  Watchtower organization on blood:

  “In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue.”—Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Awake 22, 1995 p 2

  Watchtower representative, Eugene Rosam on blood:

  “No reasonable person would want to support a religious belief that is interpreted as bringing death to children.”—Eugene Rosam, Director of Hospital Information Services at Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, H E C Forum, 1996; 8(4) p 210

  One is left to wonder if author and Jehovah’s Witness, Eugene Rosam knew what religion he was working for. Not only should the doctrinal teaching be interpreted as bringing death to children, it has admittedly brought premature death to children.

  After reading Eugene Rosam’s comments above, I’m left to conclude with the formation of Hospital Information Services department the Watchtower organization must have transferred the controlled substance locker from the infirmary to Rosam’s office! Alternately, Rosam is intoxicated on Watchtower.

  Hmmm... seems to me that Eugene Rosam may have missed a few meetings.

  What he said: No reasonable person would want to support a religious belief that is interpreted as bringing death to children.

  What he thought: No reasonable person would want to support a religious belief that is interpreted as bringing death to children. Even though we don't WANT to support that belief, we HAVE to because that's the teaching handed down to the current generation of Jehovah's Witnesses by that great sage and soothsayer of years gone by, Frederick Franz. Also, we believe that these children's deaths are merely temporary, and serve the purpose of possibly gaining them and their families greater favor with the great God Jehovah, so that these families will be reunited in the New World when everyone else other than Jehovah's Witnesses will have been wiped off the planet.

  More recently, from What Does the Bible Really Teach? (2005)

  *** bh chap. 13 p. 130 par. 15 A Godly View of Life ***

  15

  Would a Christian break God’s law just to stay alive a little longer in this system of things?... We are wise, then, to put our trust in the rightness of God’s law, with full confidence that if we die from any cause, our Life-Giver will remember us in the resurrection and restore to us the precious gift of life.

  Howdy Marvin,

  Alternately, Rosam is intoxicated on Watchtower.

  ......Perhaps he is simply a conscienceless pathological liar like Brown, Malyon and others

  Here is more from the same article,

  Rosam writes:

  “We, too, like the author, would never recommend that the child be allowed to die. What we ask is that the doctor do everything he can to save the life of the child without using a blood transfusion”

  This statement by Rosam comes immediately after his admission that the particular circumstance faced by the particular child in question was one “that we find most difficult to deal with, and admittedly have few answers for.”

  In such a crisis to refuse blood transfusion to the child is to allow the child to die, not to mention the fact that children have actually been allowed to suffer death rather than have blood transfused.

  TD,

  You’re right. The outright liar option I failed to present.
