Thank you Atlantis
It is interesting to see how the doctrine of blood is still being emphasized as well as the monitoring that is being done so that proclaimers adhere without restrictions to this infamous interpretation of a text that is supposed to prohibit the use of blood to preserve one's life expectancy when it applies only to purely food use.
Although this heresy does not seem to disturb the followers who, moreover, talk about it without measuring its scope. They forget too easily that minors who join the group through their baptism (which is debatable on the presumed enlightened will of the said minor) and who have no idea what it means to die because they were taught or indoctrinated that it was forbidden to receive blood (including when hoping to resurrect) do they understand what it means: non-existence.
For young men and women under 18, death is not considered as a game from which one gets up once fallen. They have no idea what death means to them.
They know that people die but they are not affected by it unless it is their loved ones, because it is a moment of sadness that will be forgotten.
Except that in this case it is about them, about their lives which are placed in the hands of skilled manipulators without any compassion except one, this apparent compassion which they diffuse by their media or internally.
There is a difference between the so-called natural death or the one voluntarily chosen and the one resulting from an external influence that can lead to a premature end before its maturity linked to our mortal nature without the said influence being guilty of having been at the origin.
Should we let minors commit themselves to such risks?

Marcial:
Thank you for your comments and well prepared research. I have had JW's write to us and remark how they would travel to a different state and have a blood transfusion.
Some would pay to have a loved one moved to an area where they are not known as JW's and receive a blood transfusion with no regrets at all.
After all, the Tower allows for the "anointed" to get a blood transfusion and they are not disfellowshipped.
Anyone wanting proof of that just let me know and I'll grab you a link and a Cappuccino! Let me know if you want whipped cream with that!

Questions From Readers
● One of Jehovah’s witnesses who claims to be of the anointed remnant recently went to the hospital and took a blood transfusion, voluntarily. Should she be allowed to partake of the emblems of bread and wine at Memorial time?—R. J., United States.
We, of course, regret with you that this sister who professes to be one of the anointed remnant took a blood transfusion voluntarily during her stay in the hospital. We believe that she did the wrong thing contrary to the will of God. However, congregations have never been instructed to disfellowship those who voluntarily take blood transfusions or approve them. We let the judgment of such violators of God’s law concerning the sacredness of blood remain with Jehovah, the Supreme Judge.The only thing that can be done in the cases of individuals like this is to view them as immature and therefore not capable of taking on certain responsibilities, hence refusing to make certain assignments of service to such ones.
Since an individual is not disfellowshiped because of having voluntarily taken a blood transfusion or having approved of a dear one’s accepting a blood transfusion, you have no right to bar this sister from the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. As an anointed member of Christ’s body she is under orders and command by Christ Jesus to partake. Whether she is unfaithful as to what she professes to be by virtue of taking the emblems of the Lord’s Evening Meal is something for Jehovah God to determine himself. His judgment begins at the house of God. It is not for you or anyone serving the Memorial emblems to act as the judge, but to allow the emblems to go to anyone in the audience as these are passed along in the normal manner of letting each one have the opportunity to partake.
