Jehovah’s Witnesses Blood Transfusion Confusion

Building on Jim Coufals The Role of Fear and Guilt in Religion, it is a simple fact that the Bible does not prohibit blood transfusions. If you are bleeding to death, it is more dangerous to refuse a blood transfusion than to take one.
Bloodless surgeries are great if they can be elective. One-third of all trauma deaths are from blood loss.
Jehovahs Witnesses elders will investigate and disfellowship any Jehovah Witness who takes a blood transfusion; to say the issue is a personal conscience matter is subterfuge to keep the Watchtower out of lawsuits.
..Estimates of the number of men, women and children who have died since the Jehovah Witness blood ban inception in 1945 range between 150,000 and 250,000.

JW is a cult every bit as much as the Mormons. They dont even celebrate a persons birthday because Its not in the Bible and we only celebrate Jesus.Wow

Which issue of your Jehovah’s Witness Watchtower magazine do you say gives this information?

For shame, cronos! When your goading and baiting doesn't work (and it never will with me) you invent quotes for me! At least try to use a tiny bit of imagination since as it is your comments in support of an atheist's blog aren't really worth the candle.

Inveting quotes? I did nothing of the sort, I asked you a simple question: Which issue of your Jehovahs Witness Watchtower magazine do you say gives this information? in response to your statement Try Watchtower.org. Its an official site. Took about 3 seconds to find it.

Then what does this mean from your post #81:
“count-your-change — you don’t celebrate your birthday as we should only celebrate Jesus?”

The Jehovah’s Witness position on banning blood transfusion is wrong. Can you give a Jehovah’s witness point of view on this?

Are those references to back-issues of WatchTower?
Why do you Jehovah's Witnesses treat that magazine like scripture?

#83? It might mean....
If you like questions here’s one for you I’m certain you can answer:
The birthday of what Catholic hero, priest, and abortion supporter is coming up mid November? (Hint, bring a basin of water for hand washing)

Is that a standard Jehovah’s Witness response to point to a Watchtower issue number?

I call it a follow up question as to why you would rely on an atheist’s blog.

You’re using a strawman attack to back up your shaky beliefs now? Shame shame, Brother Count Your Change.
To: count-your-change; NorthStarStateConservative
why the obfuscation and straw-men, cyc? Can’t a Jehovah’s Witness adequately explain why they believe this?

Years ago had a dog - REAL smart dog. Friends coming to the door would get a low woof - early warning door-knocker.
Strangers (deliveries, salesmen, etc.) would get two or three loud barks as they came up the drive.
The first time she went ballistic it was just weird. Constant loud barking, snarls, rushing the door (a big dog), had to grab her by the collar and block her but she kept barking. It was Jehovah Witnesses.
She did that same thing again a year or so later - it was the Mormans. Weirdest thing.
Like I said - she was a smart dog!
