we're  more  healthy  with  Jehovah's  help !!
 

Lets  always  stay  loyal  to  Jehovah  -  we  never  will  regret.  All  JW  have  a  little  different  conscience...  but  we  all  can  choice  a  good  alternative  to  a  blood  transfusion ❤

HEART TRANSPLANTATION IN JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES....
According to Organ Procurement and Transplantation, only about 2,600 donor hearts are available each year. At any given time, about 4,000 people are on the waiting list for a heart transplant.
In the past, people with religious objections to blood transfusions refused this and other resuscitation procedures. But for many, surgery is now possible without conflict with faith.
Raoul Gibson, 35, received the heart of a donor at Duke Hospital on the last Valentine's Day. Normally, he would have had to refuse the transplant to save lives, due to a certain principle of his Jehovah's Witnesses faith.
"The fact that I was not going to accept blood, blood transfusions, or any whole blood product," Gibson said.
Ten years ago, Duke started his Center for Blood Conservation. They developed a process for any surgery involving transfusions to control bleeding. Dr. Mani Daneshmand said that they worked closely with representatives of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Gibson was hospitalized for more than a month, receiving a natural hormone to stimulate the production of red blood cells.
Later they are allowed to remove some of their blood, yet they remain true to a key principle.
"We actually keep the blood in continuity with its own blood, but we remove it so the blood can not bleed," Daneshmand said.
That more concentrated blood is replaced with other non-blood fluids, so a little bleeding will not present problems.
There is also a "cell protector" device.
"So any blood that is lost is absorbed immediately by that apparatus and returned to the bloodstream," Daneshmand said.
"They wash all the organs before they put them on me, so they would not be exposed to blood," Gibson said.
Gibson said he is anxious to return home and enjoy a more normal life.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how my new heart feels and how I'm going to be able to do new things," Gibson said.

Awww,  so beautiful flowers my dear Sister, thank you very much????? A wonderful idea, I love flowers  Again thank you, Sister Elisabeth. 

Matt. 24 : 29 - 42
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.
32 “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41 Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

Matt. 24 : 19 - 22
. 19 Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20 Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.

ONLY  A  LITTLE  WHILE.....  THEN  JEHOVAH  WILL  SAY :  Y E S  >>>>>>>>>>

A very encouraging story. Love it ????

Maybe,  thats  also  one  of  the  tests,  Jehovah  makes  with  us  before  Armageddon ?  Lets  ask  ourselves,  how  would  handle  our  conscience  with  this  50 cent ?
What it means to be faithful
3 "was Moses. . . As a servant faithful "is to be read in Hebrews 3: 5. What did the faithfulness of the Prophet Moses show? In the making of the components and in the erection of the pen hut ", [Moses] went to do according to all that Jehovah had commanded him. He did likewise "(Exodus 40:16). Our loyalty to the worship of Jehovah is also demonstrated by obedient ministry. This also means that we remain loyal to Jehovah in difficult trials or hard trials. But not only the existence of great examinations is decisive. Jesus said, "He that is faithful in the least is faithful in many things, and whoever is unjust in the least is also unjust in many things" (Luke 16:10). We should therefore also be faithful in supposedly small things.

Indeed....  JEHOVAH  *IS*  LOVE❤  thats  more  than  a  human  ever  can  reach !  HIS   LOVE  can  reach  and  fill  HIS  whole  Creation ! ;-))   ❤ ❤ ❤

Jehovah gave his only-begotten Son as a ransom for us ❤

Getting to know Jehovah is one way to show that you appreciate his gift of the ransom...
HOW CAN YOU SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION?
18 Why should we be deeply grateful to Jehovah for the ransom? Well, a gift is especially precious when it involves a sacrifice of time, effort, or expense on the part of the giver. Our heart is touched when we see that a gift is an expression of the giver’s genuine love for us. The ransom is the most precious of all gifts, for God made the greatest sacrifice ever in providing it. “God loved  the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,” says John 3:16. The ransom is the most outstanding evidence of Jehovah’s love for us. It is also proof of Jesus’ love, for he willingly gave his life in our behalf. (Read John 15:13.) The gift of the ransom should therefore convince us that Jehovah and his Son love us as individuals.—Galatians 2:20.
19 How, then, can you demonstrate that you appreciate God’s gift of the ransom? To begin with, get to know the Great Giver, Jehovah. (John 17:3) A study of the Bible with the aid of this publication will help you to do that. As you come to know Jehovah, your love for him will deepen. In turn, that love will make you want to please him.—1 John 5:3.
20 Exercise faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. Regarding Jesus, it is said: “The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life.” (John 3:36) How can we exercise faith in Jesus? Such faith is not shown by words alone. “Faith without works is dead,” says James 2:26. Yes, true faith is proved by “works,” that is, by our actions. One way to show that we have faith in Jesus is by doing our best to imitate him not just in what we say but also in what we do.—John 13:15.
21 Attend the annual observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal. On the evening of Nisan 14, 33 C.E., Jesus introduced a special observance that the Bible calls “the Lord’s Evening Meal.” (1 Corinthians 11:20; Matthew 26:26-28) This observance is also called the Memorial of Christ’s death. Jesus instituted it to help his apostles and  all true Christians after them to bear in mind that by means of his death as a perfect human, he gave his life, or soul, as a ransom. Regarding this observance, Jesus commanded: “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19) Observing the Memorial reminds us of the great love shown by both Jehovah and Jesus in connection with the ransom. We can show our appreciation for the ransom by being present at the yearly observance of the Memorial of Jesus’ death. *
22 Jehovah’s provision of the ransom is indeed an invaluable gift. (2 Corinthians 9:14, 15) This priceless gift can benefit even those who have died. Chapters 6 and 7 will explain how.

Here is a notebook for the 2017 Regional Convention. TB

God is love.—1 John 4:16.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/20
Imagine what life would be like if God did not have love for mankind. We merely have to look at the awful history of this world with its human rulerships under its unloving and wrathful god, Satan the Devil. (2 Cor. 4:4; 1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:9, 12) This shows us how horrible the future would be if the universe were to function without the operation of God’s love. When rebelling against Jehovah’s rule, the Devil challenged the rightfulness and righteousness of God’s universal sovereignty. In effect, Satan claimed that his rule would be better than that of the Creator. (Gen. 3:1-5) Though Jehovah permitted Satan to try to prove his side of the issue, such permission was temporary. In his great wisdom, Jehovah has allowed enough time to pass to expose very clearly the inadequacy of any rule other than his. The miserable record of mankind shows that neither humans nor Satan can provide what we need in the way of good rulership. w15 11/15 3:3, 4

Train Your Child to Serve Jehovah
All those for whom I have affection, I reprove and discipline.—Rev. 3:19.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/19
Although Jesus’ disciples repeatedly argued about who was the greatest among them, Jesus did not give up on them. He also did not ignore it when they failed to respond to his counsel. Lovingly and mildly, Jesus reproved them at a suitable time and place. (Mark 9:33-37) Show your love for your children by disciplining them. It is sometimes enough to explain why a certain course is right or wrong. At other times, a child may fail to apply what you say. (Prov. 22:15) When that happens, imitate Jesus. At a fitting time and place, discipline your child lovingly and mildly through patient guidance, training, and correction. “My parents never disciplined me in anger or without explaining why I was being disciplined,” says Elaine, a sister in South Africa. “As a result, I felt secure. I knew my boundaries, and I understood what was required of me.” w15 11/15 1:5, 6
