Donate Blood and Get a Chance to Win a $100 Gas Card
The American Red Cross Northern California Blood Services Region will be giving away a $100 gas card every day through the rest of the month.
Information received from the American Red Cross -
From now through Sept. 30, all presenting whole blood and double red cell donors who fill out an entry card at any Northern California Blood Services Region donor center or mobile blood drive (excluding high school and college blood drives) will be entered in a daily drawing for a $100 gas card.
“At a time when gas prices are about $4 a gallon, we’re pleased to reward donors with a chance to win a gas card and fill their tank on us,” said region CEO Jeff Meyer.
The Northern California Region has blood donation centers located in Oakland (6230 Claremont Avenue), Pleasant Hill (140 Gregory Lane), Pleasanton (5556-B Springdale Avenue), Newark (39227 Cedar Boulevard) and San Jose (2731 N. First Street).

Tens of thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses have NOT perished due to their scriptural stand over blood transfusion. This MYTH has been spread over the internet by disgruntled individuals who have a beef with the Watchtower.
Try to track down "hospital records" stating that one has died from not taking blood and you will get nowhere. Why, hospitals view your and my records as confidential.
Trying to prove false claims of deaths from not taking blood is like looking for aliens from the Roswell "UFO" crash.
Obsession keeps these rumors going " not facts".

Dream on Jay, dream on. Call people names and put them down. You never even worked at Watchtower headquarters... what do you know about ANYTHING related to their inner policies? If the current masters of the current Watchtower policy on blood, Gene Smalley and Fred Rusk were to die, and the attorneys breathed a sigh of relief because they are no longer bloodguilty for the deaths of thousands, you would change your tune in a heartbeat. Whatever mother says, Jay does. www.AJWRB.ORG. Now come on, take a shot at me, it's the only tool you have left in your bookbag.

Jehovah's Witnesses take blood.
They take all fractions of blood. This includes hemoglobin, albumin, clotting factors, cryosupernatant and cryopoor too, and many, many, others. If one adds up all the blood fractions the JWs takes, it equals a whole unit of blood. Any, many of these fractions are made from thousands upon thousands of units of donated blood.
Jehovah's Witnesses also take whole blood, as long as it's called "curent therapy." This is something not found in medical literature, per se. But, it is described by the religion as a taking of blood from a person, mixing it with compounds in a lab, and later retransfusing the blood back into the patient. So, it appears that JWs can have their blood separated from their body and later reuse it too.
If this doesn't sound "bloodless" to any of you reading it, it's not. And, the result is that the JWs are questioning their religion's requirement that they not take a blood transfusion. JWs face being shunned if they do take whole blood, red blood, white blood, or plasma. This shunning is severe and is a complete cutting off from their super close community of friends and relatives. It also includes them losing their job.
JWs have to choose between this life or the next, and meandor through a religion's not very straightforward blood ban.
