If you (or someone) would like to write a letter on that topic, it would be great.
A letter about how there are people in this world who willingly surrender their freedom of conscience? I'll get started on that right away.

Are JWs informed on blood? Do they understand fractions and that it totals a whole unit of blood if added together?"
Would it matter if they did?
I think it would matter to many of them. If nothing else it would give them pause when confronted with the issue by other people. It's silly, this fraction thing, and yet this silliness, this bad joke.... is actually killing people. And the fraction think is one of just several stupid, silly arguments that make up the JW doctrine.
When I was a Witness I certainly thought the blood issue had logic behind it. And in fact, the day I realized it didn't, I told another witness "I'll probably always believe 95% of the things you believe, but we are wrong on blood, it's not excusable, it kills people, and I'll never call myself a Jehovah's Witness again".

It may matter to them, but ultimately the majority of witnesses do as they're told, whether they see the logic in it or not. That's why it's called brainwashing, six.

I've done alot to change stuff, both JW stuff and helping emotionally disturbed kids, etc. I just don't go around crowing @ the top of my lungs about it. So you can take your "Others don't give a flip" and shove it.
Other than that, I dig ya skeeter, and take it too 'em, I'm proud of ya.

I figure that it's called "brainwashing" because of just this sort of reversal-of-logic. If witnesses see their logic as failing, their brainwashing will lose at least some of it's effect.
I don't think Skeeter is suggesting that entire congregations will turn in their DA letters just because of this.
I guess you best get to writin' then eh Six?
That would be a good thing for me to do.
