Would this throw yet another wrench at the JW blood policy?
by ILoveTTATT ingiven that jw's accept the same substances found in blood, such as albumin, if they are found in other places, could doctors perhaps extract white blood cells from mother's milk and give this to jw's?
they are still white blood cells, i guess they would do the same function as "white blood cells from blood", while throwing a huge wrench at the jw blood policy..... lots of jw's (and outsiders) would ask themselves,.
can't get white blood cells from blood, but can get white blood cells from mother's milk?.

Are foreign-language groups at a disadvantage when learning TTATT?
by ILoveTTATT inthe watchtower library cd in spanish only goes back to watchtowers of 1970. this means that, for example, www.ajwrb.org 's info regarding blood can only be confirmed in articles from then onward.
english-speaking jw's can access information on watchtowers going back to 1950. this means that the "worship jesus" article (1954) is not available, the "we officially ban organ transplants" (1967) is not available, etc.. congregations in the u.s. and canada have had witnesses since... well... the beginning.
most kh libraries have very old books; it is relatively easy to find books going back to the very first watchtower!!

Why are the moms so attached to religion?
by ILoveTTATT inplease don't take this the wrong way, i would love it for women to comment on this thread because i just can't understand something!!.
here's the pattern i see:.
mostly guys in here.. if the guys are married, their wives usually stay a jw, or it takes 3 times as much time to convince a woman to leave than a man.. if the guys have a jw father, the father is open-minded and can be more easily persuaded to leave.

What would be the best decision if we took out all the religion out of the blood issue?
by ILoveTTATT ini am wondering this:.
what surgeries/procedures/situations have been shown to be life-or-death decisions without blood?.
i only know, currently, of trauma (car accident, gunshot wound, etc).... what would be treatable exclusively with "no blood fractions" and with "no procedures using my blood"?.

Ideas to increase cognitive dissonance
by ILoveTTATT inok so from the help of various people, i now have thought of various ways to increase cognitive dissonance without showing "apostate reasoning"... usually it works by highlighting other beliefs (sorry people if someone here is of any of the faiths i will mention... i do not mean to insult, just to save my family and friends from the wt...) and portraying them as "bad" when we have had exactly the same beliefs at one point!!
(i will try the nathan-david approach... you are the man!!!).
vaccinations: "i find it soooo stupid that some religions reject vaccinations!!
