I have had some experience with the JW’s on a forum board as well as them coming to the door two by two. They like Catholics have a unbiblical approach to the use of the word metaphor “drink blood”
Neither group looks to the spiritual understanding hid in the parable “to drink blood” as it pertains to walking by faith and not by sight. The meaning is given in another parable in the Old Testament showing the effect of the gospel (drink blood) being worked out.
I have had some experience with the JW’s coming to the door two by two. It would seem most of the time two women. Like perhaps not enough male volunteer’s.? I would ask where are the men and to be careful.
It’s a great principle being sent out two by two .Husband and wife as one. But I don’t think they should be sent alone especially in some areas. Even Deborah (the Bee) took along a man to show the whole world how to trust God as two working as one.
They simply literalize the parable (to drink blood) making the word of God without effect. One claims grape juice actually turns into real flesh and blood as in cannibalism. . Glorying in their own flesh. The other claim is if you drink it or take it in is an abomination it must be poured out.
The JW’s understanding (no blood transfusions) is a work to the father of lies .In that way he is a murderer from the beginning. . . .”Though shall surely not die.. Look at me and live. . .”

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
