Would a Witness accept a transfusion of artificial blood? Is it still tampering with gods will or is it Ok because its not from another person?

The funniest thing about the 144,000 is that in revelations it's 12 000 people (men?) from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, which is a very literal clan bloodline thing encompassing roughly zero gentiles

Domus posted:One thing I saw Penn Jillette (who can be kind of an rear end in a top hat, but you can't invalidate an idea because of its source) bring up that always stuck with me is that in the bible, god asks Abraham to sacrifice his son. Not for the better of humanity, not even because Issac was evil, but because god said so. So Abraham does, more or less. And this is held up as a good thing. I know it's a metaphor for not questioning God, but that's what I find really scary about Monotheistic religions. You're really supposed to follow exactly what this one deity wants you to, without question, for eternity? This goes double for JW's, because they think Satan is real and is in a war with God. How was Abraham supposed to know that was God's voice, and not Satan pretending to be God? How can you know if you're making a mistake, and misinterpret what God's saying? If you can't question God, what is the mechanism for deciding what's true? The answer is that pre Davidian proto-jews were stone age cave people of a region where some local gods demanded human sacrifice, and any voice that appears out of nowhere and has powers you probably shouldn't piss off Also its anachronistic to say that that story is about monotheists
