I've had a few call but I think I'm much too hard work for them and they don't call back. Could someone explain (if it's true) why they would not give their own children blood if they needed it because they were dying?
On the notion of 'the end is nigh' my mum has harped on about this for the past 45+ years of my life and I with to God she would shut up and just get on with living out her rotten miserable existance instead of trying to drag the rest of us down into her depression. If she thought it was true for one minute I'm sure she would reform her rotten ways!
One: The bible states to abstain from blood. Basically, that means not letting any foreign blood (blood that isn't yours), into your body. Example: If a doctor said that drinking wine would kill you, so you should abstain from it, would you hook it up to your arm in an iv drip? Of course not.
Secondly: There are many health risks that come with blood transfusions. You might get the wrong blood, making things worse. There might be an unknown disease in that blood. Human error, you know? But, there are many non-blood treatments that doctors now use. I'm surprised not many people know this, but more and more doctors are starting to do them. There's no foreign blood involved, and it takes less time to recover from surgery. One is called 'cell salvage'. We have many articles, even a few dvds, with doctor's opinions and statements, supporting non blood surgery.

Karina, can I just say- you are one faithful JW. Congrats! I am a JW too
I thought the abstaining from blood referred to not eating meat with the blood in it.
