The following words best discribe the leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses and their stance on blood:
Wishy-washy and scatterbrained!

What a resource!
So the Dutch version of 'consolation' differed from the English version? I'd be interested in seeing scans of these.. I wonder if my mom has that book.....

“The Journal of the A. M. A. is the vilest sheet that passes the United States mail…. Nothing new and useful in therapeutics escapes its unqualified condemnation. Its attacks are generally ad hominem. Its editorial columns are largely devoted to character assassination…. Its editor [Morris Fishbein] is of the type of Jew that crucified Jesus Christ.”-
The Golden Age, September 26, 1934
I did not know this quote. It shows a clear antisemitism.
The Editor of the Golden Age, Clayton Woodworth, was more than excentric.

Lee Elder, don't think I saw this nugget of a quote from pg 31 par 10 of 6/1/90 Watchtower QFR:
"Others have felt that a serum (antitoxin), such as immune globulin, containing only a tiny fraction of a donor’s blood plasma and used to bolster their defense against disease, is not the same as a life-sustaining blood transfusion. So their consciences may not forbid them to take immune globulin or similar fractions. They may conclude that for them the decision will rest primarily on whether they are willing to accept any health risks involved in an injection made from others’ blood." (6/1/90 Watchtower QFR pg 31 par 10)
So correct me if I'm wrong, but in the above instance JWs' first concern should be their own health risks and not whether they are violating God's command to abstain from blood. And notice these are...'injections made from others' blood'.
So much for following God's command to pour the blood out and bury it in the ground!!!!
