I do hope the producers of this program will give an honest look at doing a program segment of this sort. I feel this would be a great subject for them. People need to become aware of the growing dissent among the people within the Watchtower Society. Especially the medical community.
My own experience in regards to the blood problems actually deal with organ transplants. When I was an active witness back in the seventies, my best freinds mother was very ill with failing kidneys. Of course at that time organ transplants were disallowed. Not long after this young women died leaving three children, the Watchtower did in fact change the policy. It is now ok to have organ transplants. This is just one of several reasons I had to leave this organization.
It's a shame that some of us have to hide our true identities for fear of reprisals from this religious organization. It would be nice if this program could help us get some of the facts out in the open. I'm willing to speak and help the producers in anyway possible.
I hope with all my heart that we can generate some more publicity for the cause of AJWRB.
