If a JW is willing to let their kids die over the blood policy, Should their kids be taken from them?

Yes, it's child abuse!

The military is promoting bloodless surgery should they be disbanded? Many new Hospitals are becoming bloodless should they be left empty? Blood transfusions are not the gift of life. Satan is the God of this world (1 John 5:19) and the father of the lie. He has been judged and awaiting execution. Seems like he has enlisted you to help do his dirty work, spreading untruths.

Blood carries deadly disease and is not to used in any way from one person to another. Gods Law. Get educated.

Obviously you did not listen when your mother tried to teach you manners. You don't belittle people because they don't agree with you. Lose your ignorance and be a better person.

This is 2013 and your not up to speed. Note, there are alternatives! This becomes understandable when we review why blood is transfused.

The hemoglobin in the red cells carries oxygen needed for good health and life. So if a person has lost a lot of blood, it might seem logical just to replace it. Normally you have about 14 or 15 grams of hemoglobin in every 100 cubic centimeters of blood. (Another measure of the concentration is hematocrit, which is commonly about 45 percent.) The accepted “rule” was to transfuse a patient before surgery if his hemoglobin was below 10 (or 30 percent hematocrit). We have had blood alternatives for years. It's people like you who are not up to speed who attempt to cause contention between different religious groups and you should not do it. Just a friendly heads up.You are going to be reported by someone if you keep acting like a child and call people names.

Blood related diseases are so preelent that patients will die of the diseases rather than their medical condition.Though most surgeons have claimed that they gave blood only when absolutely necessary, after the AIDS epidemic arose their use of blood dropped rapidly.

**HERE ARE YOUR SECULAR WRITING YOU REQUESTED*****

Blood-borne disease worries conscientious physicians and many patients. Which disease? Frankly, you cannot limit it just to one; there are indeed many.

After discussing the more well-known diseases, Techniques of Blood Transfusion (1982) addresses “other transfusion-associated infectious diseases,” such as syphilis, cytomegalovirus infection, and malaria. It then says: “Several other diseases have also been reported to be transmitted by blood transfusion, including herpes virus infections, infectious mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus), toxoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis [African sleeping sickness and Chagas’ disease], leishmaniasis, brucellosis [undulant fever], typhus, filariasis, measles, salmonellosis, and Colorado tick fever.”

Actually, the list of such diseases is growing. You may have read headlines such as “Lyme Disease From a Transfusion? It’s Unlikely, but Experts Are Wary.” How safe is blood from someone testing positive for Lyme disease? A panel of health officials were asked if they would accept such blood. “All of them answered no, although no one recommended discarding blood from such donors.” How should the public feel about banked blood that experts themselves would not accept?—The New York Times, July 18, 1989.

A second reason for concern is that blood collected in one land where a certain disease abounds may be used far away, where neither the public nor the physicians are alert to the danger. With today’s increase in travel, including refugees and immigrants, the risk is growing that a strange disease may be in a blood product.

Moreover, a specialist in infectious diseases warned: “The blood supply may have to be screened to prevent transmission of several disorders that were not previously considered infectious, including leukemia, lymphoma, and dementia [or Alzheimer’s disease].”—Transfusion Medicine Reviews, January 1989.

Chilling as these risks are, others have created much wider fear. *Your name right for freedom is very hypocritical. Your taking our rights to worship and obey devine law away from us.

Are you from the 1940's?

Come on, get with the program!

What you describe just doesn't happen anymore .....unless the doctor is back in the 40's, as well.

Thanks to diligent work, instigated by JW's, that is an issue of the past.

I'm not sure I agree with you that this is an actual problem, but if it is, I'd treat it as negligent homicide and jail the parents.

tell them that JESUS said; the Life is in the Blood.

So they are an Anti- Christ if they choose to disregard the words of CHRIST.

A blood transfusion is a MUST to sustain life in a child, therefore they must be arrested , fined or put in prison for their arrogant stance Their ignorance of TRUTH.

Why would you think I want my child to die? We love our children. There are many options we can use instead of blood.

Look up englewood hospital, nj bloodless surgery program. Many hospitals today offer alternatives and they have found the patients who don't use blood recuperate faster and don't get contaminated w/hepatitis and many other illnesses contained in the blood.

Since its inception in 1994, The Institute for Patient Blood Management and Bloodless Medicine and Surgery at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center has established itself as a world-recognized leader in patient blood management.

Physicians from every discipline have been specially trained and practice bloodless medicine and surgery at the Institute. Tens of thousands of patients from the US and abroad have received medical treatment and undergone highly complex procedures such as brain, open-heart, orthopedic and gastrointestinal surgeries without blood transfusions at Englewood Hospital.

Medical professionals from leading institutions across the country and throughout the world have come to the Medical Center to learn how our physicians use proven, effective alternatives to blood transfusion to improve patient outcomes. The U.S. government as well as governments of other countries have consulted with Englewood Hospital to learn how to apply blood management techniques in dealing with catastrophic situations when little or no blood is available.

We don't want our children to die. I don't have any children at this time but I wouldn't want my friends' children to die or anyone else's.

We have many alternatives and non-blood treatment can be a lot more beneficial than blood treatment. It is growing constantly in this world and becoming more popular among non-JW's too.

What the hell are you talking about.

Not as long as we have a constitution. These people need to be reached and taught the truth. Unfortunately, too many Christians have made the Bible irrelevant.

What kind of dumb question is this, on to the next completely obvious question.
