Dear sister @devarajjh.... You're the first seems to understand my point. You're also right, the Bible doesn't say about our looking. Many JW having more wisdom for all that, other cultures need longer time, all okay. But you said very importend words, we all represent Jehovah God ?   That must be in our mind and heart ! Then Jehovah is of sure happy of HIS folk  AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT COMMENT ;-))
MY BEST WISHES FROM GERMANY, AGAPE !

Queen Esther reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Which pill would you take ??
I went to a Jewish Funeral, many years ago, and the men who passed by the open casket were dropping in hundred dollar bills. I counted ELEVEN of them!
It looked like a mandatory custom, to me ... at least for the men.
I did not have that much cash, so I wrote a check for $1200, and took back $1100 in "change".

If I was a weapons dealer, and had made a fortune selling arms and armament all over the world, and I contributed twenty million dollars to the WTB&TS ... do you think they would righteously return it?

To donate our Worldwide Work is a nice idea, but of sure NOT with such of moneysimilar our "Lotto"  or other 'gambling money'.... Jehovah is more happy about little, but honestly Help / Aid !Â

Queen Esther reacted to John Houston in Clarification of Field service time
You answered you own question, so bright! No matter how many in the family you have reached the max. The family head, father or mother, whatever that situation, the family is a unit, not to broken into separate individual studies. That is why we have Family Worship night! Spiritual routine for the entire family 1,2 4,6,or12 however large. Only an outsider can count time studying with each individual child if that was necessary, but that as we are being shown is the responsibility of the parents not anyone from the outside!

Queen Esther reacted to Queen Esther in BERN HOSPITAL IN SWITZERLAND REFUSES TO MAKE A SURGERY WITHOUT TRANSFUSION ;-(
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. (Bernese newspaper)

Queen Esther reacted to The Librarian in Dilbert's Words of Wisdom
1. I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
2. I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound the make as they go flying by.
3. Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?
4. I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode.
5. Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.
6. There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives.
7. Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
8. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
9. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you need him, chances are you won't be needing him again.
10. I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
11. Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, "Where the hell is the ceiling?!"
12. My Reality Check bounced.
13. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
14. I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.
15. You're slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
16. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, 'cuz, like to them, you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
17. Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
18. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Queen Esther reacted to Jack Ryan in Clarification of Field service time
Yes... please only ask elders in your area so that they can wield their own opinions about these weighty matters.
Oh wait... elders are under strict orders to not offer their opinions....
So.... pray about it and come up with your own scheme?
Wait.... I just got an answer from above .... you are only allowed 3 hours per month per child .... and Jesus says he agrees.
but it must be in lunar minutes.
or was that just my "opinion"?Â

Queen Esther reacted to Vic93562 in Clarification of Field service time
I'd ask my service overseer and follow his direction. The Elders are there to guide us and although they aren't perfect and may get it wrong they are still the appointed shepherds of the congregation. Obedience to Jehovah's arrangement is much more pleasing to Jehovah than how many hours you can count.
I hope this helps.
