No!
In fact, some added benefits for not accepting the blood transfusion techniques.
Please see LINK below; dated July 3, 2012
Not necessarily. It would depend on the circumstances. As one of the links below suggests there can be benefits from surgeons performing cardiac operations and Witnesses have been shown to have a better recovery rate.
However, as another link below suggests, in different circumstances it could mean that Witnesses are at greater risk for not accepting blood.
It must be stressed though, that the 'no blood' policy of Jehovah's Witnesses has nothing at all to do with any perceived risks or benefits of blood transfusions.
The policy is not based on medical reasons. Even if blood was proven to be 100% safe, or 100% fatal and there were no alternatives, Witnesses would still refuse blood.
What else can I help you with?
Why are jehovahs knocking on my door all the time there pushing there religion on me and asking for money?
This behavior is true of many religious groups, not just Jehovah's Witnesses. Generally, these individuals are likely to answer that they perform these actions in order to spread their faith because they believe, with little doubt, that their particular metaphysical and spiritual views are "correct" (or the "most correct"). Others might argue that by increasing membership, religious organizations also increase their income levels, thus achieving greater wealth and influence.
What is the term for Jehovah witnesses missionary activities?
The work of Jehovah's Witness missionary is often refered to as "foreign assignment", "working where the need is greater" or a "missionary assignment"
Does physical evidence have greater value than eyewitness in court?
Evidence and witnesses are only as good as the lawyers questioning them or presenting evidence. Both can be reliable or found unreliable.
Are bases compounds?
Bases are a type of compounds that are capable of accepting protons, resulting in the formation of hydroxide ions in water. They are substances that have a pH greater than 7 and are known for their ability to neutralize acids.
Does undesriable personality trait mean greater tolerance?
Not necessarily. Tolerance refers to being understanding and accepting of others, while an undesirable personality trait may make it harder for someone to be tolerant. However, it is still possible for someone to work on their undesirable traits and develop greater tolerance over time.
Where is the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses in Dubai?
I may not know any of their names are but I am definitely sure there are JWs in that country. Even in countries (like Singapore) where the JWs are banned from performing their Christian duties to "preach the good news of the kingdom" has Jehovah's Witnesses. It is a fulfillment of the prophesy written in Matthew 24:14.
What kind of solution would have a Kb value greater than 1?
A solution with a Kb value greater than 1 indicates that the base is strong. Strong bases ionize completely in solution, leading to a higher concentration of hydroxide ions. This results in a higher Kb value as it reflects the strength of the base in accepting protons.
Do Jehovahs give blood?
Yes for blood tests but not for any transfusion purposes.Watchtower 15th June 1978 page 30 says''Would it be wrong to submit to a blood test?Based on their knowledge of the Scriptures, most of Jehovah's Witnesses, if not all, do not object to such tests. The small quantity of blood removed from the body is not eaten or injected into someone else. It is merely examined or tested before being disposed of.''Jehovah's witness have no objection to giving blood samples for medical analysis.They do not however give blood to be used for medical purposes (rather than simply analysed) in accord with what they see as a divine mandate (Acts 15:28)
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.
How many Jehovah's Witnesses are in South Africa?
According to the worldwide report for 2006, there were a peak of 78,877 active JW's in South Africa. That is a ratio of one out of every 560 persons in South Africa is an active JW. Note: we only count those who are baptised as a JW and actively engaged in the witnessing work as being of that number. Others who are passively associated with JW's, those who may have become inactive in the faith, unbaptised persons who are studying with JW's, or children who are not old enough to have personally accepted the faith, are not counted.
Who is accepting of other races?
Individuals who are accepting of other races often demonstrate open-mindedness, empathy, and a commitment to equality. This acceptance is commonly found in diverse communities where cultural exchange occurs, as well as among those who prioritize social justice and inclusivity. Education and personal experiences can also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures, leading to greater acceptance. Ultimately, acceptance transcends racial boundaries and is rooted in shared humanity.
Which religion doesn't believe in medicine?
One particular religion that does not accept certain forms of medical treatment are Jehovah's Witnesses. In particular, they are widely known for refusing blood transfusions, even in life-saving circumstances. The following analysis of this position is an excerpt that can be found at the Catholic Answerswebsite:http://www.catholic.com/library/Distinctive_Beliefs_of_Jehovahs.asp4. [For Jehovah's Witnesses], "Taking blood into the body through mouth or veins violates God's laws." The Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps best known to other Americans as people who won't allow themselves or their children to have blood transfusions. In fact, they will go so far as to allow a loved one to die rather than accept a transfusion, as they believe transfusions are a gross violation of God's law. They support this notion with these verses: "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood" (Gen. 9:4). "You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood" (Lev. 17:14). "For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity" (Acts 15:28, 29).There are several problems with interpreting these verses to mean that transfusions are forbidden, not the least of which is the fact that the context is referring to animal blood, not human blood. Moreover, there is a great difference between eating blood and receiving a life-giving blood transfusion. Eating blood was wrong because it profaned the life of the animal. But for a person to willingly share his blood intravenously in order to share life with someone does not profane anything. Indeed, even ultra-Orthodox Jews, who strictly observe the Old Testament kosher laws, recognize that blood transfusions are not prohibited by the command not to eat blood.The Witnesses must avoid other problematic passages that deal with God's prohibition of eating blood because these passages include a prohibition against eating fat. Witnesses do not believe eating fat is wrong, and would see no problem at all with someone munching on fried pork rinds (i.e., deep-fried pieces of pig fat) or sitting down to dinner and enjoying a nice fatty cut of prime rib. But their vehement opposition to eating blood, when contrasted with their approval of eating fat, presents a serious problem for them. Why? Because Leviticus, the book they go to in order to substantiate their prohibition of eating (and receiving transfusions of) blood, contains, in the same passages, prohibitions against eating fat.Consider these examples: "It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood" (Lev. 3:17). "The Lord said to Moses, 'Say to the people of Israel, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. The fat of an animal that dies of itself, and the fat of one that is torn by beasts, may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it. For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which an offering by fire is made to the Lord shall be cut off from his people. Moreover you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwellings. Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people'" (Lev 7:22-27).These verses and others like them are difficult for Witnesses to explain, given that they lean heavily on the prohibitions against eating blood. It's totally inconsistent to maintain that God's "perpetual statute" against eating blood must be observed, while his "perpetual statute" (that appears in the very same context) against eating fat can be safely ignored. On this subject, as on many others, the Witnesses are highly selective and must ignore much of the Bible in order to make their beliefs seem "biblical."Also, the Old Testament dietary laws simply don't apply to Christians today (cf. Col. 2:16-17, 22), and the ones given at the Council of Jerusalem passed into disuse as Jewish conversions to Christianity became uncommon toward the end of the first century and the Church became mainly Gentile. They weren't immutable doctrines, but disciplinary rules.*****Christian Scientists do not believe in medical treatment either.
