I think I can say on behalf of Lee Elder that the purpose of AJWRB is to set the record straight
on blood. The WTS has misrepresented what the Bible says about blood use and the WTS has
obfuscated the issue with a great deal of misinformation. On top of that the WTS has formed
Hospital Liaison Committees to try and force its policies on its members.
Therefore, AJWRB is interested in education of JWs, former JWs, physicians and surgeons,
and other interested individuals. If an active JW wants to alter his or her relationship with
the JW community after being informed of the information that the AJWRB makes available
that is their prerogative. In an ideal situation the WTS would reform its dogma on blood and
that seems to be happening slowly, though the WTS will probably never admit that it now
permits every part (fraction) of blood.
