are bad.

All we are saying is only our members are worshipers of our God but you are disturbed by guilty conscience as you can see faith in action among JWs and you feel we should accept you as our fellow worshipers something that is not true!🙂

Janosky:

Like I said before, on this forum.
It's the mainstream news media that labelled the practice that JW's have been doing since the late 1970s/80s down to this 2026 as "new policy shift".

That hundeyin guy was a toddler when the info was first published in our journals,you know not everybody reads JW's publications ,hence they wouldn't know what every JW's know about this matter.
The info is in our older publications (before the advent of the internet) that the matter is a personal decision (jw broadcast update #2 video) stated the same thing and referenced our Watchtower year 2000 October article as reminder to all JW's worldwide .
Not everyone could access the older Watchtower articles , but our TV broadcast is widely received everywhere.

Storing ones blood for transfusion is not accepted Thursday 19th March 2026.

Storing ones blood for transfusion is now accepted..Friday 20th March 2026.

Is that not a doctrinal change and adjustment?-

Accept there's been a change
. You gain more respect and dignify yourself and your organization the more.

Why this desperation to defend?

MaxInDHouse:

"Our God" what do you mean by that ?

Eldeedon:
"Our God" what do you mean by that ?

Are you worshiping the same God with all kinds of religions around you?🙂

If with all the knowledge of Bible, one couldn't come up with this adjustments until the Governing Body said so?
Why should I pay attention to any of your teachings if I disagree with anyone..
I will rather wait for your Governing body, since one seem inertly incapable.

Cuz some changes will come in future and I bet they as members won't be able to figure it out through their study before time. But you all will rush to defend the change when it's out..
Yet the people you preach too and try to convert have revealed these things out a lot of times through insight from God before your Governing body..

It means God is with them also. Cuz the changes they are making aren't unique but belated.

Means some aren't capable of independent study to arrive at their own convictions. they only make sure you arrive at the conviction of the general bodys publications consciously or unconsciously without realising it...

Eldeedon:
Hahaha

He said jealous! Jealous of what please? So, because we are pointing out the areas where you guys are wrong in your doctrines means we are jealous abi?

The last time I pointed it out by quoting exactly words, he went on attack spree.
Now claiming politeness and Mature when fed his own medicine.

Mr Eldeedon if you don't know what to say in reply it's simple.

There are thousands of religions around you that you won't agree with them as your fellow worshipers even among churches of Christendom there is segregation as Catholics will say all others are false, Pentecostals will say white garment churches are false, i can still remember T.B Joshua of Synagogue most Pentecostals tag him as devil incarnate but what makes all of you so disturbed about JWs?

You're all eyewitnesses of our faith in action so there is no religion that can say Jehovah's Witnesses aren't servants of the true God but because we insist that only our members are worshipers of our God you people are disturbed and worried.

Good night!🙂

MaxInDHouse:
Are you worshiping the same God with all kinds of religions around you?🙂

That's what I want you to tell me.. what kind of God are you worshipping? Since you used the word "our God"

And also, tell me the religions that are around us!

I will be earnestly waiting for your responses

Thank you.

What makes you feel like jw are the true servants of God? Don't tell me that's what your governing body told you. Give me real proof.

And then what makes you so sure that it's the false God I am serving?

I need your

When a medical article or doctor says “other procedures involve the use of a person’s own blood,” it usually means:

The doctor uses your own blood during the surgery itself, not blood stored from someone else.

This does not automatically mean storing blood far in advance.

Does it mean storing your blood ahead of time?

Sometimes yes — but not always.

There are two different things, so it’s good to separate them:

1. Note this this is wrong : Not stored in advance (most common)

But this this is right :
Your own blood is collected during the surgery, cleaned, and returned to you at the same time.

Examples:

Cell salvage (cell saver) — blood lost during an operation is collected, filtered, and given back to you immediately.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) — just before surgery begins, a small amount of your blood is temporarily removed, kept beside you in the operating room, then re-infused during the operation.

Note: This blood is not “stored” in a blood bank.
It stays with you during the whole process.

Jehovah’s Witnesses often consider these acceptable if the blood is kept in immediate connection with the body **(but each person chooses individually)**.

2. Stored ahead of time (pre-operative autologous donation)
Here, a person gives their own blood days or weeks before surgery. It is stored in a blood bank and then used during the operation.

This is long-term storage.
Jehovah’s Witnesses do not accept this, because once the blood is stored separately, outside the body, they view it as no longer part of the person.

Eldeedon:

"There are many gods" says the Bible {1Corinthans 8:5} and these gods are pretending to be the true God or from the true {2Corinthians 11:14} so that means a demon can choose to answer the name Jesus but it's worshipers will not know they are not doing anything for the real Jesus and so he does not even know them. Matthew 7:21-23

Please do you believe these things and if you do base on this fact are you worshiping the same God with all the religions around you?🙂

Eldeedon:
What makes you feel like jw are the true servants of God?

What makes you feel the Bible God and and Jesus of the Bible are real?
Don't just quote what is written in that book now but give me logical reasons that any sane person could grasp even though such a person doesn't believe in the Bible!🙂

They will never read or reason with this all they are doing is:
"The religion that separates herself from us has come back to join us"🤣

I reserved my personal comment and views but I know that people of a certain threshold of intelligence will be very happy about this doctrinal increment and might even go as far as to celebrate it!

What about people who cannot store their blood ahead of rainy weather? People with sickle cell anomaly or even people who need organ and marrow transplant? Do these set of believers need to start banking their marrow and organs ahead just in case it fails?

Exactly!!

So, based on what you said here, since you know there gods.. which of them are you serving? And from your analysis which of them do you think I'm serving since you have said me and you are serving different gods!!

Please I'm waiting

Chaiiiiiii.....after my friends sister died because of this useless doctrine. Anyways gullible people will always be victims of such nonsense doctrine.

It's not my duty to tell you which God you are serving my own duty is to tell you whether mine and yours are same.

From what we've discussed so far on this thread i know that your God differ from mine but you can call yours whatever pleases you!🙂

Eldeedon:
Why do you keep ignoring my questions and expecting me to indulge you... nah! Can't happen

If you can't prove anything other than arguing on what is written in books i think you and i aren't on the same page.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses i can sit an atheist who doesn't believe in any God or books and convince him or her why i believe in the Bible God so i won't start quoting the book but reason logically with him.

See examples of what i'm saying:

DoctorAyukebot:
You know your scriptures

Mayflowa:
Wow! See Bible scholars! So impressive!

SeniorMan715:
The way you explain and answer questions, sometimes i wonder if truly you are a human or an angel. You know everything.

IykeSent:
This is a deep and insightful explanation of Hebrews 1:5, showing how Jesus is uniquely God's Son not just another angel. I especially liked the connection to the temple and the idea of spiritual sonship through being “born again.God bless you for this

Perfectly said bro 💯

JimRohn:
Do you really consider DeepSight to be on the same intellectual level as MaxInDHouse or some of the other individuals I engage with here?

Because frankly, MaxInDHouse is among the most intelligent contributors on Nairaland. In contrast, DeepSight does not even qualify for consideration when I rate people based on intellect.

That is precisely why I refuse to bring myself down to his level — instead, I choose to engage with those whose reasoning and arguments are worth my time.

Sojourner2000:
For real... It's hard answering this when I know for sure that the God we are referring to is just an illusion that most humans chose to accept as a reality.
Anyways I wanted to commend you for the hard facts you have been dropping and how you have been tackling responses. I need people like this in real life. Everyone around me is just dumbed down

RavinWolf:
I never saw a better response. Thank you. 100% correct!

Roycemadeit:
Yes, you have silenced me, with facts, of course. You can define knowingness; now try defining belief and faith, and show me how they connect to reality...

These people are from different schools of thought ranging from atheists to agnostics, traditionalists and Churchians.

So if all you can do is rely solely on what is written in that book without being able to reason logically to convince others why they should believe the Bible it's clear you and i aren't on the same page!🙂

If this is what you mean the GB meant.

Why, did the announcer say STORE and REUSE?

Also, the Watchtower article referencing in that announcement clearly against STORING OWN BLOOD FOR REUSE.

Guy is very obvious you don't know what you are saying or what you are arguing about!

I only ask you to explain what you mean by your statement "our god" and you haven't said anything meaningful since, rather you're busy beating round the bush!

Guy if you are jobless, which i know most of you are, I'm not! I have more important things to do, rather than coming here dragging things around with you.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
I DON'T GET WHAT ALL THESE ONLINE BLOGGERS ARE FUSSING ABOUT?🤷🏻‍♂️
Storage and Transfusion are still prohibited. I've read about this CELL SALVAGE AND BYPASS MACHINE stuff SOMETIMES IN THE 2000s.
Maybe this recent announcement is for emphasis or elaboration.

What hasn't change? Have you been storing your blood and reusing it before??!!

Seriously I don't! Is it that you guys just don't want to see or what? Someone even just post your article from 2000 above and you are still saying this

You have been condemning my religion since and i said you shouldn't worry it's simply because my God and your God differ yet you are this worried.

Would you have asked those questions if it's a Muslim or traditionalist or Hindu or Buddhist or Judaist that said this to you?

Ọmọ i'm not the cause of your frustration my God differ from yours that's why we can't agree on terms and conditions regarding faith in God!🙂

Storage in blood bank and Transfusion still remains prohibited. So what changed?

Filtration, cell salvage and almost everything mentioned here is something that has always been based on personal decision.
As I said, this announcement sounds more like an elaboration of things already standing so that more people will become aware of their options. No shift in their transfusion policy. Not even an inch.

Go and watch the update very well. How did you come up with this after watching the video? Your Governing Body spoke English and he was very easy to understand.
