because of ambiguity in the Bible
i keep seeing this sentence over and over again.
the bible? ambiguous? nah... can't be.
and gregor, holy crap, you totally had me going there. "what, wits swearing in a released statement? This must truly be the end of the system."
Gumbers said: We just had a ex Witness meeting here and so far we got three guesses to get early time recorded.
1. Blood medical treatment guidelines change or go away.
2. The donation arrangement goes away and charging for books and items comes back.
3. Disfellowshipping and shunning changed or done away with. I'm betting on #1 and I'll put $20 bucks on it. Any takers?
Geeze Gumbaby.......looks like I might owe you 20 bucks after all. Will you take that in sexual favours Canadian dollars?
Another issue with the Jehovah's Witness's printed misrepresentation of medical facts as reasons for refusing prescribed blood medical treatment that I haven't seen addressed is this: That is the real possibility that a non-Witness, non-religious person may accept the Witness produced blood brochure's medical reasons to reject prescribed blood medical treatment and suffer damage.
I may still be shadow boxing here.
I'll take the $20 in your first choice Mary
Gumby
Now THAT is GOOD NEWS!!!!!
Gregor,
Excellent!!
You are very clever, I was reading with glee and now at 1:14 AM I am LOL and tears running down my face that is just too funny will have to cut and paste this one to send to friends.
I've got to go to bed its late but what a good note to end the day on. Wish I could have given it to the car group I saw today.
It took them almost half hour to drive up to a return visit, eventually get out of car, knock on door, leave a note and drive off. You know how busy those Saturday morning service hours are preaching the good news to the entire earth.
Good Night (or morning)

Jehovah's Witnesses to issue new blood directive 
Detroit News - 3 minutes ago NEW YORK -- Jehovah's Witnesses are renowned for teaching that Jesus is not God and that the world as we know it will soon end. But another unusual belief causes even more entanglements -- namely, that God forbids blood transfusions even when lives are at stake.
Jehovah's Witnesses to issue new blood directive
The doctrine could create confusion about medical therapies using blood 'fractions.'

NEW YORK -- Jehovah's Witnesses are renowned for teaching that Jesus is not God and that the world as we know it will soon end. But another unusual belief causes even more entanglements -- namely, that God forbids blood transfusions even when lives are at stake.
The doctrine's importance will be underscored this week as elders who lead more than 98,000 congregations worldwide recite a new five-page blood directive from headquarters.
The tightly disciplined denomination believes the Bible forbids transfusions, although specifics have gradually been eased over the years. Raymond Franz, a defector from the all-powerful Governing Body that sets policies for the faith, thinks leaders hesitate to go further for fear that elimination of the ban would expose the organization to millions of dollars in legal liability over past medical cases.
The Witnesses have opposed transfusions of whole blood since 1945. A later pronouncement barred transfusions of blood's "primary components," meaning red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma.
An announcement in 2000 in the official Watchtower magazine, however, said that because of ambiguity in the Bible, individuals are free to decide about therapies using the biological compounds that make up the four blood components, such as gamma globulin and clotting factors that counteract hemophilia.
The new directive could create confusion about these compounds, known as blood "fractions."
Witnesses headquarters refused an Associated Press request to interview an expert on beliefs about blood. Instead, General Counsel Philip Brumley issued a prepared statement.
"Any argument challenging the validity of this religious belief inappropriately trespasses into profoundly theological and doctrinal matters," Brumley said.

Well they didn't refrain from trespassing into profoundly medical and scientific matters, did they? Anyway, is there a way we can see the entire statement issued by Mr. Brumley? Does anyone have access to it?
Flunky hack General Counsel Philip Brumley who's dat guy?
