Hmmm...

They're a nice little brooklyn book publishing company. They claim to be the only true religion.

What else is there to be said?

That was more of a rhetorical question than an actual request, Gill.

As many know, I've continually put forward the suggestion that the WT's objection to blood transfusions may have arisen from the fear of Whites receiving Blacks' blood.

Well, lookee here what I found at AfricanAmerican.com. It's an article about Dr. Charles Drew who pioneered the use of stored blood and blood banks. It seems Britain hailed and welcomed his accomplishments, while of course, America was a different story. Here's an excerpt.

At the height of World War II, Nazi warplanes were bombing British cities regularly and there was a desperate shortage of blood to treat the wounded. In order to meet the huge demand for plasma, Drew initiated the use of "bloodmobiles"trucks equipped with refrigerators. The Red Cross has continued to use them during blood drives. In 1941 after the success of "Blood for Britain," Drew became director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank in New York. He was asked to organize a massive blood drive for the U.S. Army and Navy, consisting of 100,000 donors. However, when the military issued a directive to the Red Cross that blood be typed according to the race of the donor, and that African American donors be refused, Drew was incensed. He denounced the policy as unscientific, stating that there was no evidence to support the claim that blood type differed according to race. His statements were later confirmed by other scientists, and the government eventually allowed African American volunteers to donate blood, although it was still segregated. Ironically, in 1977 the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, D.C., was renamed the Charles R. Drew Blood Center.

I believe with all my heart that Clayton J. Woodworth, who is mainly responsible for the Society's stance on blood, was affected by this attitude. The time frame certainly fits.

Your thoughts, please.

Only when the WTS prints it's last litertrash and closes it doors forever, and all the JWs have DAd themselves!

Without more research, one can only say that it certainly seems plausible.

They keep printing more garbage, so there's plenty more to comment on.

John Doe

Is there anything about any subject that hasn't been said, generally speaking?

It certainly does.

I shall persist in uncovering whatever I can.

Thanks for the replies, y'all.
