Is there such a thing as dispensation for blood use?
by bythesea ini was talking with "worldly" friends the other day and they mentioned a jw friend they knew who recently had some serious surgery and received a special dispensation so that she could have blood for this surgery.
that's what they claim she told my friends....the husband is an elder, and it was suggested that through his contacts that he was able to get this for her.
i expressed disbelief and have asked my friends to see if they can get more info about her "dispensation" and whether she actually recv'd whole blood or fractions during surgery.

they just act on autopilot and seem for the most part happy.. some feel that government isn't really an interference; the more laws the better!.
some "in the truth" also feel that "whatever mother says is good enough for me".
