WHAT  A  BIG  DIFFERENCE !

Australia - Who Decides? - Children? - Children can decide their medical treatments under the only laws of anticipation of victory.
We are all afraid of a moment when we could lose the ability to decide what medical treatments to accept or reject. This is why Australian governments have promoted advanced care planning, which means discussing and expressing preferences about the type of medical care that you or would not want in a situation where you lack mental capacity to make decisions .
Writing an early-warning directive is part of the planning process, but a directive means that the person's preferences are bound to be followed by the law. All States and territories have different laws that allow adults to make advanced care plans or directives. In Victoria, the new legislation will enter into force in March 2018, creating clear obligations for health professionals to respect early guidelines.
A globally unique aspect of the 2016 Victoria medical planning and decision-making act is that it allows children to make early directives. In The Netherlands, children aged 12 or more may make early decisions requesting euthanasia if their parents give their consent. Early palliative care guidelines have also been used in the United States, but they have no legal authority, merely the state of "moral persuasion".
In Victoria there will be no age limit, so anyone can establish a directive, provided they are competent to do so. This means that a person can understand the nature of the treatment that is taking decisions and the potential results if the advanced care directive is followed.
At first glance, it may seem irresponsible to give children the power over their future medical treatment, which in many cases are a matter of life and death. But it is important to respect the autonomy of young people in their health-care choices. It encourages its commitment to treatment, gives voice to its values and provides a sense of empowerment at a time when the disease can diminish its control of events.
Are the children capable?
While adolescents are more likely to participate in risk behaviour and be influenced by the opinions of their friends, they are less likely to affect their decisions on treatment at the hospital. A recent study showed that 12-Year-olds have the competence to make medical decisions. But, of course, this depends on the kind of decision that is taken.
A decision involving risky and complex treatment would require a high level of competition. However, children with terminal and chronic diseases will know a lot about their diseases and the impact of treatment. In 2008, a 13-Year-old English girl refused to accept a heart transplant after having spent six operations in two years. She showed her case officer and the hospital that she could make an informed decision and had weighed the risks of surgery and potential benefits (though she later changed her mind).
We may consider it appropriate to protect young people from taking decisions which are deemed to be harmful and against their interests. Ethical dilemmas usually occur when children do not go with what the doctors propose. The courts have annulled the decisions of the competent minors to refuse treatment in cases where this refusal leads to permanent disability or death.
For example, in Sydney a 17-Year-old boy refused to receive blood transfusions because of his beliefs as Jehovah's witness. The judge annulled the child's decision after having considered that preserving his life was more powerful than respect for the child's faith.
A similar case occurred in England in 1993. Here, a 15-Year-old boy, whom the judge described as "smart", rejected a blood transfusion as part of the treatment of leukemia for religious reasons. The judge considered him incompetent to make such a decision because the boy could not understand the pain he would suffer, the fear of dying, and the affliction caused to his family.
The new laws of victory will mean that the decisions taken before the power is lost will be followed, so the directive cannot be annulled. But there are strict safeguards and requirements for an advanced care directive.
It must be written in English, signed and attested. At least one of the witnesses must be a doctor who must certify that the person seems to have the ability to make decisions and understand the effect of the statements made. In the case of a child, the doctor may help them to appreciate the implications of the early directive and ensure that it is consistent and practically applicable.
When a child can write a directive
Early Directives can be made for any future treatment, not only situations where the person is terminally ill or has a condition that shortens his life. However, minors are likely to write early directives to inform their end-of-life care.
An early directive enters into force when the child is unable to make decisions as a result of his illness. Victorian legislation provides that if a child has made a valid early directive in which he has included instructions to reject a particular medical treatment, such as dialysis or chemotherapy, a health professional should not provide such treatment.
The Prior self-determination of the child is respected, although those who treat him do not believe that the decision is in his best interest.
The law also allows for a securities directive, which is different from the instructive. The Values Directive records the preferences and values of a person for future treatment. A young person diagnosed with cancer can put more emphasis on the rest of the quality of life and death worthy than lasting painful treatment. A Securities Directive will mean that the decision-Maker for medical treatment will have to consider treatment based on the patient's values.
Parents want to protect their children and health professionals want to do the best for their patients. Early Guidelines should be drafted as a collaboration between the child, health professionals and, ideally, parents. This will make it possible to understand the possible treatment options, their benefits and damage, and the impact of rejecting certain treatments, which will lead to a meaningful and effective advance decision.

Origin of Sea Life. - Jehovah the Creator of all Life! ????? -
The Genesis account reports that sea life and flying creatures were the first animal life on earth. It reads: “And God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.’ And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that it was good. With that God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day.”—Ge 1:20-23.
??????
In saying “Let the waters swarm,” God was not leaving the emergence of life to the seas themselves, to bring forth some primeval form from which all other animals evolved. For the account also says that “God proceeded to create [marine creatures] . . . according to their kinds.” Also in the record of the ‘sixth day’ and the creation of land animals, God is represented as saying: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds.” God did not command the sea to put forth living things for the land, or let these things evolve from the sea, but “God proceeded to make” each kind to suit the habitat each was to occupy.—Ge 1:24, 25.

Overview of the Aftermath of Hurricane Irma - ??????
Barbados branch territories affected—Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Maarten (Dutch side). Severe damage has been reported on Barbuda and St. Maarten.
Barbuda is a small island with a total population of about 1,800 people. Since most utility services and an estimated 95 percent of all the homes there were damaged, it has been declared a disaster area and a state of emergency has been imposed. Reports confirm that all 11 publishers have been safely evacuated to the nearby island of Antigua, where a Disaster Relief Committee (DRC) is caring for their needs. There are no injuries reported.
Approximately 700 publishers live on the island of St. Martin (both the Dutch and the French sides). One sister was injured. A delegation, including members of the Barbados and France branch offices as well as medical professionals, was sent to St. Martin to assist the brothers.
France branch territories affected—Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Barthelemy, and St. Martin (French side). No deaths or injuries were reported in either Guadeloupe or Martinique.
The island of St. Barthelemy (the French name for St. Barts) was devastated, and it is nearly impossible to communicate with publishers on the island. However, the branch office has received a report from the circuit overseer for the island indicating that all of the 30 publishers have been accounted for and the Kingdom Hall sustained minor damage. A DRC was formed to coordinate shipments of water, food, and other relief supplies from the nearby islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique to the brothers on St. Barthelemy and St. Martin.
Relief supplies being prepared for shipment at an Assembly Hall in Guadeloupe.
Dominican Republic branch territory affected. The Branch Committee has established five permanent DRCs to care for the country’s 38,000 publishers. Days before the arrival of Irma, at the direction of the circuit overseers, congregation elders visited all of the publishers to ensure that each one was taking the necessary precautionary measures. In areas prone to flooding along the north coast, the elders evacuated 1,273 publishers to safer sites and 2,068 publishers with less secure housing were directed to take refuge in Kingdom Halls or with other Witness families in more secure dwellings.
A few recently constructed Kingdom Halls sustained minor damage. The homes of five Witness families were damaged. Repairs are being made by the local congregations or under the direction of the DRCs. There have been no deaths or injuries reported.
United States branch territories affected—the Bahamas, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos Islands, and both the British and U.S. Virgin Islands. We previously reported the deaths of one brother and one sister. While no other deaths have been reported among the brothers, the branch has confirmed that another 6 of our brothers were injured and over 3,000 have been displaced. Hundreds of brothers from central Florida and Georgia have offered their homes to evacuees.
In Florida, those at the Remote Translation Office (RTO) in Fort Lauderdale were evacuated to the West Palm Beach Assembly Hall, where they stayed for several days. The RTO offices sustained some water damage, and the residence was without power and Internet access for several days. These are now restored, and operations are returning to normal.
At the school facility in Palm Coast, Florida, all students from an incoming class of the School for Circuit Overseers and Their Wives were evacuated, as well as three classes of the School for Kingdom Evangelizers. A small group of about 20 remained safely at the facility. The property did not sustain any extensive damage though it did lose power.
Relief supplies being collected in an Assembly Hall in Caguas, Puerto Rico.
The Disaster Relief Desk in the Service Department and the Local Design/Construction Department are coordinating the relief efforts to ensure that our brothers receive assistance in a safe and timely way.
Relief Centers have been set up in the U.S. to supply food and water to those affected on the mainland. Additionally, a DRC in Puerto Rico is providing humanitarian assistance to our brothers on the islands.
In the Caribbean, at least 61 homes received minor damage and 55 homes experienced major damage. Additionally, at least two Kingdom Halls sustained severe damage.
Flooding outside of a Kingdom Hall in Turks and Caicos.
Brothers from the branch office and world headquarters are traveling to Florida and the islands to provide assistance to the brothers. Assessments are ongoing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by Hurricane Irma and with all those involved in the relief efforts as they provide assistance and comfort.—Romans 15:5; 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4, 7; 8:14.

“Eye Has Not Seen” - What Does It Mean? 
???
1 Corinthians 2:9
9 But just as it is written: “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”
???

“Eye Has Not Seen”
In his letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul quoted the book of Isaiah when he wrote: “Just as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him.’” (1 Corinthians 2:9)* 
???
Neither Paul’s statement nor the expressions of Isaiah refer to the things Jehovah has prepared for his people in a heavenly inheritance or in a future earthly paradise. 
???
Paul is applying Isaiah’s words to the blessings that were already being enjoyed by Christians in the first century, such as understanding the deeper things of God and receiving spiritual enlightenment from Jehovah.
???
We can understand deep spiritual things only when it is Jehovah’s due time to reveal them—and even then, only if we are spiritual people with a close relationship with Jehovah. 
???
Paul’s words apply to those with little or no spirituality. Their eye cannot see, or discern, spiritual truths, and their ear cannot hear, or understand, such things. Knowledge of the things that God has prepared for those who love him does not even enter into the hearts of such men. But to those who are dedicated to God, as Paul was, God has revealed these things through his spirit.—1 Corinthians 2:1-16.

Greenwood Village Medical company sued for religious discrimination American medical response, a provider of Greenwood and subsidiary of envision healthcare, based in Nashville, violated federal law by refusing to provide religious accommodation to an employee, the equal employment opportunity commission in a lawsuit filed Last week.
According to the lawsuit, an employee of the Memphis installation of the company, a Jehovah's Witness, asked for Sundays to worship. Amr initially welcomed the request, but after seven months informed the employee that he was not obliged to provide him with religious accommodation.
Amr finally fired the employee, apparently for receiving two "Non-call / Non-shows" in a period of 12 months, and for a safety belt violation. Eeoc contends that amr illegally downloaded the employee because of his religion and in retaliation.
Such conduct violates the Civil Rights Act 1964., the filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court after dealing first with an agreement. The requests an interim measure prohibiting amr from discriminating against employees on the basis of their religion, as well as late, compensatory and punitive payments.
"employers are obliged by law to provide their employees with reasonable religious accommodation", said Katharine w. Kores, District Director of the office in Memphis. " Moreover, only a bad situation worsens if an employee is punished for making such requests. Those who do not comply with these legal requirements, which are also simple common sense, are open to potential disputes and must be prepared to suffer the legal consequences of their illegal actions ".

Every Mother Remembers Her Child's First Step! - ?????????
Basic Facts About Elephants
?????????
Habitat loss is one of the key threats facing elephants. Many climate change projections indicate that key portions of elephants’ habitat will become significantly hotter and drier, resulting in poorer foraging conditions and threatening calf survival. Increasing conflict with human populations taking over more and more elephant habitat and poaching for ivory are additional threats that are placing the elephant’s future at risk.
?????????
Defenders of Wildlife is working through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to maintain a ban on the sale of ivory as well as on regulations that govern worldwide elephant protection.
?????????
Of the two species, African elephants are divided into two subspecies (savannah and forest), while the Asian elephant is divided into four subspecies (Sri Lankan, Indian, Sumatran and Borneo). Asian elephants have been very important to Asian culture for thousands of years – they have been domesticated and are used for religious festivals, transportation and to move heavy objects.
?????????
Diet
?????????
Staples: Grasses, leaves, bamboo, bark, roots. Elephants are also known to eat crops like banana and sugarcane which are grown by farmers. Adult elephants eat 300-400 lbs of food per day.
?????????
Population
?????????
At the turn of the 20th century, there were a few million African elephants and about 100,000 Asian elephants. Today, there are an estimated 450,000 - 700,000 African elephants and between 35,000 - 40,000 wild Asian elephants.
?????????
Range
?????????
African savannah elephants are found in savannah zones in 37 countries south of the Sahara Desert. African forest elephants inhabit the dense rainforests of west and central Africa. The Asian elephant is found in India, Sri Lanka, China and much of Southeast Asia.
?????????
Behavior
?????????
Elephants form deep family bonds and live in tight matriarchal family groups of related females called a herd. The herd is led by the oldest and often largest female in the herd, called a matriarch. Herds consist of 8-100 individuals depending on terrain and family size. When a calf is born, it is raised and protected by the whole matriarchal herd. Males leave the family unit between the ages of 12-15 and may lead solitary lives or live temporarily with other males.
?????????
Elephants are extremely intelligent animals and have memories that span many years. It is this memory that serves matriarchs well during dry seasons when they need to guide their herds, sometimes for tens of miles, to watering holes that they remember from the past. They also display signs of grief, joy, anger and play.
?????????
Recent discoveries have shown that elephants can communicate over long distances by producing a sub-sonic rumble that can travel over the ground faster than sound through air. Other elephants receive the messages through the sensitive skin on their feet and trunks. It is believed that this is how potential mates and social groups communicate.
?????????
Reproduction
?????????
Mating Season: Mostly during the rainy season.
Gestation: 22 months.
Litter size: 1 calf (twins rare).
Calves weigh between 200-250 lbs at birth. At birth, a calf's trunk has no muscle tone, therefore it will suckle through its mouth. It takes several months for a calf to gain full control of its trunk.

Song 38 "He Will Make You Strong"
SONG 38
He Will Make You Strong!
(1 Peter 5:10)
        1. There was a reason why God brought the truth to you
And called you from the darkness to the light.
Within your heart, he saw the longing that you had
To search for him and practice what is right.
You promised him in prayer to do his will;
He helped you then, and he will help you still.
(CHORUS)
With Jesus’ blood He bought you,
to God you now belong.
So he will make you firm,
and he will make you strong.
He’ll guide you and protect you,
as he has all along.
Yes, he will make you firm,
and he will make you strong.         2. God gave his own beloved Son in your behalf;
On this account, He wants you to succeed.
If He did not withhold the gift of His dear Son,
Then never doubt He’ll give the strength you need.
He won’t forget the faith and love you’ve shown;
He will not fail to care for all His own.
(CHORUS)
With Jesus’ blood He bought you,
to God you now belong.
So he will make you firm,
and he will make you strong.
He’ll guide you and protect you,
as he has all along.
Yes, he will make you firm,
and he will make you strong. (See also Rom. 8:32; 14:8, 9; Heb. 6:10; 1 Pet. 2:9.

How powerful a figure is Satan in today’s world?
??⌛️??⌛️??
Jesus Christ referred to him as being “the ruler of the world,” the one whom mankind in general obeys by heeding his urgings to ignore God’s requirements. (John 14:30; Eph. 2:2) The Bible also calls him “the god of this system of things,” who is honored by the religious practices of people who adhere to this system of things.—2 Cor. 4:4; 1 Cor. 10:20.
☄️?⌛️??⌛️??
When endeavoring to tempt Jesus Christ, the Devil “brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time; and the Devil said to him: ‘I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it. You, therefore, if you do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.’” (Luke 4:5-7) Revelation 13:1, 2 reveals that Satangives ‘power, throne and great authority’ to the global political system of rulership. Daniel 10:13, 20 discloses that Satan has had demonic princes over principal kingdoms of the earth. Ephesians 6:12 refers to these as constituting ‘governments, authorities, world rulers of this darkness, wicked spirit forces in heavenly places.’
??⌛️??⌛️??
No wonder that 1 John 5:19 says: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” But his power is only for a limited period of time and is only by the toleration of Jehovah, who is God Almighty.
??⌛️??⌛️??
How long will Satan be allowed to mislead mankind?
??⌛️??⌛️??
For evidence that we now live in the last days of Satan’s wicked system of things, see pages 95-98, under “Dates,” and the main heading “Last Days.”
??⌛️??⌛️??
The provision for relief from Satan’s wicked influence is symbolically described in this way: “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it overhim, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.” (Rev. 20:1-3) Then what? “The Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur.” (Rev. 20:10) 
??⌛️??⌛️??
What does that mean? Revelation 21:8answers: “This means the second death.” He will be gone forever!

Jehovah also exerts power through his authority as Universal Sovereign. Can you imagine having millions upon millions of intelligent, able subjects eager to do your bidding?

Regional Convention in Scotland... 
The Brothers say Hello from Scotland.. 
JW Scotland

Watchtower 12/1/1987 pages 30-31 ‘Where do such funds come from?’ is an often-asked question. Unlike the churches of Christendom, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not take up collections or send out envelopes to solicit donations. Rather, contribution boxes-like the treasury chests of Biblical times-are set up at their Kingdom Halls. 
Awake 9/8/1975 page 26 …is it not a comfort for them to know that in the local congregation of Jehovah’s witnesses they will never be tithed to pay out a percentage of their income? Nor will unscriptural money-raising schemes be imposed on them. It is at the Kingdom Hall that an unobtrusive contribution box is located for use by those who wish voluntarily to give money to support the work of the congregation. Donations mailed to the headquarters of the Watch Tower Society are also unsolicited and entirely voluntary.
Watchtower 9/15/1974 page 559 The Kingdom Halls of this happy group are open to you and you may attend free of charge, without having to suffer embarrassment by a request for contributions or the passing of a collection plate. 
Watchtower 8/15/1971 page 506 The emphasis in all giving among the Witnesses is that it must be voluntary and spontaneous, from the heart. In fact, ever since the earliest days of the modern witnesses of Jehovah it has been their policy that never should there be any passing of collection plates or similar solicitations for money.
Watchtower 5/1/1962 page 278 How May I Contribute? Jehovah’s witnesses have never gone begging for finances.

Tutorial for Making Donations Electronically video will be considered the week of October 16, 2017.
