The blood transfusion issue is a hot item, even though the Watchtower has practically allowed all 'parts' of the blood individually, just not together! Doesn't the Bible clearly state to "pour ALL the blood onto the ground and cover it with dust because to Jehovah the life blood belongs"?
So, how can the Watchtower execs allow most of the parts of blood which they euphemistically call "blood fractions" YET forbid "whole blood"? Isn't it all sacred to Jehovah,or is this a legal ruse to keep from being sued? Remember thousands of devout obedient Jehovah's Witnesses have DIED for this blood stance.
