I'll discuss anything you want to know about why I, a Jehovah's Witness, will not take blood and what it means to me for my eternal future. What I will not discuss is judging what another's eternal future is based on if they take blood or not.Sherlock Holmes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:40 pm Very well, so you do not wish to discuss the matter any further.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses And Blood
Post #17But it does speak about blood. You can't have a blood transfusion without blood, so what scripture has to say on the matter is relevant. And the bible is unambiguous on this: We must abstain from blood. How do you suppose one abstains from blood while transfusing it into one's body?Sherlock Holmes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:53 am
This is patently untrue, the Greek NT text says nothing about blood transfusions.

Post #19Likewise you can't eat meat without eating blood, so by your reasoning one must avoid all meats, even fish. Clearly then since meat is not explicitly prohibited and transfusion is not explicitly prohibited, "abstain" must mean something other than total avoidance.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 1:20 amBut it does speak about blood.
