1) When does blood cease to be blood?
According to WT's interpretation blood stops, ceases being blood if it is divided into smaller portions, so-called fractions.
WT believes (according to some medical science research) that there are 4 major parts, components of which the blood consists. This are:
... four primary blood components—red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. (source: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102008086)
WT teaches its believers that it is unacceptable (under threat of excommunication) to take blood and any of these 4 major blood components. But a personal decision of a JW member is permissible if accepts some of the fractions that can be obtained from this 4 major components.
 
2) When does a new human being, person (or animal creature) emerge? By conception or by birth? Can life come only from 2 sex cells (specialized cells) during fertilization?
Please note also that the Bible does not say that a woman conceives a piece of tissue. Instead, it states: “An able-bodied man has been conceived!” (Job 3:3) This too indicates that according to the Bible, a child exists as a person from the time of his conception. Yes, that is when human life begins. (source: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102009202)
In this case, WT stands for the position that only two cells (only two components as the primary, major components) forms, creates a new person. Man consists of several different types and sizes of tissues. Tissues forms organs. How much tissues and organs man should have that would be called a man? According to WT, man is a man, person if he consists of only two cells. It does not have to be composed of tissues and organs to be called a man. Have to be only 2 cells. Only two coupled cells are needed for the existence of one new person, the new man. Two cells in comparison to 4 major components in blood issue. Human body consists of more than 50,000 billion cells. In 1 liter of human blood there are about 4.5-5 x 1012  red cells. Interesting comparison?! 
Imagine! 4.5-5 x 1012  red cells are needed to make this part of the blood to be called "major, primary part of the blood". And such  part may not be used to treat a disease or operation for JW member, because it is called "holy, sacred". Blood is holy - red cells are holy - white cells are holy - plasma is holy - platelets are holy. Holy means forbidden in this case.   
On the other hand, only two connected, coupled cells are needed to be called sacred, holy, person, life.  Interestingly and controversial.

“Death Will Be No More”
ONLY those who have had someone dear to them taken away by death can know the frightful emptiness, the terrible sense of loss, the heartbreaking sorrow that death leaves behind by its unwelcomed visit. For such ones death is not a friend. A friend would not cause such anguish or inflict such deep, long-lasting wounds. Instead of being a friend, death is a formidable enemy.

“You can’t claim that people are ‘terrorists’ or ‘extremists’ and then simply knock on their doors to arrest them, though in all cases there is nothing at all to suggest that resistance would have been shown. Instead, there are armed searches, most often by masked men in full military gear, with the suspect hurled to the ground and handcuffed, often in the presence of their distressed and terrified children....
“It is clear that ‘secret witnesses’ are also to be used against Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the ongoing trial of Denis Christiansen, the first believer to be arrested and jailed, there has been one such ‘witness’ so far. The person, whose voice was heavily distorted, spoke of having attended Jehovah’s Witness meetings and generally repeated the prosecution’s line.” http://khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1540343334
I remember reading about this. The equipment didn’t function and his voice was distorted to such an extent that nobody could understand him & they had to call a recess.

They are born.....
So many stars are born in the universe,
And so small I feel before You!
What glow is the dust of a verse,
How much is Jehovah worth my life?
How Jehovah is worth a star
When galactics come out of your hand - Are you alive?
Too Great God, what is my life?
A moment from your eternal eternity!
But your supreme gesture rages me,
When for man You let him die,
From your first universe Violin,
The holy word for the first time!
Everything you loved most, the first son,
To taste death for everyone
It is in spirit that man becomes alive
And death to be ashamed!
Your Jehovah's love barks me,
And you give me power to overcome the fall,
The pain worlds do not hurt,
Taste Your Sweet Word Like Honey!

Those whom Jehovah loves he reproves.—Prov. 3:12.
The environment in which Jehovah is now molding us is viewed as a spiritual paradise that is presently taking shape. (Isa. 64:8) We feel safe and secure despite the wicked world around us. We have come to know Jehovah and now experience his fatherly love. (Jas. 4:8) In the new world, we will experience to the full the blessings of the spiritual paradise. Then, our spiritual paradise will have its perfect counterpart—a literal paradise under the rulership of God’s Kingdom. During that time of global restoration, Jehovah will continue to mold earth’s inhabitants, educating them to a degree that we might now find hard to imagine. (Isa. 11:9) Furthermore, God will make our minds and bodies perfect, so that we will be able to absorb his teaching and do his will flawlessly. So let us be determined to continue submitting to Jehovah, showing him that we view his molding as an expression of his love for us. w16.06 1:8, 9

Switzerland...
Jehovah's Witnesses are increasing their visits to the homes of thousands of migrants from all languages, notably Albania and Portugal.
Therefore, they are accused of using those people who, when they feel lonely, are more easily seized by sects.
In fact, the number of witnesses in Switzerland is rising thanks to migrants after years of indifference to the Swiss people. ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

Do to me as you have promised.—Judg. 11:36.
Jephthah’s daughter sacrificed her natural desires for a husband and children in order to promote true worship. How might we imitate her self-sacrificing attitude? Thousands of young Christian men and women are willingly sacrificing marriage or are not having children—at least for now—in order to serve Jehovah to the full. Older ones too may be sacrificing the time they could otherwise spend with their children and grandchildren in order to work on theocratic construction projects or to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers and to serve in areas where the need for Kingdom publishers is greater. Others set aside personal matters to share in service campaigns. Such wholehearted service brings deep joy to Jehovah, who will never forget their work and the love shown for him. (Heb. 6:10-12) Would it be possible for you to make additional sacrifices to serve Jehovah more fully? w16.04 1:16, 17

Keep On The Watch
You grab a seat at the movie theater and you sit down with your friends and loved ones. The smell of popcorn greets your nose and everyone is eager with anticipation as they wait for the movie to start. Finally all the lights go off, the sound system reaches a vibrant sound and some begin to whisper to others in their ear, wondering what the movie will be about. The intro begins with soothing music and a little girl is playing in a beautiful garden in slow motion, watching a butterfly flutter away. The scene is so peaceful and everyone is smiling, feeling relaxed. But gradually the tone of the movie grows somber and many in the audience begin to clutch their seats tightly, watching nervously. Now the scenes aren't so peaceful anymore. There are riots everywhere, the world is collapsing and people are hiding in shelters. The movie gets more intense, the suspense is building and the whole audience is silent, watching intently and waiting for the next part.. But some in the audience begin to walk away, refusing to acknowledge or watch what happens next. Unaware that the movie is about to have an astonishing plot twist, the ones who walked away missed out on the most spectacular ending ever!
But  YOU  knew it was going to have a happy ending because you read the book and you were so thrilled to finally see the story unfold on a movie screen. There is a real life event looming on the horizon and it is rapidly approaching all of us: The Great Tribulation. But you know what successes will take place in the future because you have read  "The Book"  and you continue to read it in an undertone day and night. No matter what happens from now on or how bad things get, if you continue to read from  "The Book"  you will be prepared for anything that comes your way. And if that is not reassuring enough, the Author of "The Book" speaks to you through those pages and makes your paths straight while you endure everyday in this cruel system. This system of things is about to reach a sudden and catastrophic end that will stun the rest of the world.  Have you read the Bible today?
Continue to communicate with Jehovah by praying to him daily and by reading his Word. Keep on the watch!
‘Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.’
(Matthew 24:42)

There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.—Acts 24:15.
Jehovah wants people to live, not die. As the Source of life, he becomes the Father of everyone who is resurrected. (Ps. 36:9) How appropriate, therefore, that Jesus taught us to pray: “Our Father in the heavens.” (Matt. 6:9) Jehovah has given Jesus an important share in resurrecting the dead. (John 6:40, 44) In Paradise, Jesus will fulfill his role as “the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25) Jehovah’s generosity is not limited to a few privileged people, for Jesus said: “Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3:35) It is God’s will that a numberless “great crowd” from all nations and tribes and tongues become his worshippers. Those who exercise faith in Christ’s ransom and who do the will of God can be among those who shout: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”—Rev. 7:9, 10. w17.02 2:10, 11

Remember those who are taking the lead among you.—Heb. 13:7.
To disseminate Bible truth in various languages, Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society was legally incorporated in 1884, with Charles Taze Russell as president. He was an outstanding student of the Bible, and he fearlessly exposed as false such doctrines as the Trinity and the immortality of the soul. He discerned that Christ would return invisibly and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end in 1914. (Luke 21:24) Brother Russell devoted his time, energy, and money unsparingly to share these truths with others. Clearly, at that pivotal time, Brother Russell was used by Jehovah and the head of the congregation. Brother Russell did not seek glory from humans. In 1896, he wrote: “We want no homage, no reverence, for ourselves or our writings; nor do we wish to be called Reverend or Rabbi. Nor do we wish that any should be called by our name.” He later stated: “This is not man’s work.” w17.02 4:8, 9
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/6/28

Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you.—Ps. 55:22.
How comforting it is for us to ‘throw our burden on Jehovah,’ knowing that ‘he will sustain us’! We can have full confidence that God can do “more than superabundantly beyond all the things we ask or conceive.” (Eph. 3:20) Imagine that—not just abundantly and not superabundantly but “more than superabundantly”! To receive the reward, we need to exercise full faith in Jehovah and be obedient to his directions. Moses told the nation of Israel: “Jehovah will surely bless you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, but only if you strictly obey the voice of Jehovah your God and carefully observe all this commandment that I am giving you today. For Jehovah your God will bless you just as he has promised you.” (Deut. 15:4-6) Do you have full confidence that Jehovah will bless you if you continue to serve him faithfully? You certainly have good reason for such confidence. w16.12 4:8, 9

A comment: That's so true, you can also pray to him anywhere anytime.
Thank you father Jehovah for everything  

So many generations.....
So many generations Lord,
They have gone down on this earth,
And spring, winter and autumn,
And the evil man and the holy man!
And everyone in freedom,
He honored you, or He rejected you,
You being love and justice,
You guided him to Paradise !
Only "the god of this world,
The note always forces,
Like the ugly plague,
He is a devil, a satan and a god!
If he wants aggression or he does not want,
Say a word from the people
The forced man is to drink it,
Satan forms an ax!
So many generations, world,
Or broke out of the world and they were extinguished,
And so many renowned people,
Cold death defeated him!
But to Jehovah, death does not,
Not to say the slightest word!
Is not Jehovah lifting up,
All the world's deaths in the earth?
In his infinite power,
Satan is pulled to the abyss!
We are around an era,
With holy people in Paradise!

They've even been mugged June 15 Tabasco. Due to the high levels of insecurity in the streets of Villahermosa, Jehovah's Witnesses have stopped preaching and are now using a mobile application. It became known that many citizens fear that they will be let into their homes to receive the word of God in the face of crime, which is why they are now inviting them to download the application and explore information related to Jehovah's commands. "In some places, we have been assaulted, they have even entered the halls of the kingdom where we are gathered, they have assaulted us, they have kidnapped brothers", say the religious. "It's a free application where you can check out Bible movies, children's cartoons, tips and the Bible online," said preacher Raymundo Argudo Perez.

EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL.  bec.  created  and  coming  from  JEHOVAH
 ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

Uno no se imagina que Jehová pueda olvidarse de las cosas.
Al fin y al cabo, lo sabe todo, y estamos seguros de que no se olvida de nada.
Pero ya saben que a los humanos sí se nos olvidan las cosas.
En el relato de Deuteronomio se explica que Moisés estaba dando consejos a los israelitas para cuando vivieran en la Tierra Prometida.
En el versículo 12 del capítulo 6 de Deuteronomio, leemos: “Cuídate para que no te olvides de Jehová, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de esclavos”. Así que queda claro que los siervos de Dios podemos olvidarnos de Jehová. Pero eso también puede ocurrir a la inversa.
Veamos cómo el apóstol Pablo presentó la idea de que Jehová también puede olvidar.
La encontramos en Hebreos 6:10. Fíjense en cómo dice aquí que para Jehová también es posible olvidar.
Dice: “Porque Dios no es injusto para olvidar la obra de ustedes y el amor que mostraron para con su nombre, por el hecho de que han servido a los santos y continúan sirviendo”. Aquí dice que hay dos cosas que Jehová nunca olvidará. ¿Cuáles son? Bueno, nuestro trabajo y nuestro amor.
Ahora pensemos en el tema que escogí para este discurso.
No es “Démosle razones a Jehová para que no nos olvide”, porque eso ya lo estamos haciendo.
El título es “Sigamos dándole razones a Jehová para que no nos olvide”. Por eso es bueno que analicemos más detenidamente esas sencillas palabras de Pablo, porque nos ayudarán a no olvidarnos de Jehová. Y seguramente él tampoco se olvidará de nosotros.
Primero vamos a hablar sobre el trabajo y más adelante hablaremos sobre el amor.
Es interesante que Pablo no dice que Dios nunca olvidará nuestro puesto de responsabilidad.
Jehová no dice: “Oh, eres del Comité de Sucursal.
Qué bien, nunca lo olvidaré”. O: “¡Eres precursor, precursor especial! ¡Eres anciano!”. O quizás: “¡Nunca voy a olvidar que eres encargado de una sección del Departamento de Servicio!”. Eso no es lo que Pablo dijo en este versículo.
¿Entonces, qué es lo que dijo? Que Jehová no olvidará nuestro trabajo.
Y es cierto que necesitamos miembros del Comité de Sucursal, ancianos, precursores.
.. Pero lo que Jehová no olvidará es el trabajo que realizamos de toda alma y las diversas formas en las que le servimos.
Me gustaría hablarles de un hermano que entiende bien esta parte de Hebreos 6:10. Hace unos años, los Comités de Salones de Asambleas tenían cinco integrantes, y se nos dijo que había que reducir el número a tres.
El Comité de Sucursal debía decidir qué hermanos dejarían de formar parte de los comités.
En un caso, decidimos que el hermano de más edad y de más experiencia ya no tendría esa responsabilidad.
Y había que mandar a alguien para decírselo, porque no queríamos enviarle una carta.
¿A quién le tocó? A mí. Así que estaba sentado en la mesa —una mesa de reuniones— delante del comité del Salón de Asambleas.
Estaba nervioso, les leía textos bíblicos para llegarles al corazón.
Al final, llegó el momento de decir: “Bueno, hermanos, ustedes dos tendrán que dejar su asignación”. Inmediatamente, el hermano mayor levantó la mano y dijo: “¿Le puedo leer un texto bíblico?”. Y le dije: “Sí, claro, por favor”. Entonces leyó Hebreos 6:10 y dijo: “Hermanos, yo no estoy aquí por un título.
Estoy aquí para trabajar.
Solo denme trabajo que hacer”. Cada vez que cuento esta historia me emociono.
La verdad es que aquel comentario explica muy bien lo que Pablo estaba diciendo: “Jehová no olvidará la obra de ustedes”. Bueno, volvamos a Hebreos 6:10. Ahí se menciona el segundo punto.
Dice que Jehová no va a olvidar nuestro amor.
¿De qué clase de amor estaba hablando Pablo? “Jehová, te queremos”, y Jehová mira hacia abajo y dice: “Muchas gracias, nunca olvidaré que me quieren”. Bueno, aunque eso sea así, no es lo que Pablo quería decir.
Leámoslo otra vez.
En el versículo 10, después de decir que no olvidará “la obra de ustedes”, añade: “Y el amor que mostraron para con su nombre, por el hecho de que han servido a los santos y continúan sirviendo”. Aquí hay un par de expresiones importantes: “que mostraron” y “continúan sirviendo”. En otras palabras, Jehová está diciendo: “Lo que no voy a olvidar nunca es el amor que muestran a sus hermanos”. Y no es un amor teórico.
Ustedes han asistido a clase por cinco meses, ¿cierto? Habrán leído todos los textos que hablan sobre el amor, habrán escuchado muchos ejemplos sobre cómo ser amorosos, tienen toda la teoría.
Y ahora les decimos: “Vayan y pónganlo en práctica.
Demuestren lo que han aprendido”. ¿Recuerdan qué dijo Pablo sobre las palabras sin obras? Dijo que eran como címbalos estruendosos.
Así que el amor debe ir acompañado de obras, no quedarse en meras palabras.
Con relación a esto, quisiera contarles lo que le pasó a un hermano.
Cuando yo era un superintendente de circuito joven, le tenía miedo a mi superintendente de distrito.
Bueno, todos le tenían miedo.
Pues, en una asamblea de circuito, estaba solo, sin su esposa.
No le contó a nadie por qué, y nadie se atrevía a preguntarle.
Así que, antes del discurso final del domingo, sin pedirle permiso, les expliqué a todos lo que ocurría.
Dije: “Hermanos, ¿se fijaron en que su esposa no vino? Solo quiero comunicarles que mañana tiene una operación complicada, así que, ¿qué tal si oramos por ellos?”. Luego, dieron paso al hermano.
Pero no salió. Se quedó un rato largo detrás de la plataforma. Para ser sincero, yo no sabía qué hacer.
Al final, el hermano salió muy muy lentamente y se acercó al micrófono.
Comenzó a hablar un poco de forma entrecortada y presentó su discurso con voz muy baja.
Ya saben que al final del programa la canción suele ser bastante conmovedora.
Luego le tocaba a él la oración final. Pero no podía hablar.
Y empezó a llorar.
Después de bastante tiempo, pudo decir un par de palabras y terminó con “en el nombre de Jesús, amén”. ¿Saben qué ocurrió después? Todos los hermanos del circuito lo rodearon y lo abrazaron.
Estaban llorando.
Más tarde, el hermano me dijo: “Gary, yo quiero a los hermanos.
Solamente que no sé cómo expresarlo”. Bueno, si a nosotros nos pasa lo mismo, aprendamos a demostrar amor.
¿Cómo lograrlo? Tal vez tengamos que cambiar la cara.
Bueno, no cambiar de cara, sino la expresión, que sea más amable.
Quizás tengamos que suavizar nuestra voz o esforzarnos por ser más amigables y accesibles.
Hagan cosas por los demás, cuiden a los hermanos mayores de la congregación a la que asistan.
Háganlo incluso aunque ustedes no sean así o se sientan incómodos, porque con el tiempo les saldrá de forma natural.
Entonces, cuando lleguen a la entrada de su Salón del Reino o a la entrada de la sucursal, los hermanos se acercarán a ustedes, y no será por el puesto que ocupen, sino porque se han esforzado mucho en demostrar amor.
Por eso, cuando vayan al lugar que se les asigne, recuerden siempre que Jehová conoce bien la obra de ustedes y el amor que han mostrado, y nunca lo olvidará.

The proselytism of Jehovah's Witnesses: they even learn Chinese in Ecuador to recruit
RIES Secretariat, 4.06.18
**"What's the secret to having a family that's always close?"**reads Eduardo Cueva on a poster at the head of a mobile bookseller.
He translates it from a phrase written in Mandarin that attracts the attention of those who pass by the boulevard of the Quebrada, located at Av. de Los Shyris and Portugal (Quito, Ecuador). For the past two months, he and a colleague have been setting up the stand every Tuesday and talking to people who ask what it means. We read it in the newspaper La Hora.
All the book covers have colorful pictures and pictograms, and everyone talks about Jehovah's word. Cueva is from Guayaquil, is 28 years old and started learning the language when he was 20. "Some brothers came to teach Mandarin and I was included," says the young man, who speaks fluently.
No matter the language
Every day, groups of Jehovah's Witnesses are placed in different parts of the city to share their faith as part of the commands of their sect. "Messages must reach everyone, no matter what language they speak." For this reason, the sector was chosen to implement the Mandarin texts, as there is an important presence of Chinese and Mandarin speaking companies.
Although the Asian nation still does not officially allow Jehovah's Witnesses to open their offices, and in countries such as South Korea and Russia, members of this creed have been imprisoned, Cueva says that this is not an impediment to citizens' knowledge of his doctrine. From 8 a.m. onwards, install the bookcase and it is available until 12 a.m. so that people can take one of the texts for free. During the time that the initiative has been underway, not only Chinese people have come together, but also people of all nationalities says the Guayaquil native.
In other parts of the city, however, English is also preached once a week and those who are with the mobile booksellers attend to people who are interested in the explanatory materials. Books written in different languages are printed for Latin America in Brazil and Colombia and distributed from there to Ecuador.
To reach any person
Another special feature of the sect is that during all the meetings there are sign language interpreters who interpret for the hearing impaired. On the official website of the sect, there are explanatory videos for information.
Also included is a guide with phrases for people who need to preach in another language around the world. There are videos, songs, activities to practice and a manual to learn "What can you do if you meet someone who speaks another language?”.
Street proselytizing is one of the most recognized characteristics of Jehovah's Witnesses and one of their obligations. In fact, in sect jargon, they call themselves "publishers". It is common to see them in public spaces or visiting homes to preach their manipulated version of the word of God.
As we reported in 2014, at that time the sect began to test a new method of attracting followers, which is what you can now see in Quito and around the world: to be on the street, in busy places, not talking to anyone, but waiting for a passer-by to come and show interest in the books and brochures on display in these "booksellers" or small portable stands.
According to the official website of the sect, their role as preachers is explained from the biblical word, one of the quotes that are constantly repeated is the command of Jesus that is read in the Gospel according to Matthew: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all nations, [...] teaching them to observe all the things that I have commanded you.
