I wonder how many will be asking the elders after this meeting which procedures the elders are choosing, or which ones they should choose, or calling the local HLC or WTS administration to help them make their decisions or better yet, make the decision for them?
Whoops, can't tell them They must make their own decision. How do they do that when the GB has disconnected their brains?

I believe the blood policy is gradually being done away with.
Balsam I totally agree. We definately seem to be on the cusp.
I wanted to attend that meeting,too. But family time is more important than 2 hours at a KH- I would have worn my yarmulke and stood up and told them to ask a Jew why they all agree that a blood transfusion is not the same as eating blood. I am not surprised in the lack of questions. When I was an elder I hated unannounced questions- they made me look stupid. - questions are to be discouraged to prevent that from happening.
Six months after this meeting, about 5 out of the over 150 present filed a HC-POA and the JW medical staff at the clinic could not explain it to the doctors and administration of the clinic.
Most JWs are notoriously bad procrastinators.
I've also noticed that many are in Hyper JW mode at the meetings and in field service, but then turn off as soon as these events are over. It's like a switch in their heads that turns on and off.

The fact they allow the use of packed red blood cells, hemopure which is made from the red blood cells from cow's blood shows that.
They allow "packed red blood cells" now ?
When? Where?
Damn, my JW Mom sure could have used THAT "spiritual food at the proper time" a few years ago. But...'old light' killed her at the 'improper' time I guess.
Thank you, Governing Body, for that 'timely' information. We can always depend on you guys !

That's what angers me when I think about this "new light." What about all those blind followers who died in the years before, months before, weeks and DAYS BEFORE the GB decided it was ok for them to have a choice!!!
It makes my blood boil !!!
A city-wide meeting was held in one large city with JWs and a no-blood clinic. The clinic only requested that JWs file a HC-POA with them some time prior to any operation. The elders and others assured them that would take place. Six months after this meeting, about 5 out of the over 150 present filed
Blondie: At a meeting just like that in California, the no-blood clinic director (a dub elder and former long-time HLC member) asked for a show of hands after the presentation. He wanted to know how many thought, in view of what they'd just seen and heard, that they would avail themselves of all these "conscience matter" options. If there were 150 in the room, 148 raised their hands. He then asked, "Any who would not?" and two crusty old farts in the back stuck their hands up defiantly.
Even so, I would bet the number of HC-POA's generated by that group was no better than the one you referenced above.

Exactly. These very ones seem to be forgotten. How will the WTBLOODTHIRSTY SOCIETY ever make up for this genocidal loss?
