This took place in the 90's? OK, so this just makes me MADD now! So much for the 'worldwide brotherhood' then. Different laws in different countries; different accommodations made by the JW hierarchy as to what constitutes 'violation' of 'God's law' and 'disfellowshipping' offence in different countries.
For someone who has the wherewithal to do a search and info on the different accommodations made by JWs to different countries in which they have 'obtained' 'legal recognition' -unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to access such document, I think this would be a HUGE EYEOPENER to the rank and file about how duplicitous this organization is from the TOP DOWN....and cavorting with the political system ala the 'whore of Babylon' - I remember when to be a Witness meant to follow the Biblical injuction ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD - PERIOD. It's all so different now. No wonder Witnesses as a whole are becoming more and more confounded. It's only those of us on the outside now who SEE THE LIGHT!

I don't know what the facts are concerning this aspect of it, but hasn't the Watchtower been spending millions in lawyers fees for parents right to refuse blood transfusions for children?
Are they tired of the lawsuits thus making a loophole to save them money?
Does this mean they will stop funding lawsuits against doctors and hospitals that rule for the child?
No matter what the truth behind it is, it is a ray of hope for the children.

I know that due to the Bulgaria situation a member accepting a blood transfusion is not disfellowshipped- but rather has voluntarily disassociated him/herself. Their own words are taken at face value (if they admit they did this but claim they are repentant their words are accepted, the same as if they claim they are not repented they have voluntarily given up their status).
Is this the case in the US as well? Globally?

The very last sentence on the HLC-form quoted by Weber reads: " If blood is transfused in an emergency that team of doctors and the clinic have to bear the consequences of their actions."
To me, this sounds like a legal threat.

I know twins who must be at least 13 now who were born premature. In 5 minutes the Doctors had court orders for transfusions- and the family were never questioned or made to feel bad about it. I thought it was always understood that if there was a court order than you had done what you could?

Well this article implies that there was a think tank and it was decided by all parties the best option would be to have a court order for the transfusion. I don't think it has ever been implied that this is an option. It's only a last ditch effort by courts you can't fight. My Mom read it and said, "What the sister said, was true....they did all they could in obedience to the command to abstain from blood.".
