A 1995 study by Dr. Kaaron Benson[1] of patients treated at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute from October 1986 through February 1994 shows a picture of the community of Jehovah’s Witnesses that runs contrary to that painted by Watchtower.
Watchtower says:
Dr. Benson writes:
What Watchtower fails to mention in its 1994 article is that, when it comes to children, a large portion of the Witness community demonstrates its lack of conviction in Watchtower’s blood doctrine. Based on Dr. Benson’s survey of young Witness patients, at least 80% (5 out of 6) accept “allogeneic red blood cell transfusions” when needed or else their Witness parents accept it on their behalf and without need of court-order.[1]
This further evidences that Watchtower’s blood doctrine is not now and never has been wholly endorsed by the greater community of Jehovah’s Witnesses.[2-4]
