Blood as important as life?
Today I added a new article to my blog addressing Watchtower’s treatment of blood. It has Jehovah’s Witnesses treat blood as though it is as important as life. Problem is that Watchtower has a competing doctrine that exposes this treatment as false. My article documents this competition.
My article is titled Blood as important as life? and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2012/05/blood-as-important-as-life.html

Why is what is written in their own literature so often at odds with what they practice in their KH's?
I would also suggest that WT treats the symbol as being of greater value than what it symbolises . . . after all, life is idolatrously sacrificed to the symbol by JW's.

Good question. Let me think about that and get back. There may actually be a bit of sociological research out there explaining the phenomena. Then again it might just be good ole fashion incompetence. I'll look in to it.

That’s an astute observation. Since Watchtower would have Witnesses sacrifice life solely on the issue of blood then arguably has Witness place more importance on blood than life.
