Question
Hi DH its me again
Since JW are not allowed to take blood from the 4 major components...I was reading that breastmilk actually has WHITE BLOOD cells...did you know this?
Do you know if the society speaks about this? and what is their position on such thing?

Wow. No, I did not know this information. I'm not sure if they do either, as I know that breast milk is certainly not forbidden in this religion. And I know of no publication that deals with this. There may be one, but I don't know which one it is.
Interesting....I am going to do some reading on this. Thanks for the info.
Take care, and God bless.

Expertise
I was raised in the religion known as Jehovah`s Witnesses for 13 years. Since becoming a born-again Christian, I have researched extensively this religion, especially their doctrines and their history. I can answer questions about their doctrines from the perspective of Biblical Christianity. To be clear: Jehovahs Witnesses is the religion of my upbringing, though I myself was never baptized into the religion, nor have I ever been considered as a Jehovahs Witness.
Experience
23 years of Biblical research into the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, and how they differ from the teachings of the Watchtower.
Education/Credentials
High School, some college. Studies of God's Word, the Bible, and how it compares to JW theology. I have found my own personal study and experiences to be far more valuable than any formal education or training. The Bible message is clear...Salvation is ONLY through and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and no religious organization has a thing to do with it. While attendance at a Bible-preaching, Bible-believing church is a must for spiritual growth and fellowship, no church can grant salvation to its members. Nor is joining a particular group a prerequisite for being saved.
