Despite the Jehovah's Witness alleged position (repeatedly stated in this forum by robbie carrobie) of blood transfusions being "a matter of personal conscience", the real experience of life inside the cult is somewhat different as the religious pressure by the governing body to conform to its pernicious doctrines continues to endanger lives. In this South African incident a young girl's life was saved by legal intervention to force a blood transfusion against the parents wishes. Clearly, being "a matter of conscience" is not sufficient.
