MaximusGB Admits It Has No Answers, Blood
"In contrast with humans, who have a limited life span, Jehovah never feels pressured by time to reveal his secrets prematurely. This fact should prevent us from becoming impatient when certain Bible questions cannot presently be explained to our satisfaction.

"Modesty on the part of the faithful and discreet slave class, commissioned to provide the Christian household with food at the proper time, prevents it from presumptuously running ahead and wildly speculating about things that are still unclear.

"The slave class strives to avoid being dogmatic. It is not too proud to admit that as of now it cannot answer every question, keeping Proverbs 4:18 clearly in mind.

"But how thrilling to know that Jehovah, in his own due time and in his own way, will continue to reveal his secrets as to his purposes! Never should we become impatient with Jehovah's arrangement, indiscreetly trying to rush ahead of the Revealer of secrets. How reassuring it is to know that the channel Jehovah is using today does not do so! I t is both faithful and discreet.--Matthew 24:45; 1 Corinthians 4:6."

From Watchtower w97 6/1 pp. 13, 14: A Secret Christians Dare Not Keep!

In light of the many changes we have seen it make in recent years, how can the "governing body" of the FDS say it does not run ahead of Jehovah? How did Jehovah reveal his long-hidden secrets about the "generation" issue? How did he reveal a true Christian can now take hemoglobin from cow's blood and other blood fractions but not others? How did this change from being unclear to clear? Isn't this inconsistent and dogmatic in itself?

If the Bible is so unclear the FDS has not got certain changed teachings right for many decades, and the FDS does not want to indiscreetly rush ahead and to "wildly speculate," how did Jehovah communicate to the faithful slave his secrets about blood fractions and the whole host of other changes we have seen occur?

Note for whoever wants to proceed even deeper: In addition, surely the Revealer of secrets must know that fetal nucleated red blood cells and white blood cells "naturally pass" the placental barrier. (For the record, Hawk has documented over 40 papers on this issue.) The great Physiologist allows the "natural passage" of blood from one to another, and of course He would not break his own law. Isn't that the FDS reasoning used regarding the "placental barrier" argument used for approving albumin? Have I missed something?

Hawk also has countless articles on monochorionic pregnancies: two identical fetuses (individual humans to the FDS) sharing one placenta. I am indebted to him for reminding me that "the neat thing is that the fetuses are exchanging whole blood between the two of them 'naturally' because there is only one placenta!!!" Our Grand Architect knows this. Is this still a secret?

I find the presentation of this article particularly galling and patronizing. And really unsatisfying. Then again, the FDS has much to be modest about. It is very good at keeping organizational secrets when it comes to pedophiles.

What are your thoughts, and why?
