  Blood doctrine question

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  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.

  Hi

  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?

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

  Thanks, auntbee

  I think she tries hard not to be rude, but JWs can be pretty condescending. ;)

  JWs and daily Bible reading schedule

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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?
