bloodless medicine and surgery has grown to where it is because of the fear of aids and other blood borne pathogens, not the crackpot stand of the jw's!!!

!the only reason why they have made an impression on the medical world ,is because aids accelerated their cause.

the org has the most confused and contradictory policy on blood.not even their hlc's know what is permissable.

The org has the most confused and contradictory policy on blood.Not even their Hlc's know what is permissable. Just ask anyone who works the hospital information desk at any branch, how many calls they receive for direction on what is permissable!

The members are confused, the Elders are double confused, the leadership have no idea! Here is one example...the bible makes some clear statements on the blood of animals. So why is it a matter of conscience for members to accept Haemopure a product derived from bovine[cow] blood.

In my 16 years involvement in this issue at all levels,I am so regretful that I was cognitively stunted into supporting and assiting this awefully confused policy.[also compromised myself proffessionally] I wonder if we could even begin to appreciate the number of lives sacrificed in the name of arrogance and confusion!

when i was little there were several elderly ones in our hall that were of the annointed class .

i was lead to believe that they sent in surveys of a sort to the society regularly.

about their opinoins on theocratic matters .i was told that they ,all the annointed, contributed material to the magazines .

I used to write, and can assure you ALL topics are writing comm decided and distributed to writers through branch network. The completed articles are returned to be edited and published. The ones I submitted were not heavily edited and were published.I was not of the annointed.I am not aware of any writers who claim tobe of the annointed. Although there could be some,all if not most articles are written by ordinary people with all the issues the rest of us have. The one amazing thing is they will write according to WT policy and completely overide their own feelings/thoughts and at times disagree with what they have written.
