    Where is the logic in that?

    You'll be waiting a good long time if you hope to hear a connection between "logic" and "JW policy & beliefs".

    Actually, anytime I have looked for some sort of connection, I always found it in the $$$ to be made.

    I definitely have no problem seeing the connection between "$$$$$" and "JW policy and belief".

    It's the "logic" part from the first post that threw me.

    Actually a JW can have human hemoglobin.

    There is no contradiction on this point about their blood policy.

    From my research the human hemoglobin for some reason is less effective then the product Hemopure. The JW blood policy in general is really fu$k up!

    Crazyguy,"Actually a JW can have human hemoglobin"

    Somehow your assertion doesn't fit with the little that I know about Watchtower's policies on blood. I am sure others with more knowledge have something to say.

    Please explain how this is "no contradiction"

    From my research the human hemoglobin for some reason is less effective then the product Hemopure.

    Again, please explain. More detail needed. Do you mean the blood substitute made from expired human blood, or do you mean human blood, as commonly used in blood transfusions when red blood cells are needed?

    The FDA stopped human trials of hemopure because it did not work as well as human blood and because there were too many fatalities and associated health risks

    By any logic, even the handful of blood components the Watchtower continues to ban,

    namely red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma, are all less than whole blood, and

    can be viewed as fractions.

    Packed red blood cells with thier outer skin removed is hemoglobin and is an ok fraction per their documents. The very document I believe a 2006 August KM where by they say it’s ok to use Hemopure is also where they stated it’s ok to use Hemoglobin. I could be wrong on the date of the Kingdom ministry.

    Oh, I get what you are saying now, Crazyguy. Yes, the org okays hemoglobin. There is no disputing that. Hemoglobin is red blood cells.

    The contradiction exists between the WT/Org policy and the scriptures that they say they base their blood ban on.

    Par for the course when your ban is, in fact, business-based.
