I’ve watched the terrible destruction of families at the hands of this cult for decades. While Leviticus 17 is used often to justify not accepting blood transfusions, other scriptures they twist like 144,000 etc. and John 1:1 where they reduce Jesus down to one of many gods, not on pare with Almighty God. While they profess love they rarely walk that love. The Bible teaches “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Matthew 7:16. I’ve witnessed as my wicked BIL was party to kicking my beautiful SIL out of the JWs when ready to give birth saying she had an affair. Her last baby looked more like him than their other two. He had multiple affairs, but because he was a male, that didn’t matter. I’ve seen my Sisters husbands brother threaten his parents that if they didn’t join, they would never see their grandchildren again. And after my Father died, my Mother was receiving JWs pamphlets and when I asked were they visiting, she replied they had been. Knowing what destruction they had caused over years in my own immediate family, I stepped in and told them not to visit in her vulnerable state. They ignored me. I called after speaking to the police and told them if they stepped onto her property again, they would be charged with harassment. While we lived close by - 2 minutes by car - for a time she came to live with us. They will latch on and I’ve noticed they will always visit relentlessly after a death in a family. It’s as if they scan the ‘death notices’ in the local newspaper.
this is the scriptural premise JWs use for refusing blood transfusions - Leviticus 17
