Is the Watchtower Society actually
suggesting that through the
transfusion of someone else's blood,
one possesses their personality
traits? Obviously the man referred to
in this story was using his
transfusion as an excuse for his
criminal behavior.

From the excerpts above, it is transparently obvious that the Watchtower Society has
gone "too far" in suggesting it is a violation of God's law for animals to receive a
blood transfusion or suggesting not to purchase pet food or fertilizer containing blood.
If my cat eats a mouse, is she guilty of eating blood and therefore jeopardizing her
chance to live on paradise earth? If God Himself commanded animals not to eat blood
(as the Society so boldly suggests), He would not have created them to do so.

Here is yet another example of the
Watchtower Society going "too far"
by taking God's intended law
entirely out of context. Considering
their view on this matter, could one
conclude that all the materials
(including plywood) used in the
construction of Kingdom Halls are
blood free?

It is obvious that the Watchtower Society has gone too far in their attempts to support
their ban on blood transfusions. Before we continue with this imperative topic, let's
examine some other medical procedures the Watchtower has chosen to ban. The
following information will prove that these teachings are completely non-Biblical and
not from Jehovah.

Are there really any valuable
lessons gained from these
excerpts? Clearly not. Is the
Watchtower Society
suggesting that the cost of
this man's surgery is more
important than the saving of
his life through this vital
medical procedure? Are
they suggesting that serious
doubt should be placed
upon all blood transfusions
even in the face of death?

Similar to all other Watchtower doctrines, this particular teaching has changed.
Jehovah's Witnesses today are free to receive vaccinations and are encouraged to do
so. This view had changed in the 1960's.

So let's get this straight, first the Society taught that the prohibition of vaccinations
was Biblical. Next, "new light" was shed upon the organization to teach that the
prohibition against vaccinations is not Biblical at all. Could one conclude that the
Watchtower Society conveniently changed their doctrine regarding this matter
because the Governing Body and other Watchtower officials needed to receive
vaccinations to fly to foreign lands? Further, since Jehovah's Witnesses firmly
believe the Watchtower Society to be "God's channel of communication", why would
Jehovah outrightly alter his viewpoint on such a matter? This only further solidifies
the fact that God Himself would never bless the efforts of an organization which
outrightly alters His word.

"...Is not the utilizing of the flesh of another human for one's own life cannibalistic?"
It's hard to believe that at one time the Watchtower Society equated organ
transplants with cannibalism. This ban on transplants was presented as God's law,
just as the ban on transfusions, and the verses from Genesis were used to support it.
As we have established, the Watchtower Society's ban on blood transfusions has no
scriptural backing, so a ban on organ transplants is a far cry from what God's word
actually states.

With this strictly enforced yet ever
changing policy on blood, most assume
Jehovah's Witnesses should be vegetarians
to avoid the confusion altogether. But
thankfully, the Watchtower Society
explains to us that the red fluid on meat is
just "extravascular fluid".

In recognition of the fact that Watchtower leaders have no scriptural backing for
the ban on blood, they are forced into printing ludicrous articles to further support
their doctrine. Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to believe that the acceptance of
blood transfusions will always have a negative outcome. Let's review some of the
articles from the Watchtower's past to further solidify the fact that their dogma
goes too far and rests on pure foolishness.

Here is yet another transparent example of the fact that the Watchtower Society's
teachings are man made fabrications, and not God's word. The above passages prove
that Jehovah's Witnesses are now told that there is no Biblical command forbidding
organ transplants. For almost thirteen years Jehovah's organization (the sole
dispenser of truth on earth today), changed their views on such a critical matter. What
about all of those loyal Jehovah's Witnesses who died because of the Watchtower
Society's foolish ban on transplants? Not surprisingly, this "new light" regarding
organ transplants is hardly mentioned within Watchtower publications, in the
attempts to conceal their fabricated teachings, and the deaths of many loyal followers.
So, let's clear this up for the record:

So, let's clear this up for the record:
- The Watchtower Society first banned vaccinations, now they don't.
- Then the Watchtower Society banned transplants, and now they don't.
- But what about the ban on blood transfusions? Will they do away with this one
as well?

Is the Watchtower Society
actually suggesting that it is
wrong for a leech to eat blood,
which is what God Himself had
designed them to do?

This argument has nothing to do with the Watchtower Society's ban on blood
transfusions and nowhere in the Bible or the New World Translation does it mention
the medical use of leeches as they have implied.

In the 1960's, the Watchtower Society pushed their ban toward transplants, claiming
them as cannibalistic. There was absolutely no scriptural backing for this absurd
teaching. But, all loyal followers would adhere to what the Society told them to do,
regardless of one's own personal choice. Not surprisingly, this view changed:

Although the Watchtower Society's original teachings toward vaccinations claimed to
have been taken straight from the Bible, the following article explains that objection
to vaccinations is not at all mentioned in the Bible.

Early Watchtower literature proves
that the Society originally taught
vaccinations are a "direct violation"
of God's law. Do you recall any
mention of vaccinations in Genesis
chapter 9?
