That is an old article. Check this out http://www.ajwrb.org/basics/breaking.shtml

All this does is play on the non-JW's not understanding that essentially being "disfellowshipped" by the WTS results in the same treatment as "disassociating" oneself, being shunned by everyone JW including family members.

Is this "couching" one's words, misleading statements, lying by omission?

The article claims there are 12 members of the GB - but there are 10. If they are as uninformed on the rest of the matter as they are on that basic thing, I guess you can forget about the truthfullness of the article ...................

Common do you really thoguht that JW will change the policy in one shot? They will do small and separated in time gradual changes and at one point in history there will be allowance of blood transfusion, but you wouldn't notice how it happened. And if you do not notice, then JW wont either. They will think and will be tought that the policy was there allways only bad apostates and some unintelligent elders promoted strict blood transfusion prohibition. Just like it is now with 1925 1975

I thought this followed on from the Bulgarian issue. A PR exercise to make them seem OK really???
