The fact that you seem to be taking this so very seriously is what prompted a number of valid, mature, dare I say it: SERIOUS replies.
Furthermore, the fact that you take this type of convoluted logic so seriously tells me, IMO, that you have a lot of learning and growing to do. It also tells me that if you do not learn and grow, you will be a *GREAT* member of the GB. Seriously you guys, seriously.

Apostates - blood on their hands?

I think what Slimboyfat is suggesting (and I may be wrong, it's not uncommon), is that apostates are interfering with the evolution of the WTBTS -
The leaders of the organisation were becoming more mellow, cooperating with worldly agencies for the first time. They did not want to upset their membership, so they did this slowly and under the radar.
As we can see, the Society wanted to SLOWLY (Just the TEN years and counting) co operate (suck mammaries, iggy) with the Beast.
EvilForce - are you suggesting the WTBTS is a modern - day Frankenstein? It created the apostate unwittingly, and now it is trying to hunt it down? lol

slimboy, I hardly think the WTS bases it's decisions to change doctrines on what apostates may or may not think. I think their concern lies in what the R&F remembers of how staunch the Watchtower was on certain prophecies and bible interpretations. The blood issue, the 1914 generation, the view that the UN is Satan's org....they have to be very careful when reworking these fundamental doctrines or else their own people, good, obedient, life-long Witnesses, won't be able to swallow their backtracking.
You can't go around basing a religion on certain pivotal points, drum those points into the heads of your followers five meetings a week for decades, and then expect no backlash when you change the rules.
This organization claims it is Jehovah's only true channel here on earth. If that is so, why the flip flops? Why would they tell people for so many years that taking blood transfusions was wrong, allowing many to die, only to change the rules later? Doesn't Jehovah know his own mind? Which is it? Is a blood transfusion an abomination to him or not? What about the organizational cover ups of child abuse? Is it more important to Jehovah that his organization look clean or be clean? Apparently His annointed sons on the Governing Body, men who supposedly have a direct link to Jesus, thought it was more imported to appear holy than to be holy...whitewashed graves anyone?
Does this make any sense? Maybe to you it does. I don't know. But to me it is criminal ...and it's not just a few issues that they've done this with either. It's systemic. The whole organization is full of such rot. By the time you cleaned it all out, there would be nothing left.

Law suits. They don't want to be sued by mass numbers of people who have lost loved ones or had loved one's health damaged by lack of transfusions. They basically are the Dr. Smiths, think Lost In Space/cowardly doctor, of religion.
