I am VERY interested in seeing such a program. I am not involved with them anymore. I was baptized as a JW in 1977 in California. I dropped away, thank goodness. I think the one thing that sealed my decision and made me feel free of that oppressive organization was when I had a tranfusion. It was my own blood. I had donated for myself. I don't know the policy now, but at that time, even a transfusion of one's own saved blood was a big no-no. I have no regrets. I'm alive! I got to finish raising my children and if I"m lucky, I'll live to see Grandchildren.

I cannot imagine that my being dead over blood would have been beneficial to my little children or to my sweet spouse. So, how did I go wrong I'd like to know. What witness among you would rather I was dead and that my children had been motherless?

I have since donated blood. Like I said, no regrets.
