The blood issue has been an ongoing arguement between the roomie and me. Not heated, by any means, but she keeps qouting back established WTS reasoning on the subject.
"It's feeding, Jason. When you take it into your veins it's called feeding." So I let it go. I don't want the discussion to become contentious so I just drop it.
While lurking the other day I came across the pdf of Leavingwt's disassociation letter. For myself, I never realized the historical record of whacko medical advise that has come out of this organization. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore, but I was. I printed out the letter and went to the sofa to read it again, this time with her sitting there watching the tube.
"Whatcha read'n?"
I told her I had been doing more research on the blood issue and came across this letter. I left it on the coffee table and went to bed. She told me the next day she had read the letter and was very impressed.
"It has a greater impact when it's logical and well reasoned like that. Intelligently stated. But the thing that gave it the most credibility was that it was presented with kindness and a level head, not spiteful, angry, hateful."
I agreed. That's the same reason Ray Franz's work is respected by so many and has accomplished so much good, given the credibility that comes with a cool head and responsible presentation.
Thanks for your help, LeavingWT. I think the roomies blood card may end up in the garbage heap where it belongs some day.
