Question by CanadianFundamentalist: Another Question about JW’s and blood…?
Hi, I’m Phil.
I’m a rather young (15 yrs) Christian, and I have questions about JW’s and their views on blood transfusions.
“Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?”
(Luke 14:5)
Does this mean that you are to disregard minor, relatively “trivial” rules in the Bible in cases of dire need?
What about blood transfusions? Shouldn’t the rule about “eating blood” be disregarded when a person’s LIFE is in danger?
Doesn’t it seem that if this were true, God would have little regard or care for a person’s life?
Wasn’t the Salvation of Mankind brought about through the shedding of the Blood of Jesus? Are we not to remember him by symbollically “drinking his blood” during communion?
And does putting blood in your vessles really count as “eating”?
Just wondering…
Any answers appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
They don’t do communion?
Oh, so they edited out the last supper?
“There are, in fact, more health risks from having a blood transfusion that from not having a transfusion”
That’s tosh; my life was saved by a blood transfusion when I was eight.
They are a better alternative than letting your child bleed to death.

Remember different religions have different beliefs. JWs don’t do communion!
