A member asked:
Can you tell me for what reasons do the jehovah's reject blood transfusions and what treatments do they accept/reject?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bible verses: The sect also used to forbid immunizations, organ transplantation, and aluminum cookware but has reversed their positions. Don't argue with them. It is an ultra-authoritarian sect and members who disagree are "disfellowshipped" and their own families are not allowed to speak to them. JW's may accept certain fractions of blood. Be aware of the terrible pressures these people are under.
