"Basics of Blood Management" by Dr. Petra Seeber and Dr. Aryeh Shander - Inaccuracies and Myth

by OrphanCrow in

patient blood management arose out of bloodless medicine and alternatives to blood transfusions.

pbm has been accepted as the standard of care in australia and has been implemented into the health care systems of other countries such as canada.

a prominent promoter of pbm has been aryeh shander from englewood hospital in new jersey.

....here information that what I hope fits to the overall image, it originates from a polish article "Surgery in J.W. our experiences" and after a long extensive discussion (read & click on the link) concludes that

"We found that abdominal surgeries in our small group of Jehovah's Witnesses patients were safe. However, two of our female patients agreed to blood transfusion in a “life or death” situation after serious discussion with them. The first woman was a middle-aged mother and the second older female patient underwent major abdominal surgery and developed postoperative complications.

In the section "Discussion" following is stated about the mentioned reports:

In 1977, Ott and Cooley reported on 542 cardiovascular operations ...
= report: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/302345 (link added by me)
performed on Jehovah's Witnesses without blood transfusion and concluded that this procedure could be done “with acceptably low risk”. He (who?) also did a statistical review of 1,026 operations (REVIEW not REPORT is this relevant?) and determined that the risk of surgery in patients of the Jehovah's Witness group was not substantially higher than for others [6, 13]. Similarly, DeBakey communicated that in the vast majority of situations involving Witnesses, the risk of operation without the use of blood transfusions was no greater than in those patients on whom he used blood transfusions [6]. Jassar et al. developed a comprehensive multimodality programme for Jehovah's Witness patients and obtained excellent results in cardiac surgery. Based on their 10-year experience, they reported that bloodless cardiac surgery in Jehovah's Witness patients could be performed with excellent outcomes in both elective and urgent situations. Major complication rates were not significantly different between the elective group and the urgent group [14]. Similarly, Vaislic et al. reported their 21-year experience in cardiac surgery based on 500 Jehovah's Witness patients and concluded that cardiac surgery without transfusion in high-risk Jehovah's Witnesses patients could be carried out with results equivalent to those of low-risk patients thanks to recent advances in surgical techniques and blood conservation protocols [15].

DOOM and LUXURY : the Watchtower Elite prepares for the GREAT TRIBULATION

If we handle it as business investment, the investment was better than leaving money on the account. We see it is bearing interest. If you find 100 welsh speaking witnesses who donate=pay back e.g. $12 per month each you get in a year $14440, this equals a return of over 1 % for the investment of $1,400.000. Paybackperiod = 96 years.

First emotional reports - its so nice - of palpable blessings resulting from the latest native translation efforts in those mothertongues. Welsh is in welsh called Cymraeg --- some material available. BTW how is welsh a dead language if there are 750.000 speakers?

For so many speakers the MAGNITUDE of this property is not to large. For 750.000 speakers they made a $1.425.000 investment equals 1,9 $ for 1 native speaker.

I am interested in welsh because welsh is a link to the our celtic ancestors in Europe, to the old customs and relgion and especially in Druid-knowlege. Besides I like gaelic because of Asterix and Obelix and my ancestors were partially celts.

Any effort that helps survive this language and culture - Its so nice - shoud be supported by public funds in Great Britain. Language is a fundamental cultural value - its so nice - and J.W. preserve old languages for the coming generations after Brexit. So why not reward them for even better Great Tribulation videos - it so nice ?

https://www.jw.org/cy/ cy stands for cymraeg [ kəmˈrɑːɨɡ ]

The following testimony is so nice, i could have cried:

An elderly woman expressed her delight after receiving a Bible-based brochure in Welsh, saying: “To be honest, if you’d offered me that in English, I probably wouldn’t have accepted it, but it’s so nice to have it in my own language. ”In ptember 2012, we launched the redesigned jw.org website in many languages, including Irish and Welsh, with Scottish Gaelic becoming available in August 2014. We also print a variety of Bible literature in these languages. What has been the response to this effort?

Blood, the US Army, the US Navy and the Watchtower Society

by OrphanCrow in

the watchtower society blood doctrine is intricately linked to clinical trials in blood technology.

the wts deliberately changes and manipulates the blood doctrine in order to fill the requirements for medical testing in the field of blood technology.

it has been happening since the start of the blood ban and has continued for the last 70 years, leaving untold numbers of dead and maimed jws in the wake of the societys quest for everlasting life here on earth.. .

So Englewood received a sum to train military. Does this perhaps mean that the military surgeons were allowed to watch and to take part in J.W. patients surgery - especially in lifethreatening situations - as well? I simple ask because if I would be a J.W. I didnt want that an army surgeon would operate me. If such things happend, did the patients got a chance to save their life after support through a competent member of HLC by e.g. an alternative method, which could have saved life, so that the patient - maybe a children - could have been saved at Englewood instead of being exsanguinated?

Or let us hope that it was otherwise: That the Englewood surgeon operate together with army surgeons on NAVY and ARMY patients to learn for surgery for J.W. patients.

Most likely it was so that the Englewood team only trained theoretically - held talks in front of a board - about how to do it - and that there was no actual surgery and no patients of J.W. involved physically and only theoretically the patients data were discussed (what I wouldnt like either).

So the question remains to a certain extent: Were J.W. excepted from those trainings with the army, were they informed that such a cooperation existed, could they undersigned a form in which they could decide if personal data were given to army surgeons ?

Let us assume that for J.W.s such guidelines for the patients existed or will be made quickly e.g. whom the patient would allow to operate on it, I hope it because usually without money you dont get your private surgeon, the team will decide.

Many witnesses and others look at Englewood as "proof" that modern medicine doesnt need blood transfusions- and that blood transfusion is a product of a unsophisticated past.

If I Became a JW, Could I Have My Cat on Paradise Earth?

Moses grew up at the Pharaos palace and liked playing with cats as much as already Joseph did. Why

Egyptians' admiration for cats infiltrated all aspects of life. Ordinary citizens and esteemed professionals alike noted the importance of cats in Egyptian culture. The ancient Egyptian society relied heavily on agricultural activities. Egyptians harvested plants and crops to sustain the lives of family members and community members. They relied on surplus crops to sell at markets for economic revenue as well. Without cats, which consumed destructive pests, Egyptians faced constant threats of crop loss from attacks by rodents and insects. Egyptians, in response for cats' protection, offered wild and domesticated felines food and shelter. Even wild cats eventually lived closer to human settlements, knowing food and safety abounded.
As with modern humans, Egyptians kept cats as pets. They considered cats loyal companions, much like dogs. Egyptians took trained cats wherever they went, including on hunting expeditions. Egyptians considered cats loyal and intelligent creatures, and believed seeing cats in dreams a sign of good harvest for the coming year.

From the biblical standpoint cats were not a big help for Adam in the beginning after he gave his cat the name "kitten". "But for Adam there was not found a suitable helper for him" (under them) Genesis 2:20. Much has changed since the paradise.

1. Physically and spiritually cats have become indeed real " helpers" today. Not only at home the domestic cats as friends and comforters but also in zoos as attraction they have become "helpers of Adam". They are supporting many men with jobs in pet shops and animal food production and zoos and serve as willing sacrifices in safaris.

Therefore we should be thankfully take us time for cuddling them as much as possible and take care of dieing out "siberian tigers" as well.

Many have not yet considered the role those "helpers" play for our spiritual wellness and that we should reserve time for them! Dont they give us a feeling of a "cosy home" after all?

2. In paradise for a perfect man a cat was not seen as real help. Man thought that he was perfect and cats not. But think about one fact: Animals have never been expelled from the garden eden, okay the sss :snake: snake was cursed (note: she was not guilty but misused by Satan), but only men have been explicitely expelled from Eden by Jehovah! So spiritually for God animals have always lived and remained in the paradise. They need not get into it once again, because they've never been expelled from paradise.

Even today they are living in the perfect state of being very close to Jehovah! Therefore after men was expelled from paradise they are since then even given a much bigger role as helper for Adam. Actually theologians think about giving animals a higher position in nature back. After all they live in paradise and men not. Or is it so that we already live in paradise but cant recognize it because we live in a simulation of an evil world?

Well men are admittedly mature and responsible and supposedly free in their decision to use their "reason", running and striving for ever more plans to shape the world, but in many respects they have lost a natural sense of goodness, kindness and love but princially lost their innocence, something that cats have always possessed in the state of "animal unreason" and with what they are an exemple for us and for what they deserve to live in their paradise for ever.

The bible is not a really closed book, it is open for interpretation and new scrolls are awaited yet for the new world. If you have any question about cats and dogs, sit down on your couch, take your pet and read the bible together with it. This helps much, think about that you are sitting next to a messenger of Jehovah, a messenger of the paradise.

P.S. Perhaps that was the reason why queen Cleopatra liked cats-eyeliners. :cat: :heart:

anyone else?

how does it make you feel?.

Even after decades they worked for me: No. 108 (old) /1984 Jehovahs word is faithful.
Please joyfully (kidding) "Just as the raaiiin that faaaa: alllss from heeea ven...."

Dozens differenet of the melodies come up from time to time. I was a passionate singer back than. That doesnt scare me today. I even on the way to the hall in the bus and train had earphones and listened to the first old kingdom cassettes, I had an expensive walkman of Toshiba and repeated them endlessly.

What if Jesus Christ was not put to death by the Romans but instead died a natural death?

by deegee in

according to christianity, the death of jesus was a miscarriage of justice.

so then, what if there was no so-called miscarriage of justice so that jesus was not put to death by the romans but he instead died a natural death?

would christians still receive the forgiveness of their sins and their hoped for salvation?.

OrphanCrows: And, it had to be a male who died - the act had to reaffirm divine patriarchy.

Women are able to create new life out of nothing, they have divine power, childbirth is divine act,
blood is involved.

Men are not able to give a child a birth. So men invented the idea of giving people a better life, spiritual, second, a new life, called "eternal" life, they have to fight, they have to be strong to impress, blood sacrifice is impressive.

Its only the eternal competetion between men and women.

A perfect man who sins can very well die. Otherwise the mission of Jesus would have been no test of Loyality.

So if Jesus in his perfect state sinned only once - e.g. didnt accomplish his mission would be a sin (his mission was to be always LOYAL in the great issue and not to die as payment for Adam) - from this moment on he would have started growing old. So if he had not been loyal in just a single occasion he would have instantly began to grow old anyway and die a death of an unimportant forgotten cult leader.

But if he would have remained loyal and would not have sinned and so accomplished fathers mission of proving loyalty with bravour, he shouldn't have died at all and would now be father of many children with a beautiful woman. That was jesus plan.

Sadly the Romans wanted a harder test of loyality. They liked to test all crazy jews with thistlecrowns and torture and even tried lacerations and the test of cruzification on him to see if he was a real king.

Jesus had had other plans. He had not calculated that it would really come so far. He didnt want to die, but he wanted to stay loyal and live forever as perfect man on earth. He had to stay loyal so what could he do? He had to shoulder this roman punishment burden also.

If he fled and called his angel armee to help and free him from the Roman soldiers, he would have been a weakling but would he have been actually illoyal? Did his mission not only actually include Loyality or even loyality until death? Was it a loyality until death mission? Why should it have been a sin not accepting Roman death punishmentto? Would loyality really include paying the unique superman-price for Adams' guilt?

God would have certainly disfellowshipped him from divine companionship but later he would have given him a change to return e.g. as helper of the GB.

He would not have been better or more loyal than Adam. Jesus would have repented but had not commited any heavy sin - only that he didnt want to die and to accept a roman punishment - and so despite everything he would have lived for ever on earth in the end. He could even be a real king and turn over everything to make a paradise earth.

But he didnt want to be an unknown looser for his followers firstly and he knew that his mission included going back to heaven anyway, so he decided to die fast, so he also avoided further tests of loyality and further temptations as well as big sins and could give his followers the hope of resurrection. Was not that a good example? He only had to way 3 days and he would have given a better impression than Adam. (I must be crazy)
