  use of animal blood in transfusions

  by galaxy7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the policy on hemoglobin and other blood fractions was changed in the june 15, 2000 issue of the watchtower.

  this latest change may in fact cause further confusion for many witnesses since products like hemopure are derived from large quantities of stored animal blood.

  numerous witnesses have questioned the logic of such an internally inconsistent dogma.

  as recently as 1998 two officials from the watchtower society?s ?hospital information services?

  wrote that jehovah's witnesses ?do not accept hemoglobin which is a major part of red blood cells.... jehovah?s witnesses do not accept a blood substitute which uses hemoglobin taken from a human or animal source.

  The policy on hemoglobin and other blood fractions was changed in the June 15, 2000 issue of The Watchtower. This latest change may in fact cause further confusion for many Witnesses since products like Hemopure® are derived from large quantities of stored animal blood. Numerous witnesses have questioned the logic of such an internally inconsistent dogma. Some believe that the governing body of Jehovah?s Witnesses is simply changing its long-standing doctrine gradually to avoid legal problems anticipated with an overt change to a policy that has resulted in so many deaths over the years Hemopure is a product that is made from highly purified bovine blood and only claims to provide a form of hemoglobin to assist in the delivery of oxygen to end organs and tissues. It does not substitute otherwise for blood - meaning that it may not improve hemodynamics in many cases. In addition, it differs from blood in that it has a shorter circulation time (only one or two days). In addition, some have been concerned because this is a product that comes from cows ; the recent highlights on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) has brought this issue to the forefront. However, the company states that this is not an issue or risk with this product, again because of the purification process Hemopure has been found to be acceptable for use for Jehovah's Witnesses, a group of patients that refuse the transfusion of human blood products for religious reasons. Other clinical applications remain to be determined as the product becomes available and further studies are done The inspired Holy Scriptures answer yes....According to the law of Moses, which set forth shadows of things to come , the receiver of a blood transfusion must be cut off from God?s people by excommunication or disfellowshiping .. ..if in the future he persists in accepting blood transfusions or in donating blood toward the carrying out of this medical practice upon others, he shows that he has really not repented, but is deliberately opposed to God?s requirements. As a rebellious opposer and unfaithful example to fellow members of the Christian congregation he must be cut off therefrom by disfellowshiping. - The Watchtower 01/15/1961 pp. 63, 64 In a June 14, 2000 statement to the media, the WTS explained that an individual who accepts blood transfusions ?willfully and without regret?indicates by his own actions that he no longer wishes to be one of Jehovah?s Witnesses. The individual revokes his own membership by his own actions, rather than the congregation initiating this step.? This was not a press release per se but a ?statement to the press?. It is no longer present at the WTS media site

  Who is the Faithful and Wise Servant? It's JOSEPH, of course!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  who is the faithful and wise servant?

  it's a question that the wt has misused to establish its own authority.

  as it is, the parable today as a cautionary tale applies to whoever it fits, but it is clear who the original servant was that inspired the parable.. .

  thankyou very much for your post.

  this is one of my biggest problems with the JWs.and how they use that scripture.

  I always wondered why they changed the scripture from wise to discreet

  i guess they discreetly failed to remember JOSEPH when dealing with that parable
