Many JWs, who say they refuse blood believing it is their own conscience alone and not that of the Watchtower.
Yet when informed by Hospital Liason elders, that the "society" now leaves certain blood products down to their own conscience(meaning that you wont get expelled)
Inevitably will then accept this blood product, and consider it as new light a concession from God.
But Ask: Who's conscience is being exercised when this happens?
To a degree, conscience is shaped on trust.
*** w61 9/15. p559 Respect for the Sanctity of Blood ***
19 In view of the emphasis put on the use of blood in the medical world, new treatments involving its use are constantly being recommended. But regardless of whether it is whole blood or a blood fraction, whether it is blood taken from one’s own body or that taken from someone else, whether it is administered as a transfusion or as an injection, the divine law applies. God has not given man blood to use as he might use other substances; he requires respect for the sanctity of blood
On Vaccinations

Do you think it was wise and beneficial to have put trust in those words back then?
“Anyone inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers his steps.”—Proverbs 14:15.
