Blood doctrine question

by AuntBee in

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?

Orphan Crow, that's awesome. Powerful, and probably a new thought to them and unexpected!

Thank you for all the comments! -- I like this topic when trying to plant seeds with JWs, as i have opportunity.

Sometimes i am unsure whether it's best to use questions that are more along the line of "disturbed outsider" who heard about the latest blood death, and just make obvious points, that would come from thinking about the topic Scripturally or logically. Or whether to have more facts on hand to refute what their standard replies are going to be. I don't want to seem like a "professional opposer"; sometimes that can backfire, and they'll write you off more quickly, than just a simple point or question from an outsider.

Smiddy - yes! That is an excellent article, i'm glad it's posted on line!

Frognomore - Again, thanks for your valuable inisight/facts.

Giordano! wow, so that's where that crazy statement about comparing it to alcohol in veins! Yet another WT deceiving misquote. It's amazing how many of them still repeat that tired old argument!

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
