Wait, wait, wait... Are you saying it's just a conscience matter with your parents, or is the policy now that it's a conscience matter? Because when I was in, giving or getting blood was practically unforgivable, and that was just 7 years ago.

My parents told me that the JW's have never forced anyone to put their own life at risk and it's been a 'personal conscience choice for years'. NOT so ... I remember hearing it from the platform many times that having a blood transfusion was a definite no! I think my parents were defending their choice rather than blaming the religion.
