Blood Transfusions/Blood Salvage

by NJ501 in

hi all,i've been doing some research on blood transfusions and fractions.

i found out a patient can donate their own blood, so it can be used for elective surgery...i was wondering if theirs really any difference between a blood transfusion of your own blood and the blood salvage procedure.

i think quite similar since its just a re-transfusion of your own blood.. what are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts? Would it be acceptable by the JW doctrine?

No. It violates JW doctrine.

Finds in Jerusalem shore up biblical account of Babylonian conquest (586 BCE date)

by Hecce in

this is a nice article about archaeological finds, what caught my attention is the use of 586 bce as the date for the destruction of jerusalem.. according to biblical descriptions, in 586 bce, the babylonian king nebuchadnezzar vanquished the judaean king zedekiah and razed his capital city, jerusalem.

the babylonian captain of the guard nebuzaradan was dispatched into the city, where, as told in the book of jeremiah, he “burned the house of the lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.”.

who will get the property of jehovah's witnesses?.

Like I said...good luck with that, Fishy

Again, what are you talking about; good luck with what? What do you mean?

Should WT appeal to ECHR and loose, then it seems they will have exhausted all legal means, and legally they have lost to Russia but should they prevail in ECHR, the Russian government is legally obligated according to the provisions of the Vienna Treaty regardless of whether or not the Russian government chooses to believe it or not at this time.

Albeit anyone can point a gun to someone's head and take their property, but if it is illegal, at some point in time legal consequences are inevitable. But the legal battle is ongoing, wt may still loose in ECHR should they appeal to this Court.

Good luck with that.

Russia is part of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, meaning the new bill signed by Putin does not relieve the Russian government of its legal obligations.

Russian government has a legal obligation to implement rulings of international human rights bodies established by international treaties such as ECHR.

But suppose WT wins in ECHR, what enforcement powers does the Court have?

What consequences for Russia if they defy ECHR judgment ?

Can you prove Jesus existed outside of Bible (so called) evidence?

by punkofnice in

i thought i'd done a thread on this before but can't find it.. so.

did jesus actually exist?.

without using the bible i'd like to see obvious proof..

Fisherman

Punk, I can understand not believing in Jesus, that requires faith. That he truly was a historical person does not require faith.

Here is food for thought. Since our modern calendar is based upon a fictional event, maybe all other events are also fictional.

Thor is not a number. If you already believe that JC is fiction, you cannot be convinced. My references are only something to consider. Did not say it was proof but it is evidence outside the Bible. Also, if you don't like Josephus because he refers to Jesus, what is fictional about his account of the siege of Jerusalem?
