Acts 15:20 clearly states “abstain from … blood.” There are numerous scriptures in the Bible that support the idea that blood is sacret and should be avoided.

This marked a dramatic departure from the established policy – one that medical professionals relied upon in assessing the actual wishes of an unconscious Jehovah’s Witness who showed up at the emergency room. Why was this done? Note the following: I have no dog in this fight about JW and religious beliefs. Bible is very clear that the original sin was judgement. All choices are conscience. We all pay the cost of our choice. A personal religious choice is equally as valid as a patriot sacrifice. I personally am not going to die for old bankers fighting over oil, while standing under a colorful sheet blowing in the wind, but to each their own beliefs.Rao, S., Jollins, J., Harrington, R., Granger, C., Newby, K., Linblad, L., Piper, K., . . .

Whether whole or fractional, one’s own or someone else’s, transfused or injected, it is wrong.”– The Watchtower 09/15/1961 p. 559 Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a Christian group that does not allow blood transfusion. It is a general practice for adult Witnesses to carry on their person a wallet-sized advance directive card refusing blood. The blood refusal card directs that no blood is to be given to the owner under any circumstance, even if physicians believe transfusion will be lifesaving. Although the card claims to refuse blood on a religious basis, it also states that there are various dangers associated with blood. The possibility that in an emergency the dangers of blood may be relatively small, as compared with the likelihood of death due to exsanguination without blood, is not noted on the card. Emergency physicians should look for evidence of an informed refusal when evaluating these documents. Advance directives regarding life and death decisions should be subject to scrutiny and not be automatically accepted at face value. A goodfaith decision to transfuse the unconscious adult Jehovah's Witness, in emergent need of blood, is justified if the patient does not have a blood refusal advance directive that is informed and otherwise survives a high level of scrutiny. The ethical and medicolegal considerations upon which this thesis is based are discussed. Bayer (BAYRY) just paid “tens of millions” of dollars to end a three-decade long scandal in which the company sold HIV-contaminated blood products to haemophiliacs, thousands of whom later died of AIDS Under the new arrangement announced in 2004, the elders would only have to make one thorough sweep of the congregation members to insure their permanent compliance and eliminate this hugely embarrassing situation.Nursing is also inserviced by yours truly. The inservice includes some legal facts and scenarios whereby they come to understand that a untoward patient event due to mislabeling will result in a non-defenseable legal issue that will most likely result in the loss of their license and possible personal lawsuit for gross negligence. I created a special bright yellow label for nursing to use just for BBK samples: all information prompts are on the label along with the statement that only information from the armband is used. Nurses sign an affadavit that they understand the policy. Halabi, W. J., Jafari, M. D., Nguyen, V. Q., Carmichael, J. C., Mills, S., Pigazzi, A., Stamos, M. J. (2013).

I would like to see you include in your science a balanced perspective on the greed and filth of pharma companies.Findley LJ, Redstone PM (March 1982). “Blood transfusion in adult Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Based on the latest findings of mRna shots also called “covid vaccines” and persistent spike proteins causing blood clots, I’m curious on the science of cleaning volunteered blood of these prion spikes. For these reasons, we believe that it is incumbent upon emergency room physicians to verbally verify the level of commitment to the current Watchtower policy. Especially in view of the fact that it is well-known a significant percentage of Jehovah’s Witness secretly oppose the policy and feel coerced into carrying the blood card or risk exposure as apostates with subsequent shunning.1,2,3,4 Finally! Someone who answered my original question! Thank you! I made a copy of your reply and plan to use it along with statements from some of our floor nurses who really do just happen to appreciate the band system. They feel it makes them more secure. Yeah, it's true.Williams, S. C. P. (2013, Spring) Against the flow – what’s behind the decline in blood transfusions? Stanford Medicine. Retrieved from http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2013spring/article5.html#hdr Reply The current blood card, or “Medical Directive” is no longer able to make the same uncompromising statement. Why? Because the Society has gradually modified its once firm position, and now allows every part of the blood to be transfused or injected if sufficiently fractionated. A doctrine that made little sense to begin with, now makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Are you still carrying this document in your wallet? If so, why? It may well become a warrant for your untimely death. Children of Jehovah’s Witnesses, though not even baptized, are called upon to carry a similar card:
