Richard, a hemoglobin check makes perfect sense. The JW population belong to a rare blood group that cannot have the part of blood that corrects for anemia. A belief, a phbia, a conviction...whatever, they can't have that part of blood. Early detection of an anemic condition, with a simple blood test for iron levels, is practical.
Iron supplements and diet can sometimes correct hemoglobin deficiencies in a person's blood, whether they appear healthy or not

Richard, you made a really big leap to go from "hemoglobin check" to Arterial Blood Gas test.
An Arterial Blood Gas test has nothing to do with a hemoglobin check.

the crowd on the street (see photo) is now inside and the gallery is packed.. yesterday jehovah's witnesses presented a written legal argument - "objections to the administrative claim of the ministry of justice of the russian federation" - to the supreme court of russia which, in paragraph 254, argued that if the ministry for justice liquidates and bans the activities of jehovah's witnesses then this will force individual members to renounce or abandon their religion for fear of persecution.. download legal argument (russian).

steel: It sure must be odd to see seven American men come over to Russia and claim to be gods spokesperson on Earth. I think that alone might just piss off the Russians officials.
Could you imagine seven Russians coming to the states claiming such total nonsense. Why can only Americans make such shit up.
It isn't just odd. It is ridiculous. To think that the 7 lucky dwarfs of the WT Kingdom, can have free and easy access to a country whose religious history is centuries long, is myopic and emerges from a pretty new and shiny capitalistic "democracy". Backed by the United Nations.
Christianity was established in 988 in Russia (Orthodox - because Vladimir fell in love with the beauty of the Greeks) and was eventually spread throughout rural areas by illiterate monks who had at best, memorized a fragment or two of text. Some of those strange little pockets of Christianity survived the Muslim rule in the 13th-15th century. And became the backdrop for apocalyptic cults in the Russian territories.
Strange little bit of trivia - on the eve of the Tsar's abdication in 1917, an apocalyptic cult committed suicide on the outskirts of Moscow. Just over 60 members committed suicide. They were convinced the world was ending.
And then the religious freeze. Throughout the Soviet era. Godless times.
The WTS is a recent emergence on a scene that has such a long and varied religious history. And a long memory. Culture imprints deep memories when it is a old and significant as it has been in Russia.

No problem, Richard. I appreciated your feedback (surprise!). I hate getting bogged down in details at times.
Wonder: Where did Sanderson learn Russian...?
Likely when he was in the Philippines. Strong Russian presence there.
Lol! I doubt it was when he was treading Canadian prairie streets! The Russian community isn't that large here...but I could be wrong

From the horse's mouth:
"On Wednesday morning, September 5, 2012, it was announced to the United States and Canada Bethel families that a new member had been added to the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Effective September 1, 2012, Mark Sanderson began to serve in that capacity.
Brother Sanderson was raised in San Diego, California, U.S.A., by his Christian parents and was baptized on February 9, 1975. He began to serve as a pioneer in Saskatchewan, Canada, on September 1, 1983. In December 1990, he graduated from the seventh class of the Ministerial Training School (now called the Bible School for Single Brothers) in the United States. Brother Sanderson was appointed to serve as a special pioneer on the island of Newfoundland, Canada, in April 1991. After serving as a substitute circuit overseer, he was invited to become a member of the Canada Bethel family in February 1997. In November 2000, he was transferred to the United States branch, where he worked in Hospital Information Services and later in the Service Department.
In September 2008, Brother Sanderson attended the School for Branch Committee Members and thereafter was appointed as a member of the Philippines Branch Committee. In September 2010, he was invited to return to the United States, where he served as a helper to the Service Committee of the Governing Body."

Richard, I appreciate those details. What you say is important. It helps to define, and recognize, the place that the Hospital Information network holds in each branch office, including Russia. And it is relevant to the HLC being recognized as only one small part of that network.
Yes...I am afraid that I bandy terms around a bit - for the sake of my audience and also for the sake of Sanderson's biographical history.
HLC is a term that JWs, and exJWs, are most familiar with - they know that HLC designates the body of men who look after their medical concerns. That is why I use it interchangeably at times. And because I also know that a JW does not just walk into the top position at the branch offices, as coordinator (or whatever WT term you would like to use) of the Hospital Information Services, in a branch office, without having served as a HLC member back somewhere on his first rung of the ladder to fame.

Interesting. Thank you for posting this, dsp.
I see that Yvette Bunch, Bloodless Med/Patient Blood Management Program Coordinator at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, who is a Jehovah's Witness herself, is still actively involved in the bloodless world:

Hairtrigger: The SOB,s want an audio broadcast of the trial!
Haha!
Apostate lies! Apostate lies, I say...! The videos of courts are all lies! Look at what they did to the poor WTS down in Australia...don't listen to anything you hear! The media have it all wrong!
But when they corner poor Jdubs into a JC they won't allow a witness or a lawyer into the proceedings
The unfolding of this drama is dripping with hypocrisy.
"Don't do unto us as we do unto you"
