    Why does the Watch Tower Society not build and operate its own hospitals for its people who refuse to have blood in their treatment programme?

    Surely, if bloodless surgery and treatment is so superior and they could prove it with their own statistics and survival rates they could show that blood should not be used.

    So, what are they afraid of?

    umm, how would there be doctors and surgeons with the no education propaganda going on?

    Because they would have to pay for it. I doubt they could find enough witness surgeons and medical staff to do it for free.

    It could be run privately. They could have ONLY JW doctors and JW patients who would have to PAY, of course!

    Their survival statistics would be fascinating!!

    This would solve a lot of problems while demonstrating "to the world" how being obedient to the WTS interpretation of a dietary law is faring. Much could be said about this same idea when it comes to the JWs children's education.....how the WTS could open schools where JW kiddies would not be subjected to all those evil and demonic influences they have to face in a public setting and ONLY be surrounded by what the WTS deems as "appropriate companions" from the get-go.

    Sunspot - What a wonderful witness that would be!

    Obviously, the Slave is not using his talents wisely and in the fullest sense. What will the Master have to say when he asks for an accounting?

    The WTS should put their money where there mouth is. If no blood is always better and no blood has God's blessings, what a proof they would have with their own hospital for such. Of course, finding JW doctors for such would be difficult as there is almost a ban for college for their young, especially to be doctors. Of course, the greater problem would be for those 'emergency' surgeries and transportation & timeliness realities.

    Because they know what their ER rooms would look like at Armageddon, and the KHs would be right next to the hospitals.

    A similar question could be asked is why the WTS doesn't open their own schools and universities and control the information jw children/adults receive?

    Who would they hire since they discourage their members from getting a higher education. Could they find enough jw doctors and registered nurses to man even one hospital, assuming that there is a variety of doctor abilities?

    I have only known 3 jw doctors and they all were working in the Bethel system.
