samson as all religions do especially the many branches of christianity when their prophecies for the end dont come true they cling to the scriptures and move the date up a 100 more years.The latest end time prediction I have heard of is for the year 2012 to my knowledge it has nothing to do with the Jehovahs witnesses but some christians are starting to believe it.

It has something to do with an ancient mayan calender,I have personally never heard of it till yesterday when I friend of mine brought it to my attention.
Regarding blood transfusions the JW's have come up with a way to allow a no blood method of transfusion.
Bloodless Medicine and Surgery
Some of the Methods
Fluids: Ringer's lactate solution, dextran, hydroxyethyl starch, and others are used to maintain blood volume, preventing hypovolemic shock. Some fluids now being tested can transport oxygen.
Drugs: Genetically engineered proteins can stimulate the production of red blood cells (erythropoietin), blood platelets (interleukin-11), and various white blood cells (GM-CSF, G-CSF). Other medications greatly reduce blood loss during surgery (aprotinin, antifibrinolytics) or help to reduce acute bleeding (desmopressin).
Biological hemostats: Collagen and cellulose woven pads are used to stop bleeding by direct application. Fibrin glues and sealants can plug puncture wounds or cover large areas of bleeding tissue.
Blood salvage: Salvaging machines recover blood that is lost during surgery or trauma. The blood is cleansed and can be returned to the patient in a closed circuit. In extreme cases, liters of blood can be recovered using such a system.
Surgical techniques: Thorough operative planning, including consultation with experienced clinicians, helps the surgical team to avoid complications. Prompt action to stop bleeding is essential. Delays greater than 24 hours can greatly increase patient mortality. Dividing large surgeries into several smaller ones decreases total blood loss.
Surgical tools: Some devices cut and seal blood vessels simultaneously. Other devices can seal bleeding on large areas of tissue. Laparoscopic and minimally invasive instruments allow surgeries to be performed without the blood loss associated with large incisions.
The above information is taken from the JWs official website http://www.watchtower.org/e/20000108/diagram_01.htm One last note:In my view the name Jehovahs witness is a misnomer since they have never seen Jehovah nor witnessed anything he supposedly did.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
