when witnesses go on and on about bloodless medicine, they often imply that this will work in all situations.
do they really believe this, because it's what the society has led them to believe?
are they just trying to divert their own mind, from the reality of blood deaths, that still happen?
Thanks for the great insights, links and info - Orphan, Finkelstein, Giordano.
I was curious to phone one of these Bloodless medicine hospitals, to ask if they would affirm that there ARE cases where a person needs actual blood, and ... i'm not kidding ,the receptionist that answered - to me, totally seemed like a JW, seemed to take personal umbrage to my question, expressed discomfort and annoyance, etc.

Or...do they know that Witnesses still die from it, and are just lying, because outsiders don't "deserve to know"?
Thanks, auntbee

something i have noticed from watching many of bridgets videos is.
how many jws hang up on her.
this is what jws are famous for, having the door slammed in their face.
I think she tries hard not to be rude, but JWs can be pretty condescending. ;)

jws often point to this, to show outsiders they are allowed to read the bible on their own without the publications.
although, as we know, the org still teaches that you will never progress along the road to life without the pubs.
and, i would imagine that what they learn/conclude from their own bible reading, must remain within the confines of current wt teaching, even on the most minute points of doctrine.
Thank you Slow Burn.

Has this daily Bible reading always been promoted? How many Witnesses do it? What is the point , if you just have to accept all their teachings anyway?
does anyone know what it means to be "securely wrapped up in the bag of life"?
is this a new special wt terminology?
they said it or a slight variant of it, several times in the broadcast, perhaps 3?
OrphanCrow - "a little worried about something". They also had a theme of staying in the "spiritual protection" of Jehovah('s organization), which was repeated several times in different segments.
