Jehovah`s Witness - Blood Transfussion


Expert: Janko - 8/5/2006

Question

Thanks for your response.
Please read thru this and tell me what you think.

I had a couple of jehovah witnesses actually tell me that blood when broken down into components is not consider the same blood in biblical sense. That is crazy, Components that makes up the blood is still the structures of blood, that was my answer to him. I also had the same jehovah witness make the comparison of eating with feeding thru your veins as such with injecting alcohol into your vains. Did not sound very convincing to me. My thoughts was trying to stuff a bloody meat thru the vain.
You at the other hand did an outstanding job pointing out the reasons for obstaining from all types of blood. Seriously I do obstain from eating blood, because the bible shows us the reason why. For instance when the unblemished meat is killed before the tabernacle the blood is then used for peace and sin offering. It is the way to receive forgiveness for our sins, and that is the reason why we obstain from eating all types of blood. So what happens to those who did an unfamiliar fire away from the tabernacle and drained the blood away from the Lord's tabernacle? You are a minister and you already know that the meat we eat needs to be drained from the sacred blood because it is the way for offering for our forgiveness. And that is the reason why it is considered to be sacred.

What is the difference between feeding thru your vains with feeding thru your mouth. What goes thru the vains has a whole different purpose. Your son already carries your structures in his veins which is the carrier of life. If he already carries your blood in his veins then what is the difference? The veins is just only a medium and the blood is the carrier. I'm pretty sure I don't need to go thru the difference between when feeding thru the mouth with the structures of what is already in your blood an extension to your son's medium (vein), Which is an extension of your love. Christ gave his life thru the sacrifice of his own for us to live, which is the ultimate gift of love. What I don't understand is why history shows that the governing body did allowed this love to be reflected thru the gift of live. And then changed to restricted and now it is a conscience choice. With all due respect that is the reason why I called it a flip flop.
I do understand all the danger of blood transfussion and that is an obvious and legitimate concern. But if my carrier is free of contamination then I will transfer the love to my kids, since it is already part of their components. The carrier that is in your veins is the gift of life and love it stays is your vein. What goes into your mouth is processed differently.
In reference to April 7 celebration WHO-day. Can you please tell me the purpose of JW's presence on this event? It is very confusing to me hearing the presence of JW in this event.
World Health Organization is a programme under the UNITED NATIONS specialized agency. One of the criteria as an Associated NGO with the DPI/UN is to support and respect the principles of the charter of the UN. JW's partaking in this world event shows support for the programme, it's confusing to me. This is access to the World Health Organization Library: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2001/WHO_BCT_01.03.pdf   If you look at page 1 of the introduction, it will show you the purpose of this commemoration.
If you look at page 4: April 7 is a very special happy birthday. If you look at pg45 and pg46, the presence of Jehovah Witnesses in the event.
Can you please clear the presence of jehovah witnesses in this event?

Answer
Hello again,
This event you are speaking about is not something that any
of Jehovah's Witnesses would attend,believe me,I know.I did look at that article and there were no JW's there,and if there were any of us there it wouldn't be in support of such a blasphemous event.Also we consider the United Nations
as the scarlet-colored beast of Revelation,which is in total
opposition to God's Kingdom for true peace and security.Yes I would say you are a confused person and full of many of the misconceptions about who and what we are and do as God's
people.The blood issue is just one of many that people other than us can't seem to comprehend.I'm gonna leave at this;we consider blood to be sacred and should not be used for anything,but poured out on the ground and given gack to the one who gave it,the Life-Giver,Jehovah God,and As I mentioned before only Jesus precious blood can save us,and given in any other way is a sin against God. Thank you,Janko
