If blood must be poured on the ground where are the blood fractions the Jehovah witnesses use derived from?
Patrick1952
It seems unlikely a witness would donate their blood if it may be used for a transfusion (and therefore break God's law). So I assume blood fractions would have to come form blood donated from non-witnesses. Your question would be an interesting one for a Witness to consider when making their decision on whether they would accept blood fractions or not in their medical treatment.

Can Jehovah's witnesses have insulin?
Yes. This question makes me think that the asker may be confusing Jehovah's Witnesses with Christian Scientists, who do not accept any medical care. Jehovah's Witnesses seek out the best health care that they can find that does not involve blood transfusions, which they deem as unscriptural because of God's admonishin to Noah that he may eat meat but should pour the blood out on the ground as it represents the life. They further believe that Acts 15:29, when it speaks of abstaining to blood, re-enforces this law for Christians. Insulin as well as the vast majority of medicines and medical procedures are acceptable to Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah's Witnesses belief on grave site headstone?

What is the stand on remarriage for Jehovah's witness?
Jehovah's Witnesses let the bible answer that question. The bible allows for divorce and remarriage on one ground-sexual relations outside the marriage. (Matthew 19:9) Therefore, if you learn that your mate has been unfaithful, you have the right to terminate the marriage. In the end, the person is the one who will live with the consequences; therefore, they are the one who must decide.-Galatians 6:5.
Do Jehovah's Witnesses sing the national anthem?
No, we believe that the only one to whom worship is to be given, is Jehovah God himself. Therefore, we do not "salute" the flag of any country, as we see it as a form of idol worship. However, we do respect the flag and the government for which it stands. We will not deface the flag, or treat it with contempt in any way. We view protests (including flag burning), as rebellion against God himself, since he allows these governments to stand in their position as authorities, serving the greater good. We stand respectfully when the flag is presented, as the act of standing is not itself the act of worship. We do this in obedience to the scriptures that plainly say that God does not share his worship with images representing anything in the sky, on the ground, or in the sea. (See Exodus 20:4) That prohibition was repeated again upon Christians as well. (1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:21) Jehovah's Witnesses do not pledge their allegiance to the flag of any country nor sing the National Anthem. Jehovah's Witnesses also do not join the armed forces or go to war.
If a Jehovah witness is no vegetarier how can he abstain from blood because of the large quantities of rest blood in the meat?
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that consuming blood in any form, even through meat, is prohibited by the Bible. To avoid ingesting blood, Jehovah's Witnesses follow specific methods of meat preparation, such as properly draining the blood from it and avoiding certain organ meats where blood is more concentrated. This allows them to abstain from consuming blood while still including meat in their diet.

What happens to non Jehovah's Witnesses after Paradise Earth and the 144000 go to Heaven?
Note: As any local Witness in your area will tell you (and always trust a person over a netnic), a person's salvation is between themselves and Jehovah, and those of other faiths, who may not have heard the truth, are perfectly able to be saved. Resurrection is for "the righteous and unrighteous" and all will have opportunity to be a Witness to Jehovah's justness, come Judgment Day.But like ALL other faiths, Witnesses have wrote many things that would indicate that salvation is through their beliefs alone. Below are some of those writings, listed out in a fashion to give the impression that they believe all that are not in the Kingdom Hall are excluded, when that is not the case.The journal The Watchtower 1st Sept 1989 page 19 paragraph 7 provides this answer,''Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the 'great crowd', as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil''.Currently 99.99% of the world's population are not Jehovah's Witnesses and therefore have no hope of surviving and being saved.Currently only the 0.01% (Jehovah's Witnesses) have any hope of being saved.There are approximately seven million regularly preaching Jehovah's Witnesses and approximately six billion seven hundred million non-Witnesses.That is why Witnesses call on people to spread the good news and to try and save as many as possible by giving them the chance to come into the truth and become Jehovah's Witness.With regard to this life saving preaching work that Witnesses carry out, the Watchtower 15th Feb 2001 says ''Annihilation awaits all who will not listen and thereby set themselves against rule by God's Kingdom.''Also, the Witness's book 'Live Forever' chapter 30 page 255 says ''..there will be only one organization-God's visible organization-that will survive the fast approaching 'great tribulation...............You must be part of Jehovah's organization, doing God's will, in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life.''Watchtower 1st June 1952 says ''What this means to us today is that those now living in this time of judgment and who fail for one reason or another to take a stand for Jehovah, and are therefore slain by him at the battle of Armageddon,will not be retained in his memory for a resurrection. That this group will include the majority of humans now living on earth is shown by Jeremiah 25:33.....''As regards the physical remains of all those destroyed by Jehovah, The Watchtower 1st October 1953 page 606 says their ''carcasses will lie strewn upon the ground like fertilizer, unlamented, unburied, abhorred by the New World society, who survive. Let the birds and the beasts pick the skeletons of these white and clean.''

How old is Jehovah's Witnesses?
Only 130 years or so. The Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, the first name of the Jehovahs Witnesses, was incorporated in 1884. The term Jehovahs Witness was not adopted by the movement until 1931.Jehovah's Witnesses believe that according to the Bible, the line of witnesses of Jehovah reaches back to faithful Abel. In Hebrews chapter 11, verse 4 through chapter 12, verse 1 we find a list of ancient witnesses of Jehovah recorded, "By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than Cain . . . By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear . . . By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed in going out into a place he was destined to receive as an inheritance . . . By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh, choosing to be ill-treated with the people of God rather than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin . . . So, then, because we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."The Bible makes referrence to Jesus Christ as "thefaithful and truewitness." Who was he a witness of? He himself said that he made his Father's name manifest. The Bible identifies his Father as Jehovah. (Psalms 83:18) He was the foremost witness of Jehovah.-Rev. 3:14; John 17:6.The modern-day history of Jehovah's Witnesses began with the forming of a group for Bible study in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., in the early 1870's. At first they were known only as Bible Students, but in 1931 they adopted the name Jehovah's Witnesses, taken directly from the Bible. (Isa. 43:10-12)Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their teachings and practices are a restoration of first-century Christianity started by Jesus Christ.Jehovah's Witnesses believe that a 'faithful and discrete' slave, which in reality is controlled by a governing body, was given divine control over the spiritual lives of all people in 1919. Most of their current beliefs stem from that time, with the exception of few that were dropped when they did not come true, such as the resurrection of Abraham and the faithful men of old in 1926 or the failure of Armageddon to arrive in 1975.Only 130 years or so. The Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society, the first name of the Jehovahs Witnesses, was incorporated in 1884. The term Jehovahs Witness was not adopted by the movement until 1931.
Why does God say that Israel was destroyed?
The Bible makes it plain that Israel was God's chosen people as long as they continued obedient to him they will continue in that favored position. Israel had to obey Jehovah God exclusively, if not Jehovah will allow their enemies to conquer them. They had the choice, as we all do created with free will. Remember Israel was in a covenant with Jehovah God, before they entered the promised land, we can read the reminders Jehovah gave them in Deuteronomy 30:17 says "But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, and you are actually seduced and bow down to other gods and serve them, 18. I do tell you today that you will positively perish, you will not lengthen your days on the ground to which you are crossing the Jordan to go to take possession of it. 19. I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today, that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction, and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, 20. by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice... Israel will be destroyed only if they disobeyed JEHOVAH GOD.
