That is interesting as Pagandell said, and I too never thought to ask the JWs who came to my house, what is up with that. I always invited them in and we had several long talks. I'm as anti-religion as it gets, but I love sharing spiritual ideas with people, regardless of their philosophical beliefs. But that JW blood transfusion thing... boy, that almost got me saying to them, "Yeah, well, that's just too weird a belief, and now you have to go, goodbye!"
The answer obviously is that the religion says it's okay to eat meat, and not okay to have a transfusion. That's the way it rolls with beliefs. I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to getting answers to analytical and logical questions, from people who hold beliefs not based in anything analytical and logical. Two completely different and incompatible modes of consciousness, really and truly.
