Um, he couldn’t have donated his own blood for a while? IT wouldn’t be as if they’re transfusing someone else’s blood into him.

I’m sorry, but I have a hard time believe that God wanted his face to be disfigured like that. The poor man.

I don’t know the finer points of Jehovah’s Witness theology, but that certainly makes sense to me.

I don’t like it when I see a zit on my face. This is hard to look at.

I’d think that he’d have been able to donate enough blood in a relatively shot amount of time to cover the blood loss when it was initially noticed and relatively small.

I don’t know the finer points either, but I do remember my mother telling me that she had an aunt that broke her hip and died a slow painful death lying on a couch because the beliefs would not allow her to seek medical attention (this was back in the ‘40s).

I hate to ask the obvious, but how can he breathe, see, eat brush his teeth or blow his nose? He should get the surgery and renounce thaty religion Jehovah’s Witness is a crock claiming to be Christian.

Its a good thing he did not get a blood transfusion or God would surely smite him.....but then again maybe this is what getting smited by God looks like

It’s hard to believe that any faith would call it a sin to accept medical help in dealing with such a condition. Cults steeped in legalism do much harm to their followers.

That's right. A transfusion involves a donor and a recipient. If his own blood were stored and used, that would be a refusion.

Where in the Bible does it state that it is wrong to have a transfusion? Because I’ve never come across it.

I never realized people would be willing to suffer so horrifically for beliefs that have no basis at all in Scripture.

Unbelievable.
