the watchtower society blood doctrine is intricately linked to clinical trials in blood technology.
the wts deliberately changes and manipulates the blood doctrine in order to fill the requirements for medical testing in the field of blood technology.
it has been happening since the start of the blood ban and has continued for the last 70 years, leaving untold numbers of dead and maimed jws in the wake of the societys quest for everlasting life here on earth.. .
And for all of you who got Hemopure, were you told that the risk was higher than what you would normally get? Did you know that you were participating in a clinical trial?
You can't possibly be serious. How do you think clinical trials work? You think you get a random package in the mail that says " Hey, try this"?

Remember what the one speaker said - the only ones who would really benefit from a Hemopure trial using only JWs were those with a commercial interest in the product.
Well from a commercial standpoint yes, but ultimately the patient is also a beneficiary for obvious reasons.
I don't mean to sound biased on the subject as i work for a multi-national drug making corporation, but i still don't see an issue here. Yes of course doctors need to be paid for their work in recruiting patients, since nobody does it for free. Patients on the other hand don't get paid since it is considered unethical to get paid aside from perhaps transportation expenses.

The WTS 'approval' of Hemopure was put in place to facillitate clinical trials, not to save the lives of those they had told to refuse blood transfusions.
but facilitating clinical trials will help in the development of a drug which will save those same people. Being part of a clinical trial is not a bad thing.
So let's say a drug company approached the WT and asked if they saw an issue with members volunteering to participate in a specific clinical trial, because they fit a specific target group. Why would the WT oppose this? The effort is to develop a drug which in the long run could indeed save lives of its members. In turn the drug company would ask the WT to clarify with it's members that this is ok to do.
Perhaps the fact that the military is also a stakeholder on this can be considered troubling, but aside from that, I don't see the big deal about this.
i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .
two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.
how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .
lol..sure enough. I just checked. It's not very obvious since you don't see the whole circle, but still...
Maybe they are trying to stop time, since it's their worse enemy.
Didn't they say Jehoober is the one who helped them build the set in under 2 months? good job jehoober..
do you ever feel like going up to drones on witnessing carts and telling em a).
watch tower invest shares in phillip morris tabacco co. b).
jw's got killed in the war cos rutherford got hitlers back up c).
What evidence do you have that the WT invests in Phillip Morris stock?
this is my own experience so i'll share it in that it might help others.
this may not work for others but it seems to be working for me.. .
a little background...i'm happily married and 3 years ago i was an elder and my wife was a pioneer, we have 3 kids.
@OP
This is the great logic, but from my experience the ability to appreciate this logic is directly connected to the ability to process cold hard facts, and to look at things from an analytical standpoint.
You mentioned that for you things are simple 1 +1 = 2. I'm like that as well, but there is an enourmous amount of people in the world and in the organization, who simply are not able to take on that perspective.
I've been in a situation where as i'm making these points to an active JW, step by step, just as you did in your post, their brains come to a stand still and they stop following the train of thought. They look at you with a glaze in their eyes as if you just explained atomic fusion to them. Maybe i'm about to say something harsh, but i truly think many JWs are too dumb to recognize simple logic, and so they will never leave.
to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.
around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.
he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.
Let me be clear. They are getting older, have NO PLAN long term or short term other than pioneering.
Oh thats ok, because once they run into financial distress they can simply apply to the Watchower program in place to assist pioneers in financial distress. Oh wait....that's right. It doesn't exist.
Well i guess they will simply have to turn to evil disgusting organizations like the red cross and salvation army. Seems like the devil is always willing to help.
if you go to google and just type in, jehovah witness about 10 different articles pop up about tonys comment with the gays wanting men in tight pants!
i didnt play with any other google words yet but comment is getting a lot of publicity!.
he done goofed on that one!.
do we live in a world where no one is allowed to express a negative opinion about something? I am sure there are other religions that express disdain for this look also, do we attack them also?
Don't you see the point? Yes me and you can state our opinions, because they mean close to nothing. When you are in the position of power, NO you cannot state your opinion during official business.
Let's say that Obama doesn't agree with mini skirts. Should he state his opinion, especially during an official speech? How well you think that would go?
in my previous post, i mentioned i am now out but wanted to go to the branch meeting anyway.
i am so thank ful i did!
if there was any lingering doubt that i was making the right decision, tony's rants gave me total clarity.
it needs addressing... It's the 'metro sexual' look... that's the tight suit jacket and the tight pants, better known as 'tight pants'. And they are tight, I mean tight, all the way down to the ankle. And that is not modest brothers. No. It's not appropriate. It's not sound of mind.
How funny is it that many JWs associate the world "progressive" with the organization. How can you be progressive when leading the way are creepy old men who have their minds stuck in the 1950's? I'm actually surprised he didn't also mention some of the new haircuts you see on some of the "brothers"
you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.
" they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.
but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".
to which he repeated, while holding a WT printout that he probably wrote himself- "take it up with god".
Can you believe this guy's balls? Going on an on about things which are completely scripturally baseless, and then he holds up his outline and says "Take it up with God", as if God wrote it, and he is only a messenger. What is sad is that JWS will lap up this $hit, as if it is coming from God.
