Should a JW utilize the services of a hospital sponsored or owned by another religion?

[Guest Nicole]

Wouldn't that constitute "touching the unclean thing" and not "getting out of her"?

From what I've seen in the WTS publications, it's fine as long as the hospital respects the medical beliefs of JWs.

And, really, until the WTS sponsors and owns its own hospital, what other choice do JWs have.

Matter of individual conscience, I can't see any difference in deciding to accept medical care from "Caesar" myself.

This leads me to the question of :

Should a jw use blood, or even fractions of blood, if they are not willing to donate blood? 

Kinda hypocritical isn't it?

Opinion again. Completely a matter of personal conscience.

It's personal conscience to be hypocritical,  I agree. Take what you can from others and never give into that in which you take. Hmmmm.

As a young man, I spent a bit of time in Catholic Hospitals, as they were the best available, and close to home .... and I have never had ANY one disrespect or not honor my request for no blood or blood fractions.

I paid for the services .... no more a violation of protocol than if I was, as an example,   a furnace installer, and being paid to install a heating unit in a Catholic church.

Besides... as sick as I was, that statue they universally had nailed to the cross across from the foot of my bed, looked a lot sicker and emaciated than I did, and that cheered me up!
