What makes sense religiously for the Jehovah's Witnesses, a growing number of physicians and researchers are finding, is in fact good medicine for the rest of the population, for health as well as economic reasons.
I'm scared. Hold me.

Granted, I looked at that noblood.org site for only a few minutes, but it does not appear to be directly related to or controlled by the WTS. It is currently owned by Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
It has a very amateurish look about it and the WTS tends to produce web sites of much better quality.
I think the owners of that site just happen to have an objective very similar to the WTS. Hell, I wouldn?t be a bit surprised if Jelsoft Enterprises is owned by JWs and this site is simply another site that is not sanctioned by the WTS.

I am a posting member on the NoBlood forum. As Elsewhere said, it is not an "official" WT site but is made up of JWs and non-JWs. They will not answer any questions regarding doctrinal issues regarding blood but will refer you to your congregation elders or the WT official site.

Hi Blondie! Is the NoBlood Forum a JW site then? I've only had a quick look but don't (apart from the obvious) see what the angle is if it has an angle, that is?
Are they against blood whatever happens and are they religious or medical?
Thanks

There are JWs on it but also non-JW. I lack the ability to check and see who the web administrators are. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are JWs. Does the WT endorse this, no. Is it chasing after it like other JW and ex-JW sites to remove them, not that I can tell. The best thing to do is sign on under a username and ask them. This is not a JW site like these two are:

Well I am glad that the girl is doing alright, and if a trend towawards bloodless surgery continues, I believe that it must be a good thing.
