    How Can Blood Save Your Life?
    Each day people face ethical decisions about health: organ transplants, abortion, the "right to die." Hopefully, you will never face those problems.
    Yet, there is one issue that demands your attention: How can blood be used to save life?
    With good reason, many now ask, 'How safe are blood transfusions?' But this is more than a medical issue. It has made news involving Jehovah's Witnesses. Have you wondered why these ethical people, who believe in good medicine, refuse to accept blood?
    As you will see, the medical and moral aspects of using blood bear directly on how you can save your most valued possession: LIFE.

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in ?"Let your brotherly love continue."?   
    13 "Let your brotherly love continue."
    What is brotherly love? The original Greek word Paul used literally means “affection for a brother.” Brotherly love is a strong, warm feeling between family members or close friends. (John 11:36) 
    We do not pretend to be brothers and sisters. We are brothers and sisters. (Matthew 23:8) Paul says: “In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor to one another, take the lead.” (Romans 12:10) 
    Those words show how strong our affection is for our brothers. This brotherly love, along with love based on Christian principles, helps God’s people to be close friends with one another and to be united.
    The most important reason to show brotherly love is that Jehovah tells us to do so. We cannot really love Jehovah if we refuse to love our brothers. (1 John 4:7, 20, 21)

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Speak Truth To One Another! - We Were Freely Forgiven   
    “Now that you have put away falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor.”—EPH. 4:25.
    Normally it is with our family that we have the closest bond. To strengthen this bond, it is vital that we speak truthwith one another. 
    Many problems and misunderstandings can be reduced or eliminated by being open, honest, and kind in our communication. 
    For example, when we make a mistake, do we hesitate to acknowledge it to our mate, to our children, or to other close family members? 
    Offering a sincere apology from the heart helps to promote peace and unity within the family.—Read 1 Peter 3:8-10.
    Speaking truth does not mean that we should be blunt, tactless. Being rude does not increase the value of the truthor its impact. Paul said: “Let all malicious bitterness and anger and wrath and screaming and abusive speech be taken away from you along with all badness. But become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave you.” (Eph. 4:31, 32) 
    When we speak in a kind and dignified manner, it elevates our message and shows honor to those to whom we speak.—Matt. 23:12.

     9 You mountains and all you hills,

    10 You wild animals and all you domestic animals,
    You creeping things and winged birds." (Psalms 148:7-10) NWT jw.org

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Katherine Jackson Receives Temporary Restraining Order against Nephew   
    Christ is head of the Congregations, even now things are being changed and removed. Maybe the apostasy will be starting soon or maybe already has? Listen to instructions perhaps you will be saved!
     3 Seek Jehovah,  all you meek ones of the earth,
    Who observe his righteous decrees.
    Seek righteousness, seek meekness.
    Probably  you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger."
    (Zephaniah 2:3) NWT   
     
    Notice the Word "probably?" Let us see how things will change perhaps we will know closer to the end? Never give up on Jehovah, his Son will rule with justice and the wicked will be gone forever!
    Psalms 37 the whole chapter I love. I also understand injustice and abuse. Jehovah protects me day and night! Never let go!
    Remember, Christ died for you and I. That is true love. ?

    God’s foremost judicial officer, Jesus Christ, is “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah.” (Re 5:5) Appropriately, therefore, the lion, as a symbol of courageous justice, is associated with Jehovah’s presence and throne.—Eze 1:10; 10:14; Re 4:7.

    Bible Speaks reacted to Queen Esther in Does God Have a Name? "I am Jehovah. That is my name" ~Isaiah 42:8 - Bible & video will tell you....   
    "I am Jehovah. That is my name" ~Isaiah 42:8

    Does God Have a Name ?
    The Bible’s answers.....
    Humans all have personal names. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for God to have a name? Having and using personal names is a vital part of human friendships. Should it be different when it comes to our friendship with God?
    In the Bible, God says: “"I am Jehovah. That is my name."” (Isaiah 42:8) Although he also has many titles, such as “"God Almighty,"” “"Sovereign Lord,"” and “"Creator,"” he honors his worshippers by inviting them to address him by his personal name.—Genesis 17:1; Acts 4:24; 1 Peter 4:19.
    Many translations of the Bible contain God’s personal name at Exodus 6:3. That passage says: “"I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them."”
    Jehovah is a rendering of God’s name in English that has been used for centuries. While many scholars prefer the spelling “Yahweh,” Jehovah is the form of the name that is most widely recognized. The first part of the Bible was written not in English but in Hebrew, a language that is read from right to left. In that language, the divine name appears as four consonants, יהוה.  Those four Hebrew characters—transliterated YHWH—are known as the Tetragrammaton.

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Your People Will Offer Themselves Willingly Like Dewdrops ?   
    "Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force. In splendid holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have your company of young men just like dewdrops."
    (Psalms 110:3)
    Jehovah also exerts power through his authority as Universal Sovereign.
    Can you imagine having millions upon millions of intelligent, able subjects eager to do your bidding?
    Jehovah wields such ruling power. He has human servants, in Scripture often likened to an army, just like dewdrops. Are you part of that army?

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Fathers Set a Good Example! ?   
    Fathers Set the Good Example! - You will be Happy to Train them when they are young!- Before they decide on their own! - You may preserve their Life! 
    (Proverbs 22:6) 6 Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it."
    Does Proverbs 22:6 guarantee that if Christian children are properly trained, they will not depart from the way of Jehovah?
    This verse reads: “Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it.” Just as the bending of a twig influences its growth into a tree, children who are properly trained are more inclined to continue to serve Jehovah when they grow up. 
    As every parent knows, such training takes considerable time and effort. To make Christian disciples of their children, parents must carefully instruct, admonish, encourage, and discipline them as well as set a good example. They must do this consistently and lovingly for many years.
    Does this mean, though, that if a child does turn away from serving Jehovah, parental training is at fault? In some cases, parents may have been deficient in their efforts to bring their children up in the discipline and mental-regulating of Jehovah. (Ephesians 6:4) 
    On the other hand, the proverb is not a guarantee that good training will produce children who are faithful to God. Parents cannot mold their children into whatever they wish. Children, like adults, have free will and must ultimately choose their own course in life. (Deuteronomy 30:15, 16, 19) 
    Despite the most earnest efforts of parents, some children become unfaithful, as did Solomon, who wrote the verse we are considering. Even Jehovah had sons who proved unfaithful.
    Thus, this scripture does not mean that in every case a child “will not turn aside from it” but that generally speaking this would be the result. What an encouragement this is to parents! Parents should take heart from knowing that their earnest efforts to train their children in the way of Jehovah will produce good results. Since their role is important and their influence is great, parents are encouraged to take their role seriously.—
    (Deuteronomy 6:6-7) 6 And these words that I am commanding you today must prove to be on your heart; 7 and you must inculcate them in your son and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. . ."
    Even when children turn aside from serving Jehovah, parents who have been conscientious in training their children can entertain the hope that their children will come to their senses. Bible truth is powerful, and parental training is not quickly forgotten.
    (Psalm 19:7) . . .The law of Jehovah is perfect, bringing back the soul. The reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy, making the inexperienced one wise."

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Wise in Heart”—Yet Humble!   
    Wise in Heart”—Yet Humble!
    Jehovah’s humility is manifest in yet another beautiful quality—reasonableness. 
    This quality is sadly lacking among imperfect humans. Not only is Jehovah willing to listen to his intelligent creatures but he is also willing to yield when there is no conflict with righteous principles. 
    As used in the Bible, the word “reasonable” literally means “yielding.” This quality too is a hallmark of divine wisdom. In what sense is the all-wise Jehovah reasonable? For one thing, he is adaptable.
    Remember, his very name teaches us that Jehovah causes himself to become whatever is needed in order to fulfill his purposes. (Exodus 3:14) Does that not indicate a spirit of adaptability and reasonableness?
    Humans can only try to imitate such perfect adaptability. All too often, though, humans and their organizations are more rigid than adaptable, more unreasonable than yielding.
    To illustrate: A supertanker or a freight train might be awesome in terms of size and power. But can either one respond to sudden changes in circumstance? If an obstacle falls across the tracks in front of a freight train, turning is out of the question. Sudden stops are not much easier. A heavy freight train may take over a mile to stop after the brakes are applied! 
    Similarly, a supertanker may coast onward for five miles [8 km] after the engines are shut off. Even if the engines are thrown into reverse, the tanker may still plow on for two miles [3 km]! It is similar with human organizations that are prone to rigidity and unreasonableness. 
    Because of pride, men often refuse to adapt to changing needs and circumstances. Such rigidity has bankrupted corporations and even toppled governments.
    (Proverbs 16:18) "Pride is before a crash, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.'
