Talk:Jehovah's Witnesses and blood transfusions

message: Is it a good idea to use these verbs rather than "say" or "state"? Shouldn't we replace them per WP:CLAIM? Cathfolant 19:36, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Some instances should probably be changed. Where a claim is irrefutably wrong, such as the 'claims' by Alonzo Shadman, it is probably better left as a claim.--Jeffro77 (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

text: Shadman's claim that "poisons that produce the impulse to commit suicide, murder, or steal are in the blood" is indeed "NOT based in fact". The naive claim that 'suicide, murder and stealing' are directly triggered by 'poisons' in a person's blood (rather than much more complex neurology) is a fringe theory and should not be presented as if factual. As for other instances, instead of complaining, why don't you bother to actually just change them?--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:39, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  As world-leading neuroendocrinologist I would say he has a point. Hormones are powerful things. But when it comes to religion, the degree to which any statement can be construed in fact is itself widely besides the point. People belief things. Then they make up stories because they hate backing down. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:F1DE:5C8E:2E7B:3440 (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that the article description has been vandalized by someone who claims that the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses "do not even give blood to children which I think is crazy". This should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.153.94.28 (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not clear what you are referring to. The article does not contain the stated text, and was not removed in a recent edit. Perhaps you're at the Talk page for the wrong article???--Jeffro77 (talk) 00:19, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

text: Or it could have been the Wikidata short description perhaps, that is only shown on mobile (but can also be overriden using , if I remember (and I'm unsure, as the documentation says both can coexist)).  Unfortunately, if so, Wikidata has its own patrollers who don't necessarily crossover with en-Wikipedia ones, despite the interwiki damage.  —PaleoNeonate – 05:01, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No  template is or was present, and the only unprotected transcluded template does not and did not include the stated text. However, I have just checked the mobile version of the article and the text in question does appear. I will investigate further...--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:40, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
