Mr. Tylor,

Apologies for reading your name incorrectly.  

The reason for my mistaking your understanding of Witnesses is that your comments suggest that lack.  

For instance, your comments regarding Witness views on blood transfusions suggests an accentuated concern with the medical benefits.  As one who was a Witness, you would understand that a Witness individually chooses to reject blood, in all its many forms, due to a deep respect for Jehovah's view of blood, being sacred, as well as obedience to the direct commands to abstain.   Even if this means one's risk of dying.  Medical benefits are accompanying benefits, not the reason.  However, medical benefits and the present move away from blood by most medical professionals and science underscores the recurring pattern found in the Bible that obedience to God is always beneficial.  

Additionally, your views on the military and the positions of Jehovah's Witnesses shows a lack of understanding.  You refer to Matthew 8:5-13.
