I have no opinion on any religion as I take people as I find them and JW's have called to my house. I think I had too many problems for them coz they didn't call back after a while ;o) However, would you please answer why they wouldn't donate blood to their kid if the child needed it?
Just curious. It may not even be true but it's what I've heard.
Sorry that it's taken me so long to reply. I researched an answer for you:
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.
Is it normal to be creeped out by Jehovah's Witnessess?
