So tonight we wrapped up chap. 7 of "Keep in Ted's Laws"........blood (((Gene Smalley--favorite subject!)))
I did my best to drown out the whole subject as it is just too damn annoying!
But Bro Brouhaha conducting was really trying to sell the package! The one single comment that made me raise my hand even though I know I wasn't going to be called....(I am on comment probation still) was his absolute insistance that all in the congregation needed to be able to convey this was what their 'discerned, Jehovah honoring conscience' not to take no-no deemed blood therapies and not merely the current WT teachings.
If I had been called on I would have challenged his comment by pointing out that if the WTS sent a LTR next week saying they had been wrong but saw this now former policy as one of Jehovah's 'operations of errors' in order to bring better care via 'bloodless techniques' and that all members and associates could utilize the no-no blood in good conscience but still urged bloodless when able for it's multitude of benefits regarding recovery.... then every stinking one of them would in fact accept such therapies without so much as batting an eye.......not because of their own discened, Jehovah honoring conscience but because the WTS told they could!
On an up note, my daughter who was sitting with friends in the 'big girl' section told me she had the same thought as mine above! I am so proud of her! She even was whispering 'reason' to the two girls next to her and both agreed if they were dying they too would accept blood because if the issue was 'storage' as the Bro. Brouhaha said then fractions would have to be discounted as they are 'stored' after leaving your body!.... and did I mention I forgot to 'study' with her this week! God bless 9 year olds!
Anywho...... for those still 'in' how was your 25 minutes?
.................Gene I won't wish you harm, but I will toast your departure!...................
