    The thing about blood transfusions is; If it is against God's law, so what?

    Has the ground opened up and swallowed anyone who took blood? Has anyone been struck by lightning or gotten leprosy for taking blood? I don't think so.

    People receive blood and they live their life and then die normally, and the belief is that they won't get a resurrection. No big deal.

    Refusing blood and the person dies and they have a hope for the resurrection; but it hasn't happened yet. So put one's in today, not the unknown future.

    Calm down Beth, he’s a married man.

    Besides, it’s an entirely inaccurate pic.

    Rutherford would’ve demanded a much bigger bottle.

    HEMOGLOBIN BASED PRODUCTS ARE MADE FROM WHAT?

    It is typically obtained from donated blood that has expired before it is used. Other sources of hemoglobin come from spent animal blood. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2738310/

    Yet in the November 2006 the Kingdom Ministry had this.

    “RED CELLS

    HEMOGLOBIN​—33% OF RED CELLS

    A protein that transports oxygen throughout the body and carbon dioxide to the lungs. Products being developed from human or animal hemoglobin could be used to treat patients with acute anemia or massive blood loss.

    ____ I accept hemoglobin

    or

    ____ I refuse hemoglobin

    HEMIN​—LESS THAN 2% OF RED CELLS

    An enzyme inhibitor derived from hemoglobin that is used to treat a group of rare genetic blood disorders (known as porphyria) that affect the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems.

    ____ I accept hemin”

    or

    ____ I refuse
