administering a blood transfusion when directed by a superior - jehovah's witness policy effective june 15th, 2018. while the hospital liasion committee elders were instructed that they may inform doctors and nurses of this decision, this letter was not allowed to be distributed to anyone outside of hlc members.. as a result of the concealment of this letter, and by virtue of the fact that this information was only to be shared verbally with jehovah's witness medical professionals and others, confusion erupted across the united states and in other branch offices of jehovah's witnesses.
countless letters were received at watchtower headquarters in new york from concerned jw nurses, paramedics, and others who were instructed verbally on this new policy, but which contradicted existing written policy that had been in effect for many decades.. in addition to letters from witness medical professionals, circuit overseers in the field wrote to the us branch and hospital information desk in new york about the problems caused by this unreleased policy.
for example, south carolina circuit overseer brandon roberts reported to headquarters that "the majority of the nurses in our circuit were not aware of this updated policy.
What about the one who fits a cannula to the patient ready to take the blood transfusions? Or the porter who brings it to the ward? Or anyone along the supply chain? They all contribute.
This is the slippery slope of legalism. It's a reversion to Judaism all over again, something the New Testament warned against.

How do JW doctors handle it when in a circumstance where a transfusion is regarded as necessary to be recommended?
does anyone know about this musician alex ashley?
somebody told me he was a jw.
i look him up and he has a full beard, but he's hanging with the jazz couple who are in the watchtower chorus, and he's currently doing a tour with nicolas king.

He also calls himself a journalist and has done pro-JW material about bloodless surgery, one of them for NPR. He has also posted material sympathetic with the liberal media and how it's not fake news. Any thoughts?

An individual does not have to be vaccinated in order to attend in-person meetings unless it is a government requirement. ... Personal choices regarding vaccination and whether to attend in person should be respected.
Some definite backpedaling here. They were really out of line telling people what to do and I'm sure it was costing them, maybe even causing some to wake up at least a little.
i was never a jdubb, only a bible student.
there are two main questions i have.
let me preface that by saying that i do not believe the bible is true, or the word of god.
1: The scriptures also say to "pour out" the blood when killing an animal because a life was taken. Blood transfusions don't take a life so the whole point is gone. Also, the law allowed selling unbled meat to non-Jews and eating blood if it wasn't possible not too, which also argues against JWs absolute interpretation. The bottom line is, the blood dogma is just one of many, many crazy ideas from Joseph Rutherford back in the day, including vaccines, aluminum cookware etc. but it's the only one they have no choice but to hold on to as so many people have died.
2: You answered your own question; Noah and his family survived, and they were of course descendants of Adam and Eve that were imperfect and died eventually, so sin was passed on as usual.
3: The scriptures say that Noah took in both clean and unclean animals, although this is an anachronism as the law detailing that had yet to be written centuries later.

The JWs at the Kingdom Halls can ask visitors (the public) to show their vaccination card
That's a great way to lose half of your potential converts which is already shrinking.

Okay, elephant in the room:
If they are having "public" meetings, then they can't possibly screen visitors for vaccination status. BUT will they still require non-vaccinated JWs to stay home as they are now?
Hi I'm __________ from __________. Sorry I'm a pimo so that's all I got.
well let me clarify the question.
i know you call yourselves apostates because the bible defines people who leave their previously held beliefs as apostates.
my question means, if the bible is not true (and i don't think it is) then there is no such thing as an apostate.i have never been a jw, only a bible student with them.
Actually the christian New Testament doesn't even use the word apostate. I'm sure many ex-JWs use it because it is an official JW offense, that many have been charged with in a judicial committee. Some just re-appropriate it (tongue in cheek) and some use it in quotation marks, but we all understand what it means and doesn't mean.
the truth that gives you eternal life - "bethel edition".
this is an amazing book (vanderhoven).

Wow this is fantastic. They were getting persecuted like Christians in the dark ages under the Catholic Church.
