I dont know what he is talking about when he says thousands of deaths. While i am skeptical on the blood tranfusion issuke i hope he is not talking about their persecusion in ww2 and in other areas. The reason they were persecuted then was the same reaso jews gaysgypsies and others were. Cruel regimes. You may have insulted all of these groups. Maybe you should do your homework.

I feel the WTBS is blood guilty because of their flip floping on blood products...."you can't have vaccine if it has blood in it" ok so here I am in the early part of the 20th century and I obey the WTBS......then all of a sudden theirs an influenza that's killing millions but a vaccine would save your life but myself and thousands of other "faithful" Jw's die.Guess what? the very next day the GB decide it's ok to have a vaccine with blood in it...OOPS!!

QUESTION: Why do you and all the rest of Jehovah's witness conveniently forget the very next verse in Leviticus17:14 of which I'll remind you says...(15)And every person who eats what dies of itself or what is torn by beasts(bloody), whether he is a native or a sojourner, shall wash his clothes and bath himself in water and be unclean until the evening; THEN HE SHALL BE CLEAN. LEVITICUS17:15

What does the Watchtower's bible version say in Leviticus 17:15,16?

[MrZetterlund777]

@gelonat Actually, yes. This is why traditional Christian religions such as Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity belive in the Real Presence:"Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body." -1 Cor. 11:27-29

"YOU must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh" By God saying in Leviticus 17:14. "blood any sort of flesh:its means include human blood. If we have experience one of our love ones been hospitalize and still he can't eat..what alternative being done so he can eat or sustain his energy by giving a person a dextrose. by not eating a blood by using mouth and doing same procedure as dextrose in a way we can tell that a person eating blood. yes or no?

Leviticus17:13 As for any man of the sons of Israel or some alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst who in hunting catches a wild beast or a fowl that may be eaten, he must in that case pour its blood out and cover it with dust. 14 For the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it. Consequently I said to the sons of Israel: “YOU must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.”

Acts 15:28" For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to YOU, except these necessary things, 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!”

Genesis 9:3,3 Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for YOU. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to YOU. 4 Only flesh with its soul—its blood—YOU must not eat.

Acts 15:19 Hence my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, 20 but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood
