Relations of the Afterlife To start off, it is important to inform that an afterlife is exactly what it states to be: a life after, or a life after the known life, so to speak. Many people and early writers believed in an afterlife, all of which had their own perceptions.

Jonathan Edwards was quite the spook, well messenger... perhaps he was the warning sign!…

As I experienced one of the most diverse and culturally different religion outside my own from being a Christian, I come to realize that I’ve have learned more about Jehovah’s Witnesses than what I believed. As I see them as people speaking about their religion and going door to door to preach their word, I’ve learned that their religion related to Christianity is separate and have their own views about life and after life. Jehovah’s Witnesses also deal with issues viewed on a wise basis. Having friends with many religion backgrounds and having a few friends that have become my informants while participation in Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall, Word Studies, and Conventions; has enticed me to dig deeper into their religion as Jehovah Witnesses.…

To ensure a thorough evaluation for treating patients that refuse blood products because of religious beliefs, the healthcare team must collaborate with one another and develop an evaluation process. The healthcare team must identify the dilemma as a collective unit, outline all possible options, resolve the problems as a team, carry out the best plan to solve the problem, and analyze their outcome. By identifying the reason, the why Jehovah Witness patients refuses blood products is the first step in solving the problem.

Dick Gregory was born in 1932 and was a stand-up comedian, writer, and social activist. The story "Shame" is an excerpt from Gregory's autobiography. He writes the following: "Everybody's got a Helene Tucker, a symbol of everything you want." Of course, one's symbol does not have to be a who, but also, a what. My symbol is the worldwide organization of Jehovah's Witnesses (I will also refer to it as God’s Kingdom).…
