blood transfusions have been banned by the jehovahs witnesses, whether it be whole or fractional, since 1945. the technicalities surrounding this issue even confuse many die-hard witnesses as this doctrine is in a constant state of flux.

For Centuries...
by jakes infor centuries man has been pre-occupied with predicting the end of the world.throughout history their have been so-called visionaries and prophets that have claimed to have been given divine authority to predict the end.calculating precisely when the world will end has preoccupied a long line of forecasters.from sibyl who predicted the return of nero as the antichrist in 195,to william miller who in the nineteenth century predicted the end to come in 1843. the list of projected ends generated by these doomsdayers is impressive.amongst them the dates 195,500,948,1000,1260,1420,1588,1666,1763,1785,1819,1843,1866,1903,1914 and 1975 rank tops.
these dates have been fervently anticipated and then bitterly mourned.. .
