So is the fact that the WBTS lessesd the penalty on dicipline for receiving a blood transfusion 7 years ago "Old News"?
I don't remember it being announced in any of the magazxines or publications.
Is this like when they said it was ok to have Organ transplants, or to receive Vaccinations?
Will it go something like this: Having a blood transfusion was a Disfellowshipping offense....Now it is a Disassosciating offense...
From a disassosciating offense ..to a matter of consciense....
From a matter of conseience to a command to follow the "New Light" and a commmand to partake
From "New Light" command to..a disfellowshipping offense for not having a blood transfusion and considered suicide...?
We all have watched this pattern with other Witness edicts...What abouyt this one...We all can see this coming!

I am sorry that you didn't get your personal notification..However millions of other people DID through the publicly available Watchtower magazine that is distributed by the millions of copies monthly.
Where it said in the 15th Jun 2000 issue- 'Hence, some Christians reject such (blood) products, just as they reject transfusions of whole blood or of its four primary components. Their sincere, conscientious stand should be respected.'
Perhaps if you had read the magazines you would have known the truth.

We have all seen the actions people trying to find conspiracies and spread lies where there are none.
The fact of the matter is that the only conspiracies are in your head, and only those 'not' interested in truth will listen to your rants.

That's funny you say that, cuz I got a response on my blog about this post saying it was old news, too. But I never heard such a thing and obviously, neither did the head of another ministry who sent the article to me two days ago. What gives???

I could not get a very clear answer from them either to this kind of question. It is like they are afraid to say anything because they are not sure what is the organizations take on this issue. Sad
