What Is The Most Absurd JW Belief or View?

there are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..

The blood issue is a biggie for me too. Learning the truth about all the blood and organ transplant changes started me on learning TTATT. When I was born there were complications and I needed a transfusion. My mom signed documents refusing me the life saving procedure. My non JW dad told the docs/nurses to lose the documents and to save my life.

The view or belief that if a family member leaves the “truth” you must shun them and have little to no contact with them.

I have to tread lightly with this wonderful teaching because of my mom and sister. Its been about 3 and a half years since I’ve seen them and Im making plans to fly to see them in the next couple months. My mom seems ok with it but my sister is a little apprehensive.
