  The Blood doctrine - A Medical or Scriptural issue?

  by Jourles in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  if you were to ask any witness whether or not the blood doctrine is scripturally or medically based, you would receive the same answer 100% of the time.

  "scripturally, of course.

  there is one component in particular which shows the wts uses medically based information to cement its postion on what is and what is not allowed for a witness to accept.

  Brand New Blood Card meeting - Your Blood will run cold.

  by hamsterbait in

  i first noticed that no scriptural discussion of the choice is made, so it all appears to be solely the decision of the signatory.. when choosing alternatives of treatment, the witless merely initials his choice under clauses 3 and 4. since this simply indicates choice, full signature and witness are not required.. .

  now clause 6:.

  "i consent to my medical records ands the details of my condition being shared with the emergency contact below (cong secretary recommended) and/or with member(s) of the hospital liaison committee for jehovah's witnesses.. .

  Brand New Blood Card

  by PoppyR in

  2. beliefs

  hubby has just come back from the service meeting where they have been handed out brand new style blood cards, now called 'advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment' .

  it's quite a bit different.

  and has the line on it about giving permission to the hospital liason committee to see your notes and medical records.. very scary stuff i think, and i certainly wont be filling one in.. i'm really short of time tonight, but will scan it in, along with the notes that go with it and try and post it some time over the next day or so if someone else doesn't beat me to it!.

  REVIEW OF JCS "BIG NEWS" ARTICLE

  by Oroborus21 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  note: the catholic molestation cases have mostly been evaluated under employment law theories not the tort of misrepresentation or under non-fraud related tort claims]; fails to address important legal considerations such as standing and statute of limitations; and finally and most importantly, the essay fails to address in any meaningful way the inevitable constitutional arguments that would be raised by opposing (watchtower) counsel.

  supreme court justices do not have the time to browse through law journals and the implication that they would be interested in an essay is even more deceptive.

  the society does not cite a 1960 study as evidence that blood transfusions are hazardous.. here is the actual quotation in context:.

  All right cut the crap.... why are we fighting over the Big News?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if the big news is legit, someone will file suit and win.. if it is the big snooze one of the above will not happen.

  nothing we do or say here will bear on the outcome of the above.

  if you think it is the big news, by all means promote it as such.

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  (baylor university, waco, tx) an essay entitled, "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation," found in the autumn issue of baylor universitys prestigious journal of church and state, published december 13, 2005, exposes the vulnerability of jehovahs witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religions misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions.

  this milestone essay critically examines one of the religions main publications for teaching their children and new recruits about their blood beliefs, how can blood save your life?

  the peer-reviewed essay details many misrepresentations of medical facts, which the religion partly relies on to support its blood prohibition, thus denying its members from making fully informed medical decisions.
