Queen Esther

A hospital in Bern refused to operate a Jehovah's Witness. The patient would not have accepted blood transfusion in an emergency. The man filed a complaint for racial discrimination, but he flashed in court. ( pay attention Brother's & Sister's... ) "Be thou determined not to eat the blood, for the blood is the soul, and thou shalt not eat the soul with the flesh." There are such and similar passages in the Bible which prompted members of Jehovah's Witnesses, often referred to as a sect, to renounce blood transfusions in medical treatments. For doctors, however, this wish is a dilemma for complications during surgery: on the one hand, the salvation of life is a simple measure, on the other the patient's self-determination right. A list hospital in the canton of Berne recently completely avoided this problem. It refused to allow Jehovah's Witnesses to carry out surgery on a herniated disc. The patient was then treated in another clinic, but filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office. The accusations are, among other things, attempted coercion against the hospital supply law and racial discrimination. The prosecutor, however, did not take the case. On the other hand, the Jehovah's Witnesses filed a complaint. Now the Supreme Court also concluded, in a leading judgment, that the hospital had not violated any law. Emergency situation for patient? The story began in September 2015. At that time, an attending physician registered Jehovah's Witnesses in a first hospital for the operation of discus hernia. After an interview with the anesthetist, the patient refused to sign a declaration of consent specially created for members of the religious community. It should be noted that blood transfusions may be carried out in an emergency. Because the patient did not want this, the anesthetist informed the doctor that the operation could not be performed. For the hospital was not ready to "let a patient bleed to death". However, the Jehovah's Witness believed that "there was no reason to consider a blood transfusion." It was a "small, routine operation." If he had not mentioned that he was a Jehovah's Witness, blood transfusion would never have been an issue, he believes. With the declaration of consent, the hospital had brought him into an emergency situation in which he had to decide between his conviction of faith and his "acute endangering" state of health. No racial discrimination On the other hand, the first-treatment hospital argued that non-discrimination of a particular religious community was the aim of the consent declaration. The point is that treatment can also be carried out in the event of an emergency according to the rules of medical art - so-called lege artis. In addition, the risk of a stronger hemorrhage "is not simply negligible". Both the public prosecutor's office and the judges appear to be on the side of the hospital. In particular, the facts of racial discrimination are not applicable. Although a list hospital is in principle subject to treatment. Moreover, the Jehovah's Witnesses would fulfill the prerequisites for being protected as a religious group by the Racism Discrimination Act. The decisive factor is not the size of the group, but it is regarded as such by its members and externally. Bleeding always possible Racial discrimination would, however, be present only if a clinic refused to provide services to individuals on account of their race, ethnicity or religion on the same terms as those offered to the public. In the current case, this is not true. For the Jehovah's Witnesses demanded a restriction in the form of a renunciation of blood transfusions. He also accepted his death in complications. However, professional ethics requires a doctor to do everything in his power to save a human life. For this reason, the health care law provides that no medical doctor can be compelled to seek treatment that does not correspond to his "ethical or religious convictions". It is also not relevant, as is probably a strong bleeding during an operation. This is always always possible and must be taken into account. Operation was not an emergency The judges also regard the accusation of the attempted coercion as untenable. It was not an emergency or an urgent operation. In the case of planned interventions, a hospital has the freedom to decide whether a treatment is acceptable under the desired conditions or not. In addition, the clinic did not want the Jehovah's Witnesses to be removed from his confession. She wanted to prevent the medical staff from being "forced to leave a possible sensible measure in a treatable emergency situation." Finally, the judges also conclude that the case is purely theoretical. After the cancellation, the physician could find another hospital in which the operation could be performed under the conditions desired by the patient and even on the originally scheduled date. The disputable service had thus been provided in its entirety.

Monday, July 3. 2017 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.—Matt. 23:12. It would be wrong to exalt individuals, even if they are anointed brothers of Christ. Speaking about Christian elders, the Bible encourages us to imitate the faith of those who take the lead, but it never commands us to elevate any human as our leader. (Heb. 13:7) True, the Scriptures speak of some as being “considered worthy of double honor.” However, such ones are worthy of honor, not because they are anointed, but because they “preside in a fine way” and “work hard in speaking and teaching.” (1 Tim. 5:17) Therefore, it would be embarrassing for those with a heavenly calling if others were to give them undue praise or attention. Worse still, if they received special treatment, anointed Christians might find it difficult to remain humble. (Rom. 12:3) None of us would want to cause one of Christ’s brothers to stumble!—Luke 17:2. w16.01 4:9 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/7/3

Por medio de él, ustedes fueron sellados con el espíritu santo prometido, que es una prenda por anticipado de nuestra herencia (Efes. 1:13, 14). Jehová les da a los ungidos espíritu santo en prenda, como un adelanto de lo que les espera en el futuro. Gracias a ello, sienten la plena y total seguridad de que han sido elegidos para vivir en el cielo (2 Cor. 1:21, 22; 5:5). Ellos están seguros de que han sido invitados... pero solo recibirán su recompensa si son fieles hasta el final. Por esta razón, Pedro animó a sus hermanos a hacer todo lo posible por ser dignos de su llamado. Les dijo: “Si siguen haciendo estas cosas no fracasarán nunca. De hecho, así se les suministrará ricamente la entrada en el reino eterno de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo” (2 Ped. 1:10, 11). Todos los ungidos deben permanecer fieles a Jehová. Si no, de nada les servirá haber sido invitados (Heb. 3:1; Rev. 2:10). w16.01 3:6, 7 https://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/7/2

I see NO problem.... all is ok ! Maybe this website makes sometimes problems with any 'bla bla'.... I know that also from different things Ignore it !! I was also little angry here by this and that... its of sure the technology !!!! WOW... you have the FRANGIPANI plant at home ? Be happy, yes ! I know the many kind of sorts.... Yes, the red one is also a fav. ! But in my hand I ONLY had this from my photo. The blossoms were growing on many small, but also on few very big trees ! When we had our meals, we always met one of these trees and many blossoms were on the ground.... I always took a blossom bec. the smell caught me daily, hahaha. I miss it alot !! Maybe I buy a bigger Frangipani with blossoms, but with white - yellows ! I don't know how is the smell of the other colors ? The other plant I also have in my flat, one Aloe Vera, the real one ! I got it from a sister in South Switzerland ! Its looking like No. 8 on your picture Now I have another question, a sister told me about your original BLUE AFRIKAANS BYBEL...... Is it true, in Afrikaans Bibles is NOT the name Jehovah inside ?? The sister was also living in S. - Africa ! Sister Arauna wrote : New living translation it says on the front of the bible. I hope it has Jehovah's name in it. I came in the Truth in South Africa when most of the Bibles in the tribal languages had the name of Jehovah in it throughout the bibles. I used to use these African language translations to prove that the name had been taken out of the Afrikaans bible, because the company which translated the tribal languages also distributed the Afrikaans one. .. so sneaky. Later, they also took jehovah's name out of the other 11 national languages of south africa. The name of Jehovah had been removed in the 1933 translation in the Afrikaans. The original translations of Du Toit and Pannevis in the 19th century had the name in the Afrikaans Translation. Maybe you can tell me something to that ? SEE US LATER AGAIN HERE ! WISH YOU A NICE MONDAY, SO LONG

I agree with your opinion and I will find out by Brother Colin too ! Thats all.... I believe you, sister Arauna. - Agape !

You were sealed by means of him with the promised holy spirit, which is a token in advance of our inheritance.—Eph. 1:13, 14. This special operation of holy spirit becomes like a down payment, a guarantee (or, a pledge) of what is to come. An anointed Christian gains an inner conviction because of this token. (2 Cor. 1:21, 22; 5:5) That person is sure of his invitation. But whether he finally receives his reward in heaven or not depends on his proving faithful to his calling. Peter explained it this way: “Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and choosing sure for yourselves, for if you keep on doing these things, you will by no means ever fail. In fact, in this way you will be richly granted entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Pet. 1:10, 11) Each anointed Christian must, therefore, struggle to remain faithful. If he does not, his heavenly calling, or invitation, will be of no value to him.—Heb. 3:1; Rev. 2:10. w16.01 3:6, 7 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/7/2

Thats our Sister Cherrian Johnson... she sent us her nice baptism photo ! Thank you so much Congrats from us all, dear Cherrian ❤ AGAPE ! May JEHOVAH bless you alot.... and may Satan NEVER reaching your heart ! Flee before him so fast as you can >>>>>>>>>

The best weapons..... When God created the world, he rejoiced over all his works. Each being had its destiny, and all his creatures lived happily in their peculiar character. Only the lamb lay sad before the throne of God and could not share the joy of the other creatures. God saw the suffering of the Lamb and asked, "What is the matter with you that you are so sad and oppressed?" "Oh, my God," answered the lamb, sighing, "how can I be merry and happy when I am weak and helpless. Why am I so different among your creatures? Why did not you give me weapons for defense like all other animals? Top horns and sharp claws, powerful trunks and poisonous teeth, fast legs and wide wings have other animals. They all can save themselves by climbing and running, flying and diving, biting and stabbing, catching and robbing. But I am helpless in the great world and exposed to the will of my enemies. " God listened to the complaints of the lamb, and gave him the right to say, "I'll leave you with the choice: do you want claws, nails, sharp teeth, an antler or a trunk, wings, or fins?" "Oh, no, my God, hurt such dangerous weapons, I want to ask you for better weapons, with which I can really overcome evil and the enemy!" - "Your request is righteous, and I will give it to thee, and I will give thee the best weapons, which thou canst overcome and conquer." And God gave the Lamb his BEST gifts, namely meekness, devotion and patience... ❤
