In this episode of Apostate: JW, we uncover one of the most sobering aspects of Jehovah’s Witness life — the blood doctrine and the Governing Body’s wider medical control.
From refusing transfusions to banning organ transplants, from stigmatizing mental health to flip-flopping on vaccines, the Watchtower has repeatedly put obedience above survival. Along the way, countless lives have been lost,families have been fractured, and tragedies have been paraded as “victories of faith.”
I’ll trace the history, share personal connections from my own family, expose the contradictions, and contrast these teachings with the mercy and life Jesus himself offered.
This is not just about doctrine. It’s about control. And it’s about finding freedom beyond it.
