Does anyone have a PDF of this that I can look at, apparently it's the answer to why fractions of blood are accepted but not a regular blood transfusion.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have the mag but I cannot see the answer to your question..
It is a series of questions and suitable answers about different things eg
. Q]" Why won't you accept blood transfusions?..........
A] I accept safe transfusions, the kind that don't carry the risk of AIDS. But the Bible says to abstain from blood, so that is where I draw the line"
Pathetic answer really. It would not satisfy a serious questioner.....

Someone on my channel referred me to this as an answer to my question, however if that's all then it is most certainly not an answer to my question.

My response to this canned answer would be as follows:
If I may quote from the source "I accept safe transfusions, the kind that don't carry the risk of AIDS. But the Bible says to abstain from blood, so that is where I draw the line". Unfortunately transfusions of blood fractions carry the same risk of contracting AIDS as regular blood transfusions. It also doesn't explain why fractions are acceptable but a regular blood transfusion itself a fraction is not. Where is? the line when blood is not considered blood anymore?
