NO, I mentioned people with Tourette's. I wonder how the Society handles such a person, who makes weird noises and often curse uncontrollably
lol, I saw that only on a tv show once. I don't even know how to handle that other than try to ignore it and not laugh. The hemophiliac JW is an excellent example of the-
take but don't give- rationale of the Watchtower which is inherent in much of what they do including their charity teachings.
Watchtower 2021 May p.7
"People may also feel that we should build schools and hospitals as well as perform other charitable works. They are stumbled because we focus our effort on the preaching work, not on solving the world's immediate problems. ... Never should we become distracted by the political and social issues of this world."
Watchtower 2017 May p.7
"Like the neighborly
Samaritan in Jesus’ illustration, we want to help suffering people, including those who are not Witnesses. (Luke 10:33-37) The best way to do so is by sharing the good news with them. “It is important to make clear right away that we are Jehovah’s Witnesses and that our primary mission is to help them spiritually, not materially,” notes an elder who has taught many refugees. “Otherwise, some may associate with us only for personal advantage.”
--Unfortunately, even what they do give.. their "good news" is their own new false gospel.
You might be interested in this map-
"The Map’s goal is to combat the false notion promoted by the leaders of the Watchtower organization that “most Witnesses survive their health crisis
without the use of blood.” This map, even though it only provides a snapshot of known and reported cases, shows a very contradictory and disturbing picture. " I don't know how often this map has been updated, if ever.
JWs refuse blood. Many die. Black markers denote death. Red markers denote patient survived Crimes Committed by Jehovah's Witnesses The AJWRB Map is a database of cases where the issue of blood donations and in the past many other kinds of transplants have been reported int he media or by...

I am fairly sure last
death count ajwrb had was 42,000+ JW deaths due to their blood policy.
Considering that all of the blood fractions in the chart below are allowed it is very sad indeed. Too many don't understand it, and many who do understand it refuse anyway seeing the hypocrisy and out of the fear implanted into them.
Whole blood is practically never used by doctors. It's almost always components or fractions. People don't know that.
The ban on white cells is extra absurd- a baby drinks mom's white cells during nursing, but if that baby needs white cells they refuse them.-- even IF it is the mother's own white cells. No donating allowed by Jws. And all components go through mom's placenta to baby. So none of makes even a lick of sense.
And of course the deaths of emergency trauma patients and pregnancy complications is ongoing.
Jws taut EPO drugs- but before taking one they are asked their blood type and the reason for that is it needs to match the blood type it is made from. EPO's are actually made from whole blood.
My mom took EPO's- super expensive. Big pharma loves the Watchtower. They demand these new drugs and JWs pay big money for them. My mom had no idea why they needed her blood type, and I remained quiet because she needed to do something. There are a lot of very serious side effects with EPOs.- black box warnings. Jws like to argue that blood makes money. 1 unit of blood is btwn 250-600. My mom's EPO was 1,000 per shot. She took over 5 shots. It put her in what they call the donut hole in her Medicare- they stop paying. Pharma is making a lot of money here-- much more than blood.
They have zero arguments, but that doesn't stop them from trying.
It is a medical preference and they should leave it at that.
The Watchtower has fully convinced Jws that they
will get a disease from blood products. It is a hugely blown out of proportion lie to keep them in line, but you cant convince JWs of that. You know how that goes. If you look at the chart they are slowly changing this policy and that is how they make all changes. It avoids the shock value. Meanwhile though, JWs and their kids are dying.- JWs don't believe that either. It's always the problem. even when they praise the ones who died.. it still doesn't happen.
Everyone lies except the watchtower....because... they said so.
While "bloodless" medicine is interesting, it is a misnomer most of the time ( EPO's and fractions are used)- those hospitals are not an option for many. So while some Jws may live, others die due to location. There are approx 100 hospitals that offer
some level of 'bloodless" care in the USA now, but they are even more scarce in the rest of the world. That leaves many Jws out in the cold who die.
The black box warning side effects of these new drugs should never be ignored. All medical has risks, but JWs need to be informed without the WT bias. Natural is always better- why are they forbidden from donating their own blood before surgery?!!
