From what I understand they would be upset about it happening, maybe happy to be alive but upset that they had blood from someone else. Here I think they wear little bracelets that say they are Jehovah Witness so people know not to do it. And yes I think there is some form of punishment, but it happens after life I might be wrong about that though.

To me it is all religious bollocks that has caused people to die who could have been saved, children can't pick their religion but can get stuck in one that can kill them. Makes me mad and sad at the same time when I hear about a child in hospital and the family refusing life saving treatment for religious reasons.

However, I'm not sure about a JW having a blood transfusion while unconscious, in terms of punishment. The JW getting the transfusion would probably be upset about it, I imagine. And maybe ask for god's forgiveness of something like that.

It is standard practice to cut off all clothing in the event of serious injury. Interesting to think of a particular person getting angry over a procedure that in all likelihood saved their life. Religion or no.

That is why here I think they wear the medic alert bracelets, they are looked for by all trained first aiders and by paramedics. Still if it it that arm that is missing you might be in for a bit of blood.

Almost all religious people bend the rules to suit whatever it is they are trying to do. Therefore if this happened they would pray for forgiveness and then think they must have satisfied god's desires or some crap like that.

This topic touches on faith healing which I think should be punished by law. I know there are law suits against negligent parents, spouses or family members but I seem to remember that actually most of them receive a reduced sentence or are given leniency as a result of their beliefs.

The link below is to an interesting website that some may have seen before called whats the harm. It has examples of how strange or religious beliefs actually can affect or kill people...
