Read this and you'll see that although they insist that they do not accept blood transfusions, they've gutted the policy with so many exceptions and changes that you wonder how long it will be before they simply admit that they got it wrong.
Jehovah's Witnesses [and Wrote:Blood Transfusions]What is generally unknown is that over its history the Watchtower Society has made a virtual 360 degree turn on their acceptance of blood products.
So they made a 180 degree turn and accepted blood transfusions at some point in time, only to make another 180 back to not accepting them???
