No, that is perhaps Jehovah Witnesses.
As noted by the South Pacific Division of the SDA Church , the Adventist Church
“Adventists promote good health practices, including the use of blood transfusions where the screening of blood is of a safe and high standard. The Sydney Adventist Hospital has its own Pathology Department where patrons can donate blood.”

I was at a law lecture the other day with a guest speaker – the head Roman Catholic Bishop of the City. The topic was religious liberty. He said, ‘I fully support religious liberty, I fully support the right of every Seventh-day Adventist to refuse blood transfusions’. Of course I had to correct him – that he was of course confusing SDAs for JWs.
ReplyDeleteI swear one day I am going to be in an accident and need a life-saving blood transfusion, but the doctor will say, ‘stop, stop, he is a Seventh-day Adventist’. My tombstone will read, ‘died for being confused a Jehovah’s Witness’. SDA
I am sick of people wrongly confusing Seventh-day Adventists with Jehovah's Witnesses. We are totally different religions people!
ReplyDeleteMost people mistakenly take the SDA to be JW, which is totally wrong. There is a big difference between them. Due to certain believes that are common in both. The vital believes of the SDA are far different from the JWs.
