Jehovah's Witnesses, who number six million worldwide, have suffered years of adverse publicity over blood transfusions.
It now looks like they quietly want to downplay this issue and to emphasise less controversial elements of the faith.
More than any time in history, mankind now faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly. -- Woody Allen
thanks for the information. I do believe this board has seen that a long time ago. The BMJ, Lee Elder, Dr. Muramoto had a very lenghty and extremely interesting debate about it.
Oh well . . . I hadn't been on the site for a while, and look what I miss!
I'll have to go back through the site, and read this thread . . .

1) It's called lying.
2) "Adverse publicity over blood transfusions" is disengenuous. Jehovah's Witnesses have suffered loss of membership over blood transfusions; including but not limited to 26 children.
Jehovah's Witnesses take blood IN EVERY FORM THAT IT EXISTS except for five specific forms. Even four of those five forms are okay if it's cow's blood, if I can understand the WAtchtower's senile ramblings in its publications.
You are even allowed to accept the forbidden five forms of blood ONE TIME if you express repentance.
