  It was something with an "Enquete-Komission" here in germany and they asked a lot of organizations. JW had no success because of the exJW at www.infolink-net.de informed them about the real side. The doc you translated is just an official version of the german branch and - of course - has nothing to do with reality. Just think about the HLC which is said to help brothers/sisters with sheperding whilst in hospital: the only goal is to get sure they take no blood; and if this question isn't involved they take no care about you.

  Sorry for your hard work in translating but it is just the usual BS from the WTS

  Has anyone else asked this question about blood?

  not too long back, when i was an elder still administering the advanced medical directive, i asked a question regarding blood fractions to which i never got a satisfactory answer.

  if a brother or a sister agrees to accept blood fractions then we need to be aware that these fractions have come from donated blood, very often not just a single donation but the result of extraction made from multiple donations.

  however, if i was found to be a source of a fraction that could save a brother or sister's life could i give blood in order to save them?

  I asked the question to the Elder of the hospital liaison commitee

  "we do accept blood fraction - why are we not allowed to donate? Or other way round if we are not allowed to donate, why could we accept fractions?" It was something with the isralites being allowed to sell flesh to strangers. But when i mentioned "so we are strangers that receive bloody flesh ..." he had no answer. The problem now - the elder is one of the HLC and doesn't know (cheese and cracker man?)

  The straw that broke the camel's back

  you know, the last little thing that blew your patience out of the water and forced you to face up to the fact that you were in a cult that doesn't believe in the bible so much as it believes in it's own power structure?.

  for me it was beards.

  stupid i know and possibly the most trivial of things to be 'stumbled' over but to me it was the epitomy of what was wrong with the witnesses - arbitrary rules poking their noses into the lives of people where they had no business.

  The chronology about 607 BCE and all the stuff that therefore is tied to 1914 ... Was the beginning of the end a new life.
