Eksegesa John 1 : 1-18 shows that the Jehovah's Witness teachings deviate from the truth of the Bible and dangerous for Christians . The danger Christology of Jehovah's Witnesses should be bringing us to the prudence and discretion to reject it . It can be said that Jehovah's Witnesses do not include Christianity in accordance with the search results against their teachings . first ; they do not recognize the Bible that has been issued by the Indonesian National Bible Institute and consider if the Bible has too much harm to use their own New Translation of the Holy Scriptures that have been proven not a translation , but just a collection of interpretations and teachings of their leader alone . second ; Jehovah's Witnesses do not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior only . They simply believe that salvation is obtained through belief in Jehovah and his kingdom and perform service message and follow the trial associations .                Before errors interfere Christology Christology of Jehovah's Witnesses Bible , please note that the topic of Christology is the difference between Christianity and other religions . This discussion has also become one of the topics that face many attacks from the outside or from within Christianity , either in the form of religion , philosophy , and ideology . The debate on this topic appeared since the beginning of Christianity , and give rise to a long and complex debate for nearly three centuries ( 300 years ) !! . Such debates will continue to exist throughout the period and just a rehash issues that had once appeared . And Christians should study the various debates and views of the ever emerging that are not easily fooled by the views back to this era .Eksegesa John 1 : 1-18 has been done and produce a biblical Christology and biblical correct . The truth is not in doubt because of the analysis conducted in accordance with the procedures and rules that apply in general . Now if Christology Christology of John compared with Jehovah's Witnesses, it will show a striking difference . Once observed , Christology Witnesses builds upon the interpretation of individuals who previously have had a negative Christological doctrine .                Conclusion those who think that Jesus is the firstborn of Creation ; Jesus was a human being ; Jesus is God in creating a peer ; Jesus lower than God , Jesus is the Angel Gabriel , and other Christological doctrine which basically degrading nature of Christ is a form of insult to the majesty of Christ . The Bible clearly and emphatically teaches that Christ is God incarnate , private alpha and omega , the creator of all that exists , and the equivalent of God the Father . Summing Christ as superior human or clear eldest creation is false teachings . The followers of Jehovah's Witnesses must repent. Amen

Although Jehovah’s Witnesses present a particular problem when undergoing surgery because of their refusal to accept stored blood, it is now quite common to undertake uncomplicated cardiac surgery in these patients. Complex or redo cardiac surgery however, is often associated with major blood loss, and is conventionally contraindicated in Jehovah’s Witnesses. We describe the perioperative management of a Jehovah’s Witness who underwent a resternotomy for mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting having previously had an aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach to blood conservation is discussed.

Russell's failure to provide his movement with a clear authority structure together with the disappointment of 1914 led to central and local schisms after his death, in which informal elites in the movement struggled for power. Russell's movement split into different groups, each emphasising a part of his message. The Pastoral Bible Institute catered for the introversionist perspective of individual character development and contemplative study ; the Laymen's Home Missionary Movement emphasised the exegetical and doctrinal complexity purveyed by a charismatic leader; the Watch Tower Society under Rutherford concentrated on evangelis ation and en passant a rigid, centrally controlled sect struc ture ; and finally the Dawn Bible Student Association catered for those elements in Russell's following who eschewed the extremes and moved towards a denominational position. Rutherford, through the Watch Tower Society, succeeded in changing all aspects of the sect from 1919 to 1932 and created the Jehovah's Witnesses — a schismatic offshoot from the Bible student community. The subsequent develop ment of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bible student groups is used to illustrate a number of central sociological issues.

Key Points TTP in Jehovah’s Witness patients has been managed successfully without PEX. This experience, plus new TTP treatments, may make it possible for patients who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses to avoid PEX in the future.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are a unique group of patients that can pose a challenge to the anesthesiologist given their desire to avoid transfusion of blood products. This religious belief can include refusal of red cells, white cells, plasma, as well as platelets. The perioperative care of such patients can include the use of bloodless techniques in order to respect their beliefs. Given the desire to avoid blood products, it is imperative to utilize strategies that will prevent unnecessary transfusion. It is also important to understand the ethical and or legal ramifications of overriding parental/adolescent requests for no transfusion as well as acceptance of adolescent transfusion refusal.

A four-year-old boy was admitted for closure of a congenital ventricular septal defect. As the boy's parents were Jehovah's Witnesses, transfusion of blood was proscribed. Cardiopulmonary bypass was achieved using a Variable Prime Cobe Membrane Lung (VPCML). Extreme haemodilution was experienced, during bypass the haematocrit fell to a level of 8%. The haematocrit rose over the next two days to 22% and the patient made a full recovery.

In the tradition of mainstream Christianity, the Trinity is a very central dogma as a faith in God as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It can be seen in the 12 creeds of the Apostolic Creed where the faith of the Trinity was first, second, and third. There is one school of Christianity, calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses, rejecting the dogma of the Trinity in their divine concept. According to Jehovah's Witnesses, the word Trinity is not originated of the Bible. The Trinity is also not taught by early Christian Fathers and Pre-Nicene. The Trinity Dogma was introduced by Constantine for some reasons, and even continued in the Athanasian Creed. Jehovah's Witnesses therefore believe that the Trinity dogma is an apostate that the Bible has foretold, and is influenced by ancient beliefs and Platonism.

Objective: To describe and discuss the use of erythropoietin as a therapeutic option for treatment of severe anemia in a patient whose religious beliefs preclude the use of blood products. Case Summary: A 23-year-old male Jehovah's Witness patient presented to the emergency department with multiple fractures and significant blood loss secondary to trauma experienced in a motor vehicle accident. The patient refused transfusion because of his religious beliefs. He was given oxygen and lactated Ringer's solution, and phlebotomy was kept to a minimum. Erythropoietin was recommended to increase production of red blood cells. Review of the product information revealed that all available erythropoietin products contain human albumin as a stabilizer. After discussion with the clinical pharmacist, the patient and his family agreed to the use of erythropoietin. The patient's hematocrit and hemoglobin improved sufficiently for him to be taken to surgery on hospital day 12, and on hospital day 23 he was discharged. Discussion: Because Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to receive blood products, alternative methods for treatment of severe anemia must be used. Although some options are clearly unacceptable, certain volume expanders can be used in conjunction with oxygen and intravenous or oral iron that do not violate the patient's religious convictions. Erythropoietin is acceptable to most Jehovah's Witnesses; however, it contains human album (2.5 mg/mL), which may be of concern to some of these patients. Conclusions: Effective communication with the patient and the patient's family regarding all treatment options is required for treatment of severe anemia in the Jehovah's Witness patient. Erythropoietin, in conjunction with iron, adequate oxygenation, and good nutritional support, sometimes is an acceptable alternative in Jehovah's Witnesses.

This chapter offers an introduction to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society or the Jehovah’s Witnesses, with particular attention to their distinctive Bible-reading strategies. The aim is broad description rather than detailed commentary and is highly selective owing to the limited space available. The chapter begins with the acknowledgment that the topic is a difficult one for outsiders, and with that caveat in place, then turns to general characteristics of Watch Tower hermeneutics. As much as possible, the study relies on examples of interpretation drawn from (more or less recent) Watch Tower publications. There are also a few notes about the organization’s New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

Abstract: This article discusses the divinity of Jesus Christ based on Philippians 2:6 as a theological answer to the christology of Ebionism, Arianism, and Jehovah's Witnesses. The main focus in this study is to examine theologically the meaning of “the image of God” in Philippians 2:6. This paper shows the result that Philippians 2:6 is explaining the divine qualifications of Jesus Christ which means Jesus Christ before the incarnation, He has existed in eternity with the Father. So it can be said that Jesus Christ is not a creation of God or an ordinary man because Jesus Christ is the same morphe as God the Father. This paper certainly uses a qualitative method, namely a method that describes a phenomenon under study. then to describe the phenomenon under study, of course, requires literature (library review). The purpose of this paper is for the lay congregation to fully and correctly understand the teachings of the Person of Jesus Christ (Christology) in order to ward off false teachings. Keywords: Divinity, the likeness of God, Jesus Christ. Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas keilahian Yesus Kristus berdasarkan Filipi 2:6 sebagai jawaban teologis terhadap kristologi Ebionisme, Arianisme, dan Saksi Yehuwa. Fokus utama dalam kajian ini yaitu mengkaji secara teologis makna “rupa Allah” dalam Filipi 2:6. Tulisan ini memperlihatkan hasil bahwa Filipi 2:6 sedang menjelaskan kualifikasi ilahi Yesus Kristus yang artinya Yesus Kristus sebelum berinkarnasi, Ia telah ada dalam kekekalan bersama dengan Bapa. Jadi dapat dikatakan bahwa Yesus Kristus bukan ciptaan Allah atau manusia biasa karena Yesus Kristus morfe yang sama dengan Allah Bapa. Tulisan ini tentu menggunakan metode kualitatif yaitu metode yang mendeskripsikan sebuah fenomena yang dikaji. maka untuk mendeskripsikan fenomena yang diteliti tentunya membutuhkan literatur-literatur (kajian pustaka). Tujuan dari tulisan ini agar jemaat khusus awam bisa memahami secara utuh dan benar mengenai ajaran tentang Pribadi Yesus Kristus (Kristologi) guna menangkal ajaran yang sesat. Kata Kunci: Keilahian, rupa Allah, Yesus Kristus.
