The Watchtower forked tongue is evident when, after acknowledging blood transfusion is therapy as the only viable treatment to preserving life in a specific patient presentation, its official representative states things such as:
“We, too, like the author, would never recommend that the child be allowed to die.”—Eugene Rosam, Director of Hospital Information Services at Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, H E C Forum, 1996; 8(4) p 208
“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
Shane Brady does not represent the interests of the parents or the children. He represents the interest of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc. If anyone doubts this all they need to do is ask him whether his services for these parents would continue if they chose to allow blood transfusion.
I agree with the actual written words from Eugene Rosam. No reasonable person would want to support a religious belief that is interpreted as bringing death to children. Admittedly, the Watchtower states, “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) So, as it turns out, no one has to interpret the religious belief of the Watchtower as to whether it brings death to children—the Watchtower organization has admits it brings death to children! Hence, according to fellow Watchtower rep. Eugene Rosam, Shane Brady and the Watchtower organization are unreasonable.
