i just talk to a couple of my friends in the medical field about JWs and their children. One is in nuclear medicine and the other a pediatrician. The question that I asked was," in the event that a JWs child absolutely and immediately needs a blood transfusion, will the judges back the doctor in...
But as you can see, there are Mosaic laws your church does not follow. This is a good thing.
Eating blood was forbidden, not using it to save a life is never mentioned. The reason I believe blood eating/drinking was prohibited was because it was a pagan ritual.

I'm sorry you feel that doctors are prescribing blood transfusions as if they are handing out candy.
They are the doctors and they have a host of reasons to ask such questions.
Actually, they ask all kinds of questions when someone donates or sells blood. But how would you know, right...

Absolutely, but what we don't want to do is falsely project obscure concepts that make christianity somewhat backwards and dangerous. Quibble over christian celebrations and medical necessities.
Not only do I believe that your church is promoting unnecessary extrapolations, I find the use of...

My apologies to the thread. :o
Good post. I totally agree with you. There are many bomb-slinging, money hoarding so-called christians out there, that it makes it hard to get the true message acrossed.
Perhaps for some, but I started at the starting line.
I see no commandment regarding birthdays or holidays.
The New Testament contains all the rules Christians are to follow. Yes, I use the Old Testament to clarify or further my reference, but I see no prohibition concerning holidays or...
