What is it about we are all free moral agents with recourse to the faculty of conscience that you are having trouble with?

robbie why not have the courage to say according to my religion blood transfusion is wrong.
I would not have a transfusion nor would I permit my children wife etc to have one.
If I did I would be disfellowshipped by the tribal elders and my life would crumble.

People will think you are a couple of waves short of a ship wreck but at least admire you for telling the truth.

As Dive said there are many JW who have died or the court has stepped in to save them over this issue.

We all know what your stance is.We are just amused by your attempts to not tell us.

Weasel words only work for so long.

Come on unburden yourself. We wont hate you if you tell the truth.

It is not our religion that prohibits blood transfusions but rather our Creator who does in the Bible. Perhaps youdo not believe the Bible. That's your choice.
Also, JW s do not disfellowship for having a blood transfusion.

God created us with freedom to choose.
We can choose right or wrong.
Adam chose wrong and is the only reason we are discussing these obvious issues.
we can still choose right and please our Creator.
(Proverbs 27:11) Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me.

There was no such thing as blood transfusions when the bible was written.
You cant prohibit something that is not possible (at the time)

All creatures are programmed to choose life.
Why is choosing a transfusion wrong ?

And yet, when asked repeatedly to quote the bible on blood transfusions, you can't. You just point to something about animal sacrifices and blood rites.

in my understanding "free moral agency" needs to be employed to demonstrate a willingness to allign one's will with "God's"


edit:or an expression of "original thinking"
