Jehovah’s Witnesses relax stance on use of own blood

Jehovah’s Witnesses have announced a change to their medical guidance on blood, allowing members to decide whether to use their own blood during medical procedures while keeping the long standing ban on receiving blood from others.​ The adjustment is presented as an effort to balance their religious beliefs with advances in modern medicine. It is rooted in the group’s interpretation of the Bible, which they say requires Christians to abstain from blood, but does not directly address how a person’s own blood may be used in treatment.​ Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch explained that individual choice is central to the new direction. He stated that each Christian must personally decide how their own blood will be handled during surgery, medical tests or therapy, including whether it may be stored and later returned to them.​ Lösch noted that some members may […]

US President Donald Trump on Friday branded NATO allies “cowards” for failing to provide the military assistance he requested against Iran to help control the vital Strait of Hormuz oil shipping route .

Trump calls on Japan and NATO to step up on Iran as Hormuz crisis lifts oil prices

President Donald Trump has pressed Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and NATO allies to “step up” support for the US led war with Iran as surging oil prices hit the global economy .

He said Washington does not “need anything” from allies but argued it is appropriate for partners like Japan and NATO members to contribute more ships to clear mines and escort tankers through the strategic waterway . Trump defended keeping allies in the dark about his Iran plans by invoking Japan’s 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, telling a Japanese reporter, “We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t […]
