in and old post by marvin, he provides a link to a wts response to blood treatment.
the wts society spokeman writes that blood transfusions may cause immunological disorders.
since modern medicine gave out thousands of infected blood transfusions in the past causing death and ravaging disease such as aids and incurable and horrible hepatitis to mention some, there is reason for concern.. how safe and effective is blood treatment today?

How safe and effective is blood treatment today? Any facts?
mistakes admitted by wts?
i seek feedback on the following series of questions:.
1. has the watchtower society publicly admitted its mistakes?
The wts does not neet to admit that they make any mistakes because according to wts teaching they are providing food at the proper time and the light gets brighter and brighter regarding wts understanding of scripture.
Adding the words at the end of my previous post. YEAH RIGHT! might explain what I meant.
My favorite movie all time is "THe Good, the bad, and the ugly" I could not help myself to post one of tuco's line to blondie in the movie. I am familiar with blondies wt studies and they are an important contribution to this site in my opinion.
When reading Marvin's recent topic about Jc preparations and a poster's recognition of the usefulness of MS posts I just had to read evertrhing that MS had to post and I did. I also wanted to resurrect some of his old post which I liked. Lots of bites!
Outlaw, you are the best! THis forum would not be the same without you.

The wts never errs. Although not infallible, they as time goes on get clarifications but their views were not wrong at the time because the light gets brighter and brighter. Make sense?
blood -- wts questions and sound answers 9
the decree issued to noah answers the question of what blood god required righteous persons to abstain from.
the blood humans should abstain from is the same blood noah had to abstain from -- the blood of animals killed for food.
My objection is that you lack authority to intepret or apply the Bible. THe wts claims to be God's agency and hence from that alleged position they qualify.
blood -- wts questions and sound answers 4
does the wts respect jws who decide to eat from blood?
*** w86 9/1 p. 25 godly respect for blood ***
THe wts has a perspective on blood. According to wts Bible understanding on blood, blood must ne dealt with in a special way by jws. Jws believe that blood represents life to God and therefore it is better that a person die than to somehow direspect the life it represents. In other words, to jws, blood is more important than the life it represents to God.
Jws recognize that they eat blood. THey know that it is impossible to extract every blood fraction from a dead chicken or cow, etc. So, when consuming meat they are aware that they are also eating some blood with it, but that is in accordance with the BIble because ancient Bible law observer also ate some blood with their meat. THe issue with jws is that blood cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever and so jws are enjoined from using blood in a way that vilated their understanding of the Bible,
The contradiction in jw belief is that they benefit too from the sinful way blood is used by others in the production of vaccines, blood fractions, and other things. The problem is not the resultant kosher product containing microscopics amounts of blood but that perhaps gallons of blood was misused acccording to their doctrine to produce the end produce that they too use.
In all fairness though, more people have died from infected blood than from refusing blood transfusions.
At one time vaccines and organ transplants were dangerous and risky, the same can be said about blood. I personally have known individuals that have died from infected blood and I also know individuals that were cured because of blood during an operation in the past. THe obejection that I have with blood is infection and medical and that I loathe getting injected with someones body fluids. My mentality is a result of wts indoctrination. I stiil feel this way. I am not sure about the religious part of it. I am not sure.
I do not feel that anyone should be allowed to die having medical options available to save his life even blood.
i feel very offended and distrurbed when i see people covered with tatoos.
some people have tatoos all over their bodies, even on their faces.
there are also tatoo programs on the tlc channel that children can watch without a forewarning before the show comes on.
Thanks Terry. Sensible, logical, reasonable. Well said. I feel the same way

Thank you for your valuable contributions MS.

I don't think that MS is saying that his recommendations will have any effect on what the elders will do relating to that hearing at that point in time, although it could depending on the case. I think that what he is saying is that his recommendations when acted upon will become part of the record and in the event of error, violation of law, or any personal damage whatsoever, the injured party might be able to claim that he was denied fairness and reasonableness and a defense if in the future if any opportunity should arise to plead a cause.
The purpose of a judicial hearing religious, to help an individual. Keeping records and documents some feel is damaging to privacy and to the good name of a person, and has nothing to do to helping sinners in most cases. Elders have been known to gossip with their wives and to others about confidential matters.
If minutes or a record of what took place during a hearing is kept by the wts or its agents, it is only fair that copies should be available. If not, then a burden lies on the record keepers and takers and judges.
Seems that there is advancing legal and other pressure on wts protocol.
THe bottom line is that people have been injured in the past and the elders know it.Ms recommendations makes them aware of this and of any personal responsibilies.
