Blood Transfusion
22 Answers
can goodlife, or anyone else, explain exactly the JW policy on blood transfusion?
I believe (but may be wrong) that they will accept constituent parts of blood, if so which parts and why?
Do JWs accept organ donation? Again, if so and why (organs contain blood)
Why do JWs eat meat when meat contains blood?
Im genuinely trying to understand the ins and outs of this.
Thanks.

I doubt if you will get an honest answer from goodlife or anybody else within the Jehovahs witness religion. Over the years they have done a 360 degree turn, pre 1945, minor blood fractions allowed, 1945-1982 not allowed, 1982-2000 some fractions allowed, 2000 on, allowed. This is a pick and mix religion.
The answer has already been given, check out the website JW.org.
I doubt if you would get an accurate answer from Vulcan. He thinks he knows, but in actual fact he knows absolutely nothing.
There has been no change in the thinking on blood by JW regardless of what has been said. As medical science advances, then so does the need for advancement in medical practices. Doctors themselves now know that blood is dangerous medicine and various procedures have been implimented that reduce bleeding during major operations.
As to eating meat. JWs only eat meat that has been bled correctly, certainly we would not eat meat that has not been killed in a manner that all blood is drained.
Also today, even though the word “interfaith” is not in the Bible, true Christians are found following Christian principles and are not in the interfaith movements, ministerial alliances or compromising church councils. We will not take any part in the conglomeration of divided false religions now so popular in this world. Why not? Because we reason on Bible principles and understand the position of a Christian in this world. As Christians we must keep clean and never compromise God’s righteous principles for the sake of being looked on with favor by this world.

Being a True Christian involves everything one does in life. It is not just a matter of believing and preaching certain doctrines and cherishing certain hopes.
No one at first who is learning the truths from God’s Word may be particularly concerned with doctrinal matters, because he finds that what the Bible says exposes false religious teachings that he had been taught, even on Blood.
But as he grows in knowledge and appreciation, he sees that what the Bible outlines is more than a set of doctrines; it is a way of life.
As the scripture means when it says: “Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.”—Prov. 3:5, 6.
