Sacrifice: The Altar of Obedience: Jehovah's Witnesses and Blood Transfusions
In the United States, it is estimated that thousands of Jehovah's Witness' adults and children die for refusing blood transfusions on an annual basis. At this writing, the Watchtower occupies 233 countries where thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions; and yes, countless continue to die.
Because the Watchtower is believed to speak for Jehovah God, the Jehovah's Witnesses render full obedience to Watchtower teaching. To reject the "council" of the Watchtower is to reject the "council" of Jehovah God Himself. This is the authority that drives the Jehovah's Witnesses to unquestioned obedience to the Watchtower organization – even to the point of death.
The purpose of this book is to first help the reader understand how the Watchtower is able to
convince their Witnesses that receiving blood transfusions is a punishable offense sanctioned by Jehovah God; second, to have the Jehovah's Witnesses take a look at the Watchtower's position on this teaching probably never known before; third, to give the Witnesses free-thinking positions to consider.
Jehovah's Witnesses and non-Witnesses alike have the right to refuse medical treatment – even a blood transfusion; however, matters such as this should be made out of one's own free will. No one, including religious institutions (such as the Watchtower Society), has the right to impose their wills on others by the use of guilt and fear – specifically when it comes to choosing medical advice. The purpose of this book is not to convince anyone to take a blood transfusion. The author's focus is to have the reader evaluate the contents, check the citations, come to their own conclusions and make their own decisions.
