Jehovah

Although we followed many traditions of the Christian faith we also adopted the traditions and values of the Jehovah witness. Since I am a Christian I believe that through Christ and accepting him as my savior, and the who had his only son die for all of our sins so that we may have endured ever lasting peace. This has made me a strong believer as the world as a…

The use of the word firstborn in Colossians has sometimes created controversy (Col. 1:15). The Greek word prototokos actually means priority and the verse shows that Jesus has preeminence above all. Furthermore, it shows that Christ is the Lord over creation. The idea of the firstborn can be expressed in the relationship between Abraham and his sons (Gen. 21:10). While Ishmael was the physically born first, he was not identified as the firstborn because Isaac had the priority of rights. Erwin…

Before spring break started, I had no clue as to what my next experience would be about. Every year in the spring, the Jehovah Witnesses have an assembly to encourage one another and to help them draw closer to God. This year the theme was “Maintain Your Love for Jehovah”. The assembly usually takes place in Jackson, but because of March Madness, we were sent to Hammond, Louisiana. A week before we had to go, my grandmother told me that I would have to drive this year. She knows I have a…

dream... Amon Ra was in a polite discussion with the Catholic God about their approaches on later versions of the apple story, while the Anglican one was having his drink alone, usual Calvados; his approach to the apple issue. - Again! – This time Jehovah jumped furious from his divan, just to get a wild giggle from that big and depressed group of Aztec, Mayan and Incas gods. Nobody…

legal and ethical aspects associated with a medical consent religious beliefs and language barriers could pose a challenge resulting in an unfavorable outcome. A patient’s personal convictions play a large role in their medical treatment such as, Jehovah Witness refusing a blood transfusion. The medical organization has an ethical obligation to fulfill these requests, while having alternative avenues to present the patient to ensure the best quality of care is still carried out. Nor, can the…

Choice Between the Competent and the Incompetent There have been many instances in which a patient, who discovers they have a disease involving dementia, would write an advance directive: a written statement wishing that no treatment is given to them once the dementia causes them to be unable to remember their past, and their family and friends. Arguments arise when debating on whether or not to obey the advance directives given by the patient, two of which will be examined in this paper.…

The Art Form of Humor The Different Views Of Punching Up And Down In “Why Punching Down Will Never Be Funny” by Schaach Koul, she argues that punishing down as in making jokes of those with less power is not funny. I both agree and disagree with her. Comedy has become such a controversial topic. Can a joke be considered funny depending on who is telling the joke or is it based off the intensity of the joke? In my opinion comedy is for entertaining purposes. People should…

than six-in-ten Americans (63%), including greater parts of numerous religious customs, see their religion 's sacrosanct messages as the expression of God. This conviction has a tendency to be most regular among Christians. More than eight-in-ten Jehovah 's Witnesses (92%), Mormons (91%) and individuals from fervent (88%) and truly dark (84%) Protestant chapels view the Bible as the expression of God, as do larger parts of Catholics (62%), mainline Protestants (61%) also, Orthodox Christians…

without completely understanding Hitler’s grand scheme, yet still supporting him. The victims are the groups of people the injustices are caused to. Examples of victims during this time would be the Jews, African-Americans, disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah Witness, and others. Bystanders, to me, at least, are on or near the same level as collaborators, because by bystanders not doing anything and being passive about what is happening around them gives the perps more power. If one does not stand…

Making a change in the world for the health care provided to Jehovah’s Witnesses didn’t become so personal until recently. My cousin who is a Jehovah’s Witness as well passed away last month after being put on the waiting list for liver transplant. She got sick two weeks before, but really didn’t think anything of it until she started having sharp stomach pain and was having trouble walking. She and her husband went to the hospital that night, there they tried to give her a blood transfusion,…
