. . . blood was always a conscience matter . . .
Actually, it is true that blood has always been a conscience matter. It?s just that if a person does decide to make up their own mind and actually follow their own conscience, then they will get DF?d.?or, more currently, be DA?d.
(In other words, as JWs we always have been completely free to follow our own conscience in deciding our course of action. But if we do, then the gun pointed at our head will go off . . . . So, we are completely free to do exactly as we are told . . . or else!)
