  blood transfusion history.

  1665 the first recorded successful blood transfusion occurs in england: physician richard lower keeps dogs alive by transfusion of blood from other dogs.. 1818 james blundell performs the first successful blood transfusion of human blood to treat postpartum hemorrhage.. 1840 the first whole blood transfusion to treat hemophilia is successfully completed.. 1900 karl landsteiner discovers the first three human blood groups, a, b and o.. 1902 landsteiner’s colleagues, alfred decastello and adriano sturli, add a fourth blood type, ab.. 1907 blood typing and cross matching between donors and patients is attempted to improve the safety of transfusions.

  the universality of the o blood group is identified.. 1914 adolf hustin discovers that sodium citrate can anticoagulate blood for transfusion, allowing it to be stored and later transfused safely to patients on the battlefield.. 1932 the first blood bank is established at leningrad hospital.. 1939-1940 the rh blood group is discovered and recognized as the cause behind most transfusion reactions.. 1940 the us government establishes a nationwide blood collection program.. so from the beginning of the watchtower being printed in 1879, they were ok with blood transfusions until 1945. what caused this?

  Beth Sarim - “Hoser,,, if I could smash your 'like' button 100x,,I would.”

  Calm down Beth, he’s a married man.

  😏

  Besides, it’s an entirely inaccurate pic.

  Rutherford would’ve demanded a much bigger bottle.

  https://youtu.be/cdzydtuoblw?si=tyr8hgdgaiyn7c4h.

  this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.

  the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.

  I also suspect that back when the Org’s blood prohibition was being cobbled together, there were some WT higher-ups who were quietly bigoted (there’s some anecdotal evidence Rutherford was antisemitic, and if that’s true, he couldn’t have been the only one)…

  …and the prospect of receiving a transfusion from a donor of another race secretly freaked them out.

  I could be wrong.

  Honestly, I don’t think the loyalist rank-and-file would give a shit.

  Ancient history.

  However…

  ….if it could be proven that the current GB were, say, having regular cocaine-and-viagra-fueled call-girl orgies on giant beds of laundered cash, it’d be a different story.

  Maybe.

  😏

  Note: I don’t think they are. Sorry to get your hopes up.

  ThomasMore - “…Spinning it as persecution may be their only way to keep the whole crowd from walking out.”

  Hmph.

  Good luck spinning being sued, taxed, and legislated to their knees as “persecution”.

  (Thanks, BTW.)

  Beth Sarim - “…The Borg can claim ‘we never said that’…”

  Not quite what they do.

  They hum and haw and weasel-word, and remind the rank-and-file that “Satan’s World” is out to get “God’s People”, and can’t be trusted, etc., etc…

  ….and leave ‘em too scared to believe it.

  Know how I know?

  ’Cause that was me.

  Right up to the moment that I realized, “hey, they didn’t explicitly deny it…” 🤔.

  NotFormer - “…Conveniently, after Rutherford's death.”

  Was chemotherapy a thing back then?

  ’Cause Rutherford had cancer, and that treatment involves transfusions, if I’m not mistaken.

  Funny how the Biblical apostles were never admonished to try and trick legitimate secular authorities.

  If you go around jabbing folks with a stick until you get a black eye for your efforts, you’re not being “persecuted”.

  You're just being an asshole.

  cyberjesus - “…MLM is the best business model there is to get fastest result. Of course you need to know how to use it.” (italics mine)

  Being shady as fuck and not giving a shit if people get victimized doesn’t hurt, either.
