If that proposition is true, then based on what is presented in the cited 1987 Watchtower about upholding superior law, that would make HIPAA superior to divine law. Right?
You make an excellent point! I guess I didn't have my wits about me during that fracas, because I could have asked, "since we know much more about the safe medical administration of blood transfusion than we did at the time the OT and NT prohibitions were written [5000 and 2000 years prior respectively] why do JWs so tenaciously hold to beliefs that are so clearly outmoded and outdated, if WT literature can so easily be pooh-pooh'ed when it is more than a couple of decades past its original release date?"
