MENDOZA (DyN) - A premature baby received a blood transfusion on the orders of Mendoza Justice, since his parents profess the religion of the Jehovah's Witnesses, which prohibits such medical practices. The baby who was born with 30 weeks of gestation and weighs 1,200 kilograms had to undergo a blood transfusion due to his critical state of health, as determined last Friday by doctors at Humberto Notti Hospital, in the city of Mendoza. The parents of the child are Jehovah's Witnesses, a Religion jthat rejects the practice for what the doctors went to Family Justice, the Los Andes newspaper reported. The head of the Intensive Care Service of Notti, Adriana Bobillo, explained that the child was anemic and suffered from enteritis so he did not receive oxygenation in the intestine, which endangered his life. Before this intervened the Fourth Family Court of Mendoza that issued an order to enable doctors to carry out medical practice. After the transfusion the child remarkably improved his health status and no longer needs a respirator, although he is still at risk of life due to low weight. For its part, the director of Maternity and Childhood of the Province, Monica Rinaldi, explained that it is usual the procedure adopted by doctors to go to court when the child's life began to be in danger and they knew that the parents are of that religion . Although, the official said, judicial intervention is avoided as much as possible, she assured that when a judge intervenes and gives the order, many parents feel relieved and released from a decision that contradicts their religious convictions, but that in case of not taking out puts your child's life at risk.

WORLD PRESS COMMENTS ON JEHOVAHS WITNESSES REFUSAL TO TAKE NO BLOOD ~ Opponents object: Jehovah's Witnesses always use the following illustration in terms of containing blood: For example, what about someone who was strongly advised by the doctor to abstain from alcohol? Would he follow the advice if he stopped drinking alcohol but injected it directly into his veins? The comparison may sound logical at first glance, but this is delayed. Alcohol is present in a form that is metabolizable to body cells. Therefore, if someone received intravenous alcohol, the body would treat it as if it had been administered orally. Blood, however, does not serve as a food when administered intravenously, but functions as an organ transplant. Red blood cells, for example, begin immediately with the transport of oxygen. Also, would a doctor seriously discourage treatment that could save your life? WE RESPOND: The illustration used by Jehovah's Witnesses serves to make honest minds understand, that it is the same to eat as to inject oneself. We use alcohol in an illustrative way. Nor have we ever said that injecting blood is a way of feeding. What can not be discussed, is that if a doctor forbids the use of any substance, no one in their right mind would inject that substance. What you do not deny, is that the blood to be transfused begins immediately to act as what is WHOLE BLOOD. GENESIS 9: 4, is a biblical principle: flesh with its blood, should not eat. (evidently transfusions had not been invented, nor do guns justify killing because they did not exist when murder was prohibited) LEVITICUS 17:14, incorporates the principle to the Jewish Law, making it clear that "You must not eat the blood of any kind of flesh, because the soul of every kind of flesh is its blood". It should be noted that the text says that all kinds of flesh have blood, a statement that EMPHASIZES that it is only WHOLE BLOOD that is prohibited, since not all animals have blood. ACTS 15:20 solidly affirms the prohibition for the Christian world, prohibiting any use of blood by using the verb ABSTAIN! Google translated https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101989215

Idea for Family Worship! ???? For family worship last night my husband, my two children, my dad, and myself made oil lamps like they used in Bible times. We made them from clay and baked them. Then we put a wick and filled them with olive oil, then lit them. They burned so bright! It was so much fun!” ???? Thank you

PREACHING IN DENMARK...???? When it gets dark, it's nice to have some lights. This is how the brothers and sisters at "Amagerbrogade" in Copenhagen present their literature.

DID YOU KNOW? The videos that appear on JW ?Broadcasting are recorded 3 months in advance of their broadcast. This is done to ensure that they can be translated effectively into different languages so that all can benefit. One way we can show our appreciation for the work the brothers are doing is to make sure we watch each month's Broadcast.

Does God Really Care About Me? Learn How He Comforts Us~ ????? God is described in the Bible as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) ????? God, whose name is Jehovah, knows we need comfort. The Bible uses “comfort” in various forms over a hundred times, assuring us that God not only understands what we face but also desires to comfort us. ????? This knowledge convinces us that even when others do not seem to notice, understand, or care about our plight, Jehovah God does. ????? The fact that Jehovah cares for people as individuals is clearly seen from the Scriptures. “The eyes of Jehovah are in every place,” says the Bible, “keeping watch upon the bad ones and the good ones.” (Proverbs 15:3) ????? Similarly, at Job 34:21, we read: “His eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps he sees.” Jehovah sees what we do—good or bad—and he is aware of our circumstances, so that he can respond in ways he sees fit. ????? This is confirmed in the words of Hanani the seer, or prophet, to King Asa of Judah: “As regards Jehovah, his eyes are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.”—2 Chronicles 16:7, 9. ????? Jehovah keeps watch over us for another reason. Jesus explains: “No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him.” (John 6:44) Jehovah cares enough to search a personÂ’s heart to see if it is inclined toward him. If it is, he can respond in ways truly amazing. ????? Many people today believe that God takes no interest in human affairs. But as we have seen, the Bible clearly shows that God very much cares for those who demonstrate true faith in him. ????? Even though life today is often filled with distress, worries, disappointments, and hurt, we need not despair. Jehovah God does care. In fact, he lovingly invites us to turn to him for support. “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you,” says the psalmist. “Never will he allow the righteous one to totter.”—Psalm 55:22. - Bible Speaks ????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200271306

Middle East Iran-Iraq earthquake: Hundreds killed as border region hit A 7.3-magnitude earthquake has shaken the northern border region between Iran and Iraq, killing at least 396 people and injuring thousands more. More than 7,000 people are also said to have been injured in the quake, the world's deadliest this year. Most of those who died were in Iran's western Kermanshah province, where a search for survivors has started. Nine more people died in Iraq, where residents fled from their homes into the streets in the capital, Baghdad. "I was sitting with my kids having dinner and suddenly the building was just dancing in the air," a Baghdad resident, Majida Ameer, told Reuters news agency. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41963373Â

ARE YOU SALTED? ?????? "Let your utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt." Ö (Col. 4:6) ?????? Salt is often used in the Bible figuratively. Jesus told his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth,” a preserving influence on others, preventing spiritual putrefaction and moral decay. The good news they carried would preserve life. However, he went on to say to them: “But if the salt loses its strength, how will its saltness be restored? It is no longer usable for anything but to be thrown outside to be trampled on by men.” (Mt 5:13; Mr 9:50; Lu 14:34, 35) One Bible commentator remarks on Matthew 5:13: “The salt used in this country [United States] is a chemical compound—muriate of soda—and if the saltness were lost, or it were to lose its savour, there would be nothing remaining. It enters into the very nature of the substance. In eastern countries, however, the salt used was impure, mingled with vegetable and earthy substances; so that it might lose the whole of its saltness, and a considerable quantity of earthy matter remain. This was good for nothing, except that it was used, as it is said, to place in paths, or walks, as we use gravel. This kind of salt is common still in that country. It is found in the earth in veins or layers, and when exposed to the sun and rain, loses its saltness entirely.”—BarnesÂ’ Notes on the New Testament, 1974. ?????? Because salt prevented decay, it became a symbol of stability and permanence. Often when covenants were made, the parties ate together—eating salt together—denoting perpetual loyalty and fidelity to one another in the covenant relationship. “A covenant of salt” therefore was considered very binding. (Nu 18:19) Accordingly, Judean King AbijahÂ’s statement that Jehovah had made “a covenant of salt” with David and his sons meant that the covenant with DavidÂ’s line for the kingship would stand forever. Jesus Christ the “son of David” and “the root of David” proves to be the one holding the Kingdom and administering its affairs forever.—2Ch 13:4, 5; Ps 18:50; Mt 1:1; Re 5:5; Isa 9:6, 7. ?????? Jesus said: “For everyone must be salted with fire.” The context here points to a salting with the fire of Gehenna in the case of all who stumble into a life of sin or who are responsible for so stumbling others.—Mr 9:42-49. ?????? Using the term to convey a different sense, Jesus thereafter said: “Have salt in yourselves, and keep peace between one another.” (Mr 9:50) The apostle Paul used it in a similar way, saying: “Let your utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one.” (Col 4:6) OneÂ’s conduct and speech should always be in good taste, considerate, wholesome, and tend toward preserving the lives of others. ?????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003809

Mark 8:36 36 Really, what good will it do a man to gain the whole world and to lose his life?” ?????????????????????????? Is Your Recreation Beneficial? “Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord.”—EPH. 5:10. ?????????????????????????? THROUGHOUT the Bible, we find statements indicating that Jehovah wants us not only to live but also to enjoy life. ?????????????????????????? Those who have a balanced view of recreation allow for diversity yet also recognize the need for limitations. Why so? To answer, let us compare entertainment with food. Popular dishes differ from one part of the world to another. In fact, what people in one area relish may be unappetizing to people elsewhere. In a similar manner, what Christians in one part of the world view as pleasant recreation may not be appealing to Christians elsewhere. Even among Christians living in the same area, what one may view as relaxing (perhaps curling up with a good book), another may view as boring; what one may view as refreshing (perhaps sightseeing on a bicycle), another may view as exhausting. Still, we accept that in such matters as food and recreation, there is room for diversity and personal preference.—Rom. 14:2-4. ?????????????????????????? A question to ask yourself is, Who?—that is, ‘Who are the ones I want to share my leisure activities with?’ It is important to consider this aspect of recreation. Why? Because the quality of our recreation is greatly influenced by the quality of our companions. Just as eating a meal is usually more pleasurable when you do so in the company of good friends, engaging in recreation is often more enjoyable when you do so with good companions. Thus, it is understandable that many among us, especially young ones, enjoy recreation that is shared with others. However, to make sure that an activity will be beneficial, it is wise to determine in advance what sort of individuals to choose as companions and what sort to avoid.—2 Chron. 19:2; read Proverbs 13:20; Jas. 4:4. ?????????????????????????? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011763?q=mark+8%3A36&p=par

How Rude! What Do I Do Now? ???? Christians do their best to apply the Bible’s counsel to speak always in a kind and polite way. (Colossians 4:6) But we are imperfect. Maybe we are having a bad day and we say something that we later regret. (James 3:2) ???? When that happens, we hope the other person will understand that we are not usually like that. We would not want him to describe us as a rude person. Remembering this helps us to understand that people who are rude to us may also later regret what they say to us. ???? If someone you meet seems to be angry or is rude to you, can you try to understand why he is acting like that? ???? If someone you meet seems to be angry or is rude to you, can you try to understand why he is acting like that? Could it be that he is under pressure at work or at school? Does he have a serious health problem? Many people who were upset when the Witnesses first met them have responded well when treated with mildness and respect.—Proverbs 15:1; 1 Peter 3:15. ???? The Golden Rule: Jesus’ words at Matthew 7:12. In this scripture, he taught us to treat people in the same way we ourselves would like to be treated. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402014364?q=rude&p=par

Rejoice for there is Peace those Close to Jehovah! ????? Climb High We are Almost there! Nothing can take Away our Security! “In peace you will be brought back. The mountains and the hills will become cheerful before you with a joyful cry, And the trees of the field will all clap their hands. Instead of thorn bushes the juniper tree will grow, And instead of the stinging nettle the myrtle tree will grow, An everlasting sign that will never perish.” it will bring fame to Jehovah.”– (Is. 55:12,13) ????? Jehovah commissioned his prophet Isaiah to foretell this ominous period, but He also instructed him to proclaim good news. After 70 years of exile, the Jews would be liberated from Babylon! A joyful remnant would return to Zion and have the privilege of restoring true worship there. With this happy message, Jehovah through his prophet caused light to shine in the darkness. ????? A human might be able to predict the near future based on his understanding of the political or social climate of the day. But only Jehovah can foresee with absolute certainty what will happen at any point in time, even in the distant future. He can also empower his servants to foretell events long before they occur. The Bible states: “The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.”—Amos 3:7. - ????? Bible Speaks

H. O. P. E. - How will Pain End Forever? You Mean Christ Felt Pain? ???? “He was despised and was avoided by men, A man who was meant for pains and was familiar with sickness. It was as if his face were hidden from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no account. Truly he himself carried our sicknesses, And he bore our pains.” (Isa 53:3,4) PAIN ???? A sensation of physical discomfort, whether moderate or severe; also acute mental or emotional distress. ???? The physical sensation of pain serves a beneficial purpose by alerting a person to danger regarding bodily damage and thereby enables him to take steps to avoid serious injury. The fulfillment of GodÂ’s promise that “neither will . . . pain be anymore” (Re 21:4) ???? That could not mean that humans would become insensitive to or incapable of experiencing pain. Rather, mental, emotional, and physical pain that has resulted from sin and imperfection (Ro 8:21, 22) will ‘be no moreÂ’ in the sense that its causes (such as disease and death) will be removed. ???? That bodily perfection does not of itself require absolute painlessness is verified by the fact that even the perfect man Jesus experienced physical and emotional pain in connection with his death and the unresponsiveness of those to whom he ministered. (Mt 26:37; Lu 19:41) It was even foretold that he would be “a man meant for pains.” (Isa 53:3) By curing those “distressed with various diseases and torments” (Mt 4:24), Jesus bore the pains of others.—Isa 53:4 “He was despised and was avoided by men, A man who was meant for pains and was familiar with sickness. It was as if his face were hidden from us. He was despised, and we held him as of no account. Truly he himself carried our sicknesses, And he bore our pains.” (Isa 53: 3,4) - Bible Speaks ????

National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. Purple triangle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The purple triangle was a concentration camp badge used by the Nazis to identify Bibelforscher (the German name for Jehovah's Witnesses and other Bible Students groups) in Nazi Germany. A small number of Adventists, Baptists and pacifists (less than one percent) were also identified by the badge.[1] Nazism opposed unorthodox-Christian religious minorities (along with Jews), but made the Bible Students the object of particularly intense persecution, including such extensive incarceration that a distinct badge was assigned to them.[2][3] Identification in Nazi camps Nazi concentration camp badges Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi Germany ??? Religion in Nazi Germany References [edit] ^ Johannes S. Wrobel, Jehovah’s Witnesses in National Socialist Concentration Camps, 1933 – 45, Religion, State & Society, Vol. 34, No. 2, June 2006, pp. 89-125 "The concentration camp prisoner category ‘Bible Student’ at times apparently included a few members from small Bible Student splinter groups, as well as adherents of other religious groups which played only a secondary role during the time of the National Socialist regime, such as Adventists, Baptists and the New Apostolic community (Garbe 1999, pp. 82, 406; Zeiger, 2001, p. 72). Since their numbers in the camps were quite small compared with the total number of Jehovah’s Witness prisoners, I shall not consider them separately in this article. Historian Antje Zeiger (2001, p. 88) writes about Sachsenhausen camp: ‘In May 1938, every tenth prisoner was a Jehovah’s Witness.
