Is the governing body any different from Osama Bin Laden?

    Justifying people willing dying over the blood tranfusion issue is the same as Osama justifying killing anyone who did not agree with his religious beliefs??

    Not at all. Anyone who refuses a blood transfusion does so of their own free will. No one forced them. This includes accepting the consequences that may bring, including death, although this is very rare.

    I think that the GB would be more like Osama with the DA'ing policy for people who DO take transfusions. If you don't go along with their religious belief, they "cut you off" by basically ruling that you disassociated yourself. In essence, if their belief in Armageddon was true, they would be signing your death sentence. It's already been printed that they DF you (no different from an assumption of you DA'ing yourself with a transfusion) because they can't stone you to death like in ancient times. So there you have it.

    I can see shovels are going to be needed when you post..

    The BS is pretty deep..

    JW`s who take a Blood Transfusion will be disfellowshipped and they will lose their family and friends..

    There is severe penalty for JW`s going against WBT$ Rules..

    At least Osama openly admits that he is responsible for the deaths of many as opposed to the GB who take NO responsibility.

    A point that bears repeating...

    They just shovel over it with more bullshit and loosen the reigns a bit to include blood fractions...WHY? Because they KNOW their erroneous doctrine has caused many deaths. They also know that MANY "old school" JW's will NOT take fractions because of the original stance on blood being pounded into their thick skulls for so many years. They talk about "Babylon the Great" being "drunk with the blood of the holy ones"...yet they're drunk with power that's been BOUGHT with the blood, sweat, and tears of their own people!

    The various "Liasion' or "Volunteer" committees or groups monitor Witnesses in the hospital - and can report back on whether or not they obey Watchtower rules, so that their victims can be "disassociated" if they refuse to die for the Watchtower's misinterpretations of Acts 15.

    If you think I'm not telling the truth, ask yourself a question: the Society has congregations maintain these "committees" in regard to the blood transfusion issue, right? The elders are ordered/organized to do that, right?

    Are they specifically ordered or commissioned to do the same with regard to all other illnesses that might kill someone or put them in the hospital? Or is that just 'catch as catch can'?
