How many JW's contracted Polio between 1931 and 1963 ?

Question

How many died or were permanently crippled.

The fact is that for 31 years, the Watchtower Society did not allow members to recieve vaccinations resulting in disabilities and deaths. Then, quietly in 1963, they changed their policy saying it was up to the individual. Today, almost all JW's get vaccinations, but are not allowed to get blood transfusions. How soon before they change their doctrine on this.

And more importantly, perhaps. How can a church which is so sure about its doctrine being correct(to the point of considering all who disagree heretics) keep on changing its mind and still be so anal about their own doctrine.

Answer 1

You are absolutely right in your analyses!

All the best!/

Answer 2

What has this to do with other religions allowing immorality to flourish in the Churches, their getting into bed with the world's governments, and making the churches into money pits?

I notice there are no copies of articles forbidding use of the polio vaccine, but watch Discovery Health, most churches oppose the vaccine in the beginning. Why not ask all the others the same question?

Ask for changing its mind, at least they work toward the better, and staying in the light of Christ, rather than staying on the edges, not quite in the shadows, not quite in the light.

Answer 3

All acts are up to each of us. I personally would not choose to get a blood transfusion, My Choice. Anyone who blaims an organisation for their choices is to pitied.

As for your question, I don't know, you could try asking Witnesses this POLITELY the next time they come to your door.
