I have heard or read, many times by many exJW's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.
I am not a lawyer, but I would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.
On what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?
"I am suing the Watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?
Am I missing something?
Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?

That's what they do currently. "The JW decided that he didn't want blood so... yeah... not our fault!"
There are no lawsuits NOW because a JW decides to die because of no blood... why would there be any lawsuits THEN if the Watchtower decided to remove that blood ban??
I don't get it... -

wt hierarchy leaders don't give a damn if people take blood or not
they've shown they don't care about people
the reason they keep the "no blood" thing (despite "allowing" blood via "fractions")
is because they get a profit off pushing blood fraction products and devices
they have stock in big pharma
and they are in bed with the un as regards the w.h.o. agenda thing
(they want to please the un so they can get into more countries and take $$ from poor people)
it's the same reason they pushed the covid vaccine
they got money for promoting it
the hlc/his are like drug reps who know more about "blood fraction" products/devices than most pharmaceutical company reps
wt leaders are using the local brothers as free labor to promote products for an ungodly purpose

the wt leaders already know their current stance on blood is unscriptural
their motivation is money and power and corrupting others
they get more power from satan by getting dumb jw's to take blood via fractions while thinking they're really abstaining from blood
that's why they won't change the doctrine - it's already corrupted and they like it that way
to them it's like illicit sex, they get a kick out of it
thing is, they're busted and now they have to pay the piper

Honestly,,,I believe they have a tiger by the tail. When it comes to their unchristian blood policy.

They always deny control over the decisions of individual JWs. The existence of sanctions and HLCs makes this a very difficult position to prove. They've "forced" people to deny themselves potentially lifesaving treatment for decades. Some of those people have died, who might otherwise have had a chance to live. Suddenly changing the doctrine that killed so many IOW, admitting that there was no justification for those deaths, is definitely going to open the legal floodgates.
They've killed so many people via the blood doctrine that they're now experiencing a warped version of the sunk cost fallacy.

(funny how nobody ever wants to check how many people die from blood products)
one estimate in one location in 1973 said "He estimates 3500 deaths and 50,000 illnesses a year. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta guesses higher. They put it at 35,000 deaths and 500,000 illnesses."

the watchtower leaders are bloodguilty as regards blood products
but it's not for saying "no blood transfusions"
it's because they promote the blood industry
instead of taking straight whole blood transfusion from one person
they promote taking blood fraction products that are made up of blood drawn from many many many people
so it's more like instead of committing fornication with one person
committing fornication with thousands of people
(sticking someone else's fluids in your body, someone you don't know - it's a very fast way to get sick quicker and mess up your body)
drs don't test for everything
so taking blood fraction products speeds up your death exponentially
by exposing you to more pathogens quicker

a better question to ask regarding watchtower ishow many people have they infected/hurt by recommending blood fraction products

IMO, the sunk cost fallacy is already pretty warped. 🤨

it's pretty warped to steal blood from the poor to give to the rich
and then use false advertising campaigns to get dupes to promote the product for you
(just like how wt dupes jw's into peddling watchtower literature for free, or building kh's for free and then selling them for profit)
it's amazing how j-dubs will defend the gb like they're heroes
same way people defend the freakin blood industry vampires like they're heroes
when they're actually blood-sucking perverts who steal lives
