"Or are they doing so because the restrictions have been lightened?"
Isn't this interesting. The GB says it is so. So it is so! But yesterday it was not so. Do the JW'w think about this? Nope they just go "Okay, now we can do it." If the GB said it was okay now to carry a gun in this "wicked" world would they all carry guns. Yep! If the GB said you men can all now have more wives, would they say something and wonder? Nope, they'd think "Wow, more anniversarys we can celebrate!" If the GB said, "Preach to your neighbors at midnight, but only on a full moon", would they? You bet. Look at before. How many lives were lost on the vacines issue and the organ transplant issue and now on the blood issue which as it stands can save lives to some extent. But the JW's don't know themselves what is allowed and not. Some are dying not knowing they could live with-in the Society's own standards of the blood issue! And they consider this freedom? They can't think hard enough to rebel!
