"Supporting Free and Informed Choices for Jehovah's Witnesses"

[AJWRB @ajwrb]

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of children/adults owe their lives to the prompt intervention of doctors, hospitals, and judges. #jehovahswitness #bloodtransfusion https://t.co/Ytb5m0XnFU

@Medzonetv Your hypothetical situation reflects the profound dilemmas faced regularly by clinicians dealing with JW's worldwide. The laws will vary from one jurisdiction to another. I would recommend immediate consult with the medical ethics committee, WT H.I.S, and AJWRB. No easy answers.

The latest article from AJWRB is thought-provoking for anyone associated with a high-control religion. #jehovah #watchtower #bloodtransfusion #jehovahswitnesses https://t.co/tVSSeyVKWm

There is lot of confusion among Jehovah's Witnesses, the public, and the medical community about the new blood policy. This is deeply concerning and potentially tragic. Please educate yourself and others. https://t.co/h7xLxMr4aZ

@adrianariley72 @ListenToVictims @zchance1977 @saniyafatma1278 News flash. Call Watchtower H.I.S. to confirm. JW's accept 100% of blood in fractionated form, as well as whole blood under certain circumstances (PAD). The policy permits many types of blood transfusions. Your advance directive is outdated.

The new policy will save some lives in specific situations. More importantly, it spurs debate and further undermines Watchtower's Biblical argument against blood transfusion. #jw #blood #watchtower https://t.co/byRG0OmTVt

[AJWRB @ajwrb]

@Ozarkdogguy @TheReelRandom It is a fact that some JW's will try to force their views on blood on their non-JW relatives. https://t.co/zuOeCdH2Tq

AJWRB reacts to the Watchtower's updated blood policy for Jehovah's Witnesses. Here's what the medical community needs to know. #blood #jehovah #witnesses https://t.co/k1csT2GrHN

[AJWRB @ajwrb]

@Thazhigilla_ Document the patient's wishes in the medical record. Note who was present when they stated their wishes. Transfuse the patient out of sight of the parents. If they inquire, say that you respect both their wishes and those of their son. Learn more here: https://t.co/h7xLxMr4aZ

Shortly after the birth, I suffered a significant Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). We tried every medication available in the home setting, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop. My condition deteriorated rapidly. https://t.co/UDRPwLp4EJ

The sad reality of having Jehovah's Witness parents. https://t.co/xTny7OLwqm

Patient is a Jehovah’s Witness, hemoglobin of 3.8, actively bleeding, dialysis-dependent.

“Can you do anesthesia?”

“Yes, but he’ll probably die!”

After considering his options, patient decides to accept blood.

First time I’ve seen this happen, but who wants to die? 😂😂

Jehovah's Witness children are indoctrinated from infancy that they must reject a blood transfusion rather than save their own lives. #blood #bloodtransfusion #Watchtower #jehovahswitnesses https://t.co/1iancGoVC2

@VagrantVoy96703 @yoncecapital @weirdbeingg Does a Jehovah’s Witness have a right to let their kids die cause they don’t believe in blood transfusions? Or anti vac parents letting their kids die from preventable diseases?

In Atlanta, Georgia, a beloved woman—a sister, a mother of four adult children, and a wife—lost her life due to a medical crisis that her doctors believed was entirely treatable. #Watchtower #bloodtrasfusion #jehovahswitness https://t.co/gmX2kqClRD
