Would a breast-milk based blood substitute work?

  Okay, The WTBTS condones eating bone marrow, even though it is full of red blood cells, cos in the bible it says that the Jews ate it.

  The WTBTS condones drinking milk even though it contains huge numbers of white blood cells. (As much as 750 000, and 1 000 000 per cubic centimeter) because the Jews drank it.

  Query - if somebody needed a transfusion of white cells what would be wrong with getting human females to express and donate milk, so the white cells could be harvested and used? After all anybody who drinks milk consumes them every day.

  Would it be okay as long as the donor was not a Dub? After all, the net result would be the same as loose conduct, allowing a man who is not her husband to suck her breasts. Since Judah could go to a Gentile prostitute without censure, presumably a Dub could take worldly breast milk-cells? This is a serious question as white blood saves lives.

  Mmmmmmmmmm...breast milk...'breakfast of champions'.

  Fresh breast milk has always been my preferred method of getting my 'recommended daily allowance' of white blood cells.

  Is there such a thing as a white cell transfusion?

  Is bone marrow really full of red blood cells? Because a bone marrow transplant is not forbidden by the WTS. But come to think of it any transplant will be full of red blood cells anyway.

  The ban on blood transfusions and vaccinations (at one time) was do to the thinking of Clayton J. Woodworth and Fred Franz.

  It would be an insult to any human being to die for the beliefs of Woodworth, the man was incredibly ignorant concerning matters of science and medicine, and yet at the same time he was incredibly opinionated, prideful and arrogant! What a combination.

  When the complete set of The Golden Age magazines are republished on CDs by Research Applications International (RAI), it will become apparent what sort of thinking led to the ban on vaccines and blood transfusions.

  The Watchtower is not going to like it when the stupidity they published during the 1920's and '30's is exposed for all to read.

  This is indeed a strange sounding topic for a thread, but it is important.

  Here is the question to be asked:

  Does mother's milk contain blood elements that are forbidden to be taken under current JW/Watchtower doctrine?

  If the answer is "Yes", then has the Watchtower explained why its publications for many years have encouraged mothers to breast feed their infants?

  I know JWs that even give their children colostrum tablets. Colostrum is packed with white blood cells.

  Then what is the point of the Blood doctrine?

  Its only purpose appears to be to test people how far they will go in following the Watchtower!!!

  On the cover of the magazine showing children who died because of refusing blood was the title in large letters "Youths who put God First". It should have been "Youths who put The Watchtower First"!!!
