Yes we do.
We believe in any form of treatment that is humanly possible except blood transfusions.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, yes I believe in going to the doctor and taking medicine (if necessary), but we don't believe in blood transfusions because of the Bible's command to "abstain from blood".

I know they don't believe in blood transfusions but as far as I know they have nothing against medicine or going to doctors.

yes they believe in medicine and yes they believe in doctors!
witnesses do not gain knowledge simply through the intellect, they gain it by the way they live thier lives, which includes integrating study, daily practice, and contemplative exercises, they immerse themselves totally in different aspects of thier teachings and from this thier special awareness arises

yes they do to a point. They don't believe in having blood transfusions. I'm not sure what else they don't believe in as far as doctors go.

Yes they do. I used to work with one and he was a diabetic and used insulin. They do not believe in blood transfusions.

I believe they do as long as it doesn't involve a blood transfusion, which they say is drinking blood which
is a sin.
