What Will You Do If the Jehovah's Witness Governing Body Says Blood Transfusion Is Now Allowed?

Question

For example, your son, daughter, or any of your love one died due to the doctrine impose by the Jehovah's Witness Governing Body on refusal to transfuse blood. Then suddenly by a turn of event after 20 years the Jehovah's Witness Governing Body lifted the ban and now allowed blood transfusion, what will be you feeling? Before, the Jehovah's Witness Governing Body did not allow vaccination resulting to many death but after many years lifted this practice and allowed it eventually. Don't you think this can happen also to blood transfusion? Think!

Answer 1

Your link says it all, and exposes them for the False religion that they are....I have had a member of my family die due to this edict, and when they change this rule, ( and they will) I am going to sue the Governing Body for costing me a beloved family member.



EDIT: Wake UP Witnesses, they already ARE allowing Blood transfusions. I n Bulgaria, andin Canada...It is a matter of conscience and not a disfellowshipping offense.


LOL....JC will believe ANYTHING that they tell him to believe! That is scary!

Answer 2

@ bar.... has told us, "The Bible says nothing about "rank-and-file" Christians removing those who take the lead. Rather, it counsels obedience to those "governing" us. (Hebrews 13:17) Any member of the governing body who became spiritually corrupted would be removed by the same process that any other Witness who becomes spiritually corrupted is removed." First it is not biblical but then it is biblical, sounds like normal Watchtower double talk. They have finished now with "New Light" as there has been too much of it, now the "Light is getting brighter" is how they are getting new information. When science makes new discoveries, this somehow allows the Watchtower to re-translate, "Abstain for blood" to have new meaning and allow some factions of blood to be injected, but the translation still denies the injecting of other factions. Just like their history of what is and is not allowed, they can not tell you from one minute to the next what the current rules are. Here is the Watchtower’s history on the issue of blood # 1940 Blood transfusions are acceptable # 1945 Blood transfusion are not acceptable # 1956 Blood serums should be treated as blood and are banned # 1958 Blood serums and fractions acceptable # 1959 Storage of own blood unacceptable # 1961 Blood fractions are not acceptable # 1964 Blood fractions are acceptable # 1974 Blood serums are personal choice # 1975 Hemophilia treatments (Factor VII & IX) are not acceptable # 1978 Hemophilia treatments (Factor VII & IX) are acceptable # 1982 Albumin is acceptable # 1983 Hemodilution is acceptable # 1990 Hemodilution is not acceptable (Blood Brochure) # 1995 Hemodilution is acceptable How could they know what is current??

Answer 3

What kool-ade have you been drinking? JWs have never banned vaccinations or anything medical except those using blood. I've been around for 50+ years and know instead of make up stories.

The Governing Body is made up of Jehovah's Witnesses just like the rest of us. It is to the Bible we look to for guidance, not mere men.

The Bible only has a few hard rules for Christian followers of Jehovah. One of them is abstaining from blood. That is not going to change.

I think I know how you messed up so badly. Many years ago, there was a vaccine made from whole blood for some disease. Once it was known, we would not take it. Later it was removed because of bad side effects in favor of one that worked and was without whole blood.

If your delusions were true then why would several JWs be doctors, nurses, surgeons?

Answer 4

due to all the diseases and illnesses that can be transferred through blood and the advances medical geniuses have mastered there is absolutely NO REASON anyone should need blood transfusions. ANY surgery can be done without blood now. my mother had open heart surgery 8 years ago and didn't one drop of blood. why try to keep annoying JW's with this type of stuff. by the way, abstaining from blood is not a doctrine imposed by the society, it is a scriptural LAW given to us by our God Jehovah.

Answer 5

You are not very bright, are you? Enter "bloodless surgery" in google and you'll see how many other people besides JW's that refuse blood. There are tons of no bllod sites out there. It's almost "out of style". Educate yourself. There are so many other options besides blood transfusions, but that is the first option because of the $$$. Also, it forces the doctors to be a little more careful while in surgery.


EDIT: wondering faith...wake up.

There are SEVERAL methods to increase the blood volume.

Ever hear of Ringer's Lactate, Normal Saline, Dextran, Gelatin, Hetastarch? They are all blood volume expanders. These only touch the surface of what can be done instead of blood.

Answer 6

I think most of the JWs would just continue to blindly follow the leaders of the Governing Body. They will just see it as "new light" .

Answer 7

This type of question is asked allot. Reminds me of the questions people ask about, "What if you learn God doesn't exist"?

I will tell you the same thing I have told others on here when they ask questions like that. As a Christian, it is MY duty, no one else's, to decide what I believe based on the Bible.

Answer 8

I am a Jehovah's Witness and I can tell you that most witnesses would feel that the "light" has gotten brighter and it was Jehovah's Will for it to have taken place that way.

As far as I am concerned IF THAT EVER HAPPENED, I would probably leave the organization because I would feel that I had been lied to my whole life and I see NO PROOF in the bible that that is the way GOD operates.

Answer 9

Jehovah's Witnesses never lifted the blood ban, nor did they ban vaccination along ago.

It sad that opposers don't bother looking up information that is not presented on apostate/anti-jehovah's witnesses websites.

Answer 10

It is great to hear a JW say they follow the bible and not an organization. The bible is a subjective book, interpreted by an organization.

The JW's say BTs are a conscience matter and YOU disassociate yourself by taking one. Many JW's are unaware that this is a result of legal recognition in Bulgaria, not New Light. This was a change from previous positions.
I almost lost my wife and mother as a result of not taking a transfusion. Later the belief changed, it was OK to accept components, not whole blood. This my quest for knowledge began.

When one understands that blood is mainly water, but the components are OK, but not whole blood, there is a distinct contradiction. After a loved one dies, some will examine their belief system.

Answer 11

Dear Justyn,

I'm picturing that when (not IF) that happens the world will see a human dominoe picture the likes of which it has never seen before.

All those people who had or were forced to have transfusions against their will (my mom being one of them) will start reclaiming their position amongst the 144,000 going to heaven. Which of course means that all of those who took the coveted positions will have to scramble.

Maybe it won't be like falling dominoes but more like musical chairs.

I say this because many years ago I was assured that my Watchtower witness mom was one of the 144,000 because she was/is a JW and she was born by 1935. But in these past few years she says she is NOT going to heaven. Because neither position is in the least bit biblical I have not asked her what happened. I just know that someone or some organization laid an eternal guilt trip on her.

For His glory,
JOYfilled
