Thanks LE,
I did find the site (before). Thanks for the link. I've been going over the material and hopefully I can come up with something.
The sight is very nice. But the issue is complex because blood transfusions can be harmful. It's not as though one is advocating a compeltely harmless and healthful procedure.
I hadn't seen the WTS blood issue reference at their public relations site though I expected something like that.
Remember when you first wrote your letter to the WTS? We all died for you as you waited and waited for a reply. Those of us oldies knew the WTS' arrogance wouldn't give you the time of day, but you were so taken aback by it. It was hard on all of us.
So you certainly can count this as a semi-victory!
You have forced them to address your issue, that's for sure! It certainly is due to your bringing this issue to the forefront that likely they are forced to defend themselves publicly this way.
So you definitely have them on the run. Maybe they might be bullied into backing off their position on the blood issue after all, at least to allow individuals to make up their own minds, if only because the Biblical position can be seen from different angles.
I'll keep you posted onn what I come up with.
Cheers,
Bibleman
