I am wondering, did you link to the right video? I am getting the recent Convention video and it doesn't quite go to 5:00. I'm very curious to see the one you mention in your post.

Governing Body Just got Spanked
by Bill Covert inyesterday in watchtower documents there was published "flawed decrees conceal criminals.
barbara anderson examined the rnwt revision of lev.5:1 and revealed the wtb&ts to be deceptive as to applying it to congregation members being required to "tattle" on their brothers to expose sin.
she shows that is just not so as lev.5:1 has nothing to do with tattling.

That letter was WAY too long and poorly written (I didn't finish it), although you probably have legitimate points to make.
I'll get the information from Barbara Andersen's site.

"...To use blood for transfusion purposes, even in the case of an animal, would be improper. The Bible is very clear in showing that blood should not be eaten..." Watchtower 1964 2/15 p.127
Watchtower's main argument against transfusion is that eating blood and transfusing blood are the same thing - you are "consuming" it either way. Why does Watchtower think this should apply to animals, since eating other animals, including the blood, is a way of life in the animal kingdom (as illustrated by compound complex's cat and mouse story above).
Not eating blood only applies to humans. I can't see a shred of logic to prohibiting transfusion for animals.

They have a point...
by James Mixon inlast week in the sunday meeting a sister made a comment and collapsed, a massive heart attack.
one of the young brothers is a fireman and he gave her mouth mouth and according to the doctor this saved her life.
so if she had missed the meeting that day she would have surly died because her husband is not in great health.

I can see you folks are not sold on the idea of not forsaking the assembling of ourselves..
You can't draw sweeping conclusions based on isolated events. 'Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves' and the example of a woman having a heart attack at a KH are completely unrelated. Your conclusion that "So it shows how important are the meetings.." is without merit, it's false logic.
Did you not notice Jwfacts remarks about the woman killed after the memorial? He was making the point that isolated events don't prove anything.

Well written.
In addition to Watchtower's child sex abuse policies the author managed to work in the bad effects of organized shunning as well as the no blood transfusion issue, which resulted in a mother's death.
It was very good negative exposure!

Watch Tower didn't stop their endearment to William Miller till c. 1926, the last reference to Father Miller (not simply Brother Miller)
Do you have that reference handy? Would love to see what it says.

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?
by minimus ini remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

"Even the very worst Jehovah's Witness is better than the very best worldly person."
I've heard this a few times. One of them was from the platform at a meeting.

I left because of Organizational dishonesty. (Watchtower is one of the most dishonest religions organizations ever invented by man.)
