No. The Watchtower has said
''Scripturally, a woman who consents to artificial insemination is in substance committing adultery,
and if her husband consented to the practice, he would also be approving of an adulterous course.
Artificial insemination is out of harmony with God's law'' WT 15 Aug '64
''Artificial insemination of a woman by a donor other than her legal husband, makes her guilty of adultery, a sin against God'' WT 15 Aug '84
Also, sperm, either from the husband or a 3rd party donor, would have to be obtained by masturbation which is not allowed.
It would depend on the occasion. If you are giving as a wedding present, anniversary gift, baby shower gift, graduation, retirement - or just because you want to give a gift... these are acceptable. However, if they in celebration of a holiday that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate - it would be inappropriate for you to give one.
Yes, fertility experts do accept health insuarnce. For a monthly premium, insurance providers will supply you with a health care plan that will cover a range of fertility treatments, including diagnostic fertility tests, artificial insemination, and other types of assisted reproductive technology
They don't. The death of a loved one is always a painful experience, Jehovah's Witnesses, like anyone are totally devestated when a loved on is murdered. Unfortunately they recognise violent crimes as a part of life so they look to God for comfort.
Yes you can give a witnesses a card; whether the witnesses will chose to accept it will depend on several factors. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays (or other celebrations they deem as 'pagan') if this has previously been explained the witness may or may not choose to accept the card if it is for one of these occassions. He or she may accept the card in the spirit it was given, explaining the above or may chose not to accept the card. If the card is for another occassion that the witnesses finds unobjectionable they will likely accept it with thanks.
Yes.
I think that's 2 questions not one question. (You forgot the 'period' after the word 'it'.)Truth be told - - We (Jehovah's Witnesses) do NOT allow nor accept 'unscriptural divorce'. We only allow and accept 'scriptural divorce'.
Yes indeed. We can't think of any Bible principle that might be violated. (My dad worked in a Winery; when he retired he got a watch, and a consignment of cases of wine; and every year till his death, he received an allotment of wine. JW's love wine.)
Yes, they simply refuse blood transfusions - all other procedures they accept
any female species on the planet will accept AI. Its not the vessel, its the package.
Same way he witnesses to anybody else. Difference is a sceptic might not accept what the christian is selling.
Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have no prohibition to accepting state or private help or aid if they duly qualify to receive it.Note: Given the particularities of the elderly, and their special needs, it should be noted that individual Witnesses (or their families) are free to make their own personal decisions in this regard and not all Witness families will decide to accept the provision of a pre-prepared food provision service ("meals on wheels").
If you accept the fact that consciousness is not of a supernatural nature, and that it is a purely physical phenomenon, only our current lack of technology stands in the way of "assembling" a fully working brain out of atoms, and thus create an artificial consciousness.
