"Watchtower Comments" Discusses the Jehovah's Witness Confusing Blood Fraction Policy


It is well known that Jehovah's Witnesses don't accept blood transfusions, even if their lives are at risk. What many people don't realise is that this blood policy is much more complex than it appears. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to store their own blood for later use. They cite the Old Testament practice of pouring blood on the ground to claim that blood should not be stored for later reuse, even if it is your own blood. However, Jehovah's Witnesses now allow certain blood fractions that come from stored blood. Furthermore, Jehovah's Witnesses won't donate blood, but many will accept blood fractions (The Watchtower society leaves it up to their conscience. Some will still refuse, just to play it "safe".) that come from the donated blood of others. The following video discusses this confusing policy and provides questions that can be asked of Jehovah's Witnesses when they come to your door.

How many litres of transfused blood does it take to make a certain fraction of blood? How is it possible to approve fractions of blood, when these fractions come from transfused blood? The Watchtower by allowing fractions, they are allowing transfusions of blood, because one can not come without the other.

How many lives have been sacrificed along the way following a confusing blood policy? One,... is too many.
It appears to be leaning towards legal implications of advice and responsibility rather than what the scriptures instruct.

It appears that at one time fractions of blood were not allowed. How many lives could have been saved? Who takes responsibility for changes in the blood policy? What is said to relatives whose family members have died but could be alive today if they had administered blood fractions? It can be said the blood policy has changed. Lives could have been saved.

If it is true the Watchtower Society does not approve transfusions of blood. How is it possible to approve fractions of blood. And if it is true Watchtower members do not donate blood. Yet benefit from non-members donating blood that is put into fractions of blood that members are allowed to have.

Something is wrong here. Lets look at an example of obeying the law of the land. You must not steal, as an example. Someone you know breaks into a Band and steals a huge amount of cash. He offers you some of the cash. You take it knowing is was stolen.

Are you guilty of receiving stolen cash? Yes you are. You knew it was stolen. You received it.

From the Bible's point of view. Why is it that Watchtower members can not donate blood? Is it because the Bible says you can not donate blood?

Then how is it possible for a Watchtower member to benefit from a non-member donating their blood?
Is there any difference in principle to sharing in the stolen cash from the bank in God's eyes?

My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work.
