I just wrote this in an email to a good friend of mine, and I liked the logic so I thought I'd share....
Imagine what an ass you would feel like if you refused to vaccinate your children back in the 50's based on WT policy and one of your kids contracted one of the incurable diseases that vaccines prevent? No thanks. I WON'T drink that kool-aid. The WT track record on medical advice based on their interpretation of scripture is woefully inept. It changes, as modern science proves their advice to be deadly, The only one they haven't really backed down on fully yet is blood, although God knows they are trying to float out every loophole imaginable (ie you can take fractions) However, the honorable thing to do, if they REALLY wanted to save lives and prevent suffering - would be to renounce their policy and make taking ANY blood transfusion a private decision and a conscience matter. Just based on their own track record of flip flopping it would be the right thing to do. Their track record proves they CAN BE WRONG. So why mess with people lives? The WT is basically saying "We were wrong on all those other medical policies but we are FOR SURE RIGHT when it come to refusing to take whole blood." Yeah, right. Butchers of Brooklyn.... Stop the madness. The Oracle
