  Blood — Transference?

  Watchtower doctrine has advanced the natural and healthy transference of blood constituents via the placenta as a basis for letting Witnesses accept blood “fractions”. There is a fundamental flaw in that particular proposition that presents an internal contradiction to Watchtower’s blood doctrine.

  In a new article on my blog I have attempted to explain this in common terms and with simplified illustrations to help readers understand the issue.

  The article is Blood — Transference? and it is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/02/blood-transference.html

  The facts are so simple. JWs have no understanding of the flaws of the blood doctrine.

  Very well done Marvin!

  Running Watchtower Farms made it absolutely impossible for them to be ignorant of the facts you describe.

  Unfortunately you are correct, and this is because Watchtower has trained the community of Jehovah’s Witnesses to look to it for information impinging doctrinal matters rather than doing their own research.

  Boy you got that right! You can’t run a dairy operation without regular monitoring of white cell levels in the milk!

  Watchtower’s dishonesty shows both in what it says and what it fails to say as it presents its doctrinal positions.

  A reader asked that I provide micrographs alongside my illustrations of transport across cellular barriers. I uploaded these micrographs today.

  The society should stick to just reading the Bible and encouraging others to read it as well because it is a good book. They should leave medicine and the practice of medicine to the professionals who already have extensive trainning (IMO). Doctors do not need the GB telling them what to do & how to do it!

  Good info Marvin.

  Thanks Marvin,

  So much of the mother's own blood is passed between a mother and child during breastfeeding. We'va all heard that the mother's milk passes along her immune system (i.e. immunoglobulins) to the baby.

  But did you know the mother's milk also can contain items the mother ate? Specifically, I am thinking of cow's milk proteins eaten by the mother. The mother's digestive system consumes the milk, and some of the dairy proteins are deposited in the milk. This might be good nutrition for some babies, but the unlucky suffer extreme colic. The cure? The mother stops eating any and all dairy. In a few days, the baby is usually cured.

  The Watch Tower had an argument that Christians could not take a blood transfusion because it was an eating of blood. But, both the mother's milk (and the cow's milk) are made from blood. So, does that mean that Jehovah God was wrong to create breastfeeding?
