FatfreEk says:..."I have a suspicion and a theory that Aleman is one of us simply posting under a different avatar. .... As a result, lurkers will more frequently be exposed to weak JW positions as compared to the strong rebuttals that are offered here. I'd throw in the intentionally misspelled word or two in most sentences to emphasize how so many JW's lack the basic education that was forced on them by the Society. Just a theory"
****** The reason I'd have to disagree with you on this idea is because I have debated with literally HUNDREDS OF JW's online and dozens of JW's in person since doing my own careful examinations and coming to my own conclusions that the WT Society is WRONG ON BLOOD.
I still receive e-mail notices from Danny Haszard about online JW articles where JW's will often show up and do exactly what Aleman has done here. Which is GET BURIED and then GET OUT OF DODGE.
I was just on Beliefnet a couple weeks ago and the very same thing happened there as well. The JW's always get TROUNCED whenever they try debating blood. And then they find another thread to start on another subject. But the undeniable fact is that they ALWAYS LOSE ON BLOOD.
I am not exaggerating when I tell you what you see here with Aleman, is simply PAR FOR THE COURSE.
Most JW's are not even aware of all the changes and flip flopping with blood, vaccinations, organ transplants etc. Most learn about these things from EX-JW's, as did I.
The other fact is that even the most capable of JW's cannot defend this sorry policy. I have seen Rolf Furuli get buried and then head for the hills when debating blood.
The JW's simply cannot say they "abstain from blood" while also allowing JW's to take FRACTIONS OF BLOOD. Fractions of blood come from one source only; BLOOD ITSELF.
Fractions OF BLOOD.
The JW's were better off just saying no to all blood period. Even then they are completely wrong having misapplied what the bible actually says. But at least they could say they were consistent. By allowing fractions of blood, but at the very same time trying to tell us they fully abstain from blood, they have not only misapplied what the bible says, but are also double standard hypocrites now.
By taking FRACTIONS of blood from the world's blood supply, but not being allowed to donate any blood BACK to this very same blood supply, they have misapplied what the bible says, are double standard hypocrites and also immoral IDIOTS that really seem to lack the most basic of common sense on this issue.
By being allowed to use Hemopure (made from Cow's blood), and being allowed to accept fractions of blood (donated from from other people), but NOT being allowed to even STORE THEIR OWN BLOOD, for ANY emergency use, the JW's have misapplied what the bible says, are double standard hypocrites and also immoral IDIOTS that really seem to lack the most basic of common sense on this issue, and are owners of a policy with more holes than swiss cheese which is a complete embarrassment and black eye to the WT Society by any human that takeS the time to examine it all.
Which is precisely why sorry folks like Aleman are stuck having to defend this gargantuan mess the WTS has created for itself. And the results of such efforts are plain to see for any reasonable person reading this thread or other attempts to debate this same subject elsewhere.
It gets embarrassingly ugly every single time.
The reason most JW's like Aleman deny the facts as they actually are is because it would shoot down the WT Society's ONE TRUE FAITH self applied titles and claims IN A BALL OF FLAMES.
And THAT is just too much to deal with.
So we get what we see right here on this thread. Pathetic attempts to defend this horrendous policy. Questions unanswered. Posted WT Society rhetoric and an unmistakable debate BEATING every single time a JW even bothers to show up.
Some things never change.
