I knew about it but I didn't worry because I thought it was unlikely that I would ever need an organ transplant. Just goes to say my critical thinking was totally turned off and I didn't consider the implications for those requiring a transplant to survive.
Did you know about the organ transplant ban when you were a believer?

I don't think that's too condemning of you, NVR2L8, or at least none of us can throw the first stone. Those of us who came after the organ transplant ban still agreed with the blood transfusion ban because we trusted the Society's interpretation of scripture. It's the same as that.
Where it gets interesting is that the Society removed the ban on organ transplants and knocked down their previous reasoning on why it was wrong. I think it's more interesting to ask, not what JWs thought of the ban, but of the lifting of the ban. But I've learned that not everyone was even aware that the Society's stance had changed.
