You may have missed my opening post? This has actually happened to many women I know... They struggle terribly with condemnation over cutting or losing hair related to medical procedures when they are already sick in their bodies and often terribly afraid as death seems much nearer when one has a cancer diagnosis.
It is BECAUSE OF this burden I've seen placed on women that I asked the question. So please do answer and help me and my Christian sisters know how we should view our hair when cutting it or sacrificing it for medical treatment might save our lives.
JD made a great point in that the JWs are, almost to a man, willing to refuse blood...at least until death is near, then a family member usually consents while the patient is unconscious. It's this little niggling doubt that they have that says 'what if I'm wrong and I kill my parent, sibling, child by not allowing them to have blood, even if I would refuse it for myself?'
