Jehovah's Witnesses false teaching blood transfusion

Core thesis: Jehovah's Witnesses do not have to die; roughly three JWs die per day due to Watchtower's false blood transfusion teaching.

Opening statement of the livestream, framing the urgency and moral weight of the topic.

Mike introduces the Governing Body as the source of the blood transfusion doctrine, explaining the organizational structure of the JW movement.

Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower blood transfusion ban history

Historical timeline: The blood transfusion ban originated in Watchtower publications in 1945 and escalated to a disfellowshipping offense in 1961.

Mike traces the doctrinal history of the JW blood transfusion policy to show it is a human invention, not an ancient or consistent teaching.
