Actually I prefer this one, although the Gemmel goal has entered the realms of folk legend.

Facts...
- 25% of all Jehovah's witness's (and the rest of us) will need a blood transfusion at so ex point in their lives.
- One donation can save as many as 3 lives.
- My wife's health was transformed and possibly her life saved with a blood transfusion.
Giving blood is one of the single most altruistic and community orientated actions a person can do. Stand up for what is right.

On the contrary great Vince, the blood issue in the case of children or minors is a non issue, its simply out of a parents hands and to therefore hypothesize about it is irrational and illogical and unreasonable. In the case of violence a Christian is allowed to use self defense to protect themselves, what that defense amounts to is a matter of conjecture, however, it is forbidden to take life.
It seems similar to the laws about marijuana in the US where it was vilified early on by one man, a world class assshole named Anslinger who hated Mexicans and blacks and Jazz musicians. So he started a campaign to make grass illegal with the specific purpose to be able to clamp down on Mexicans and Jazz musicians. You can see how well THAT ended.
I was thinking maybe a similar thing happened in JW's early on with blood transfusions where there were some bad blood, literally, given to a child probably and it died and then there was a bad backlash about transfusions in general.
I think there is a parallel with that in Jewish law. In the old days people got sick from eating pigs and so it ended up as a religious law against eating pig in Jewish law.
But of course now we know it had nothing to do with pigs per se that got people sick but a parasite living in the pigs, so now we eliminate the parasite and probably billions of people eat bacon and such every day with no ill effects other than that from eating meat itself.
So was JW religious edict against blood transfusions the result of a death early on using blood?

A Jehova's Witness once told my Mother that she was "the walking dead",
as she required blood transfusions in order to give birth.
I am personally thankful for this advance in medical science, as it granted me a life.
Due to this, I don't understand anyone who argues against blood transfusions.

Originally posted by 64squaresofpainYou retain the right of self determination to take blood transfusions the same as Jehovahs witnesses have the right to desist. What many people are absolutely ignorant of is that there are now due to medical science many alternatives.

I would not describe blood transfusion as an advancement after all they've been around since the 1600's 😲
