Bluesbro:
Thats exactly what jws do , hide their heads in the sand and leave things in j hand. The r and f just dont understand the blood issue and are leaving the thinking to the Society even as the society backs away from the position a fraction at a time, and mking it a matter of concience, even as organ transplants are a matter of concience acoording to the wts, I know bros walking around feeling great with organ transplants today in good standing with the cong. But as you have clearly seen Bluesbro, the wts HAS CHANGED THEIR STAND ON BLOOD, oblivious to joe schmo publisher,wwho will loyally remain faithful to j even to death.
As I metioned earlier, a sis died recently because she refused blood while bleeding profusely. NEWS had that on the radio.
The WTS is covered against any liablilty if in the future they lif the blood ban by simply asserting that jw make their free choice frm their conscience and that blood is risky and people have contracted aids from blood , blah blah. But all things considered, that sis would be alive today, had she not been a jw loyalist.
I think that the blood transfuion issue will sink the wts if God does not come to the rescue. Particularly id it comes public that people would be alive today had they accepted blood. I always hided my head in the sand too believing that God was taking care of all of that, I alaways lived my life with full faith and confidence in J. But now the wt is telling the rand f to plan for the future and to make decisons as when filing out the proxy. scary. It was easy when the wt made all decions for jws. The WTS has not shown to have the fiath it requires its followers to have because it is involved in the business of raising prophets, trading stocks, investing, making money, etc taking no chances. Unlike Jesus and early xtians who were not engaged in the business of financing the ppreachnig work but left that up to God,
I saw a cartoon with moses crossing the red sea wearing a life preserver as he led the jws out of egypt. REminds me of the Society. They tell the rand f to have blind faith, but they take no chances.
SAd, that time has shown them wrong on so many things, including the blood issue. : Although people have contracted infections and have died from blood transfusions, the majority of people treated with blood have benefited from the blood treatment, Sure in the past blood was only in a primitive stage compared to now, howvever, wouldnt it be nice if some of the JW people that refused blood in the past would be alive today, had they acepted blood as the wt allows today. Do you think that God would be so offended if the friends and families of those individuals would not have to miss those people in death as everyone dead and alive waits so to speak for the so called bible promises that jws believe.? Get this: The WTS does allow blood use, but THEY decide and dictate what blood parts can be used. "Blood is blood" to quote elders. THe wts teaches that some peoples concieces may allow them to use a LITTLE amount of blood used for rabies and tetanus shots. WHAT A COP OUT! concience or coercion?
