LupyLu I rarely come across someone who isn't a JW nor have relatives whois a JW that take up for JW's, you're truely unique!!!! But then again when you've done your research concerning a certain aspect of the WTBS then you're most likely to be accurate in what you say. There's even been an Awake article on the blood issue. Granted this religion like all others has its flaws because its members are imperfect. WHile some members are humble others may be concieted while some may be laid-back other members may be anal but the whole fact of the matter is, we're ALL imperfect. But when you belong to an organization whom you honestly feel enables you to have a closer relationship with God ;through meetings, bible studies (on our own personal time) as well as other activities, people will give you a hard time when you're a JW. Some of the many reasons this is so is because of the blood issues,the obstaining from the celebrating of holidays and birthdays etc. But when this very same organization plays a significant part, not the whole part, but some part in the invention of Blood-less surgeries and other bloodless issues, all people will say is the WBTS is a horrible organization and forget some of the postive influenes it has made in some peoples lives!!
