Letters about faith
S
G
With the coming of
Spring, I see now what
the phrase, "The
Prettietst Town in
Canada" means. The
be'auty around us
reminds us of two things -
- the goodness of the
Creator and the caring
response of His Creation.
It was a sad sight to see
recently how carelessly a
young person tossed an
ice-cream wrapper onto
the street. A small
concern, for sure, in a
world full of wars,
violence and racial
unrest. Yet, somehow it
seems the former is as
much a matter of attitude
as the latter. Such at-
titudes are reflections of
what 'responsible' people
do, --as-adults- toss --waste.
from car windows, and
our streets and roads are
littered with broken
glass, cans, and bottles.
Such are simply small -
scaled attitudes of the
kind which waste our

But, are these religious

Indeed they are. The

Even medical men question practice
Dear Editor,
Has the time come for
medical opinion to un-
dergo a change as in the
past? Bits of news from
the United States,
Canada and Poland
would seem to so in-
dicate.
The medical journal
"Zyimy Dluzej" (Live
'Longer) of the Polish
People's Republic
recently commented on a
growing medical' trend
away from blood tran-
sfusions, saying that
doctors have come "from
naive faith in the saving
value of blood" in the
past "until our day when
,sober ju gement shows
that bloo4 can also be
very dangerous."
The writer, Professor
Franciszek Smolarfk,
M.D., added: "There was
a time when the healing
progress was measured
by liters of transfused
blood. Today we see the
real truth, that blood is a
foreign tissue ... able to
cause far-reaching im-
munological reactions." -
August 1979, p.14.
Professor Horace'
Herbsman, M.D., of the
State University of New
York Downstate Medical
Center, confirms this
changing medical view.
He writes in "Emergency
Medicine: "Indeed,
perhaps our experiences
with Jehovah's Witnesses
might be ,interpreted to
mean that we do not need
to rely on blood tran-
sfusions, with all their
potential complications,
as much as we once
thought." - January 15, Dear Editor,
1980 p. 76. Ref. to Mr. Snyder's

How did she answer her ideas. They used faith,
which is the substance of
things hoped for, the
evidence of things not
seen.
The wind, electricity
and nuclear fission all
work to create powers
that we can use for our
benefit or detriment, We
can choose to ignore
these powers, but we do
so at our own peril. These
powers, plus faith, all
work with ethereal for-
ces, to function.
Mr. Snyder maintains
own question? "'i'here is
growing medical
evidence that it may not
be as great as the rest of
society and the medical
profession has long
assumed."
Such changes in
thinking are not un-
common in any field of
science. And this is not to
the discredit " of
physicians who sincerely
wish to give their patients
the best form of treat-
ment possible. No doubt
when they become
convinced that alter-
native treatment is
better, they will say as
did one heart surgeon
interviewed for the
"Star"; "There is an
advantage to doing it that
way (without blood).
Blood is not good for
people. If you can get
along without it that is
great." February 28,
1980, p. A10.
It would seem that the
Creator knew what was
good for people when He
inspired to be written in
His Word: "Abstain from
blood" - Acts 15, verses 20
and 29.
Sincerely,
C.F. Barney
Wow!
Trinity support ethereal?
Just one comment
Dear Editor:
I read with deep
respect your statement in
the May 14 edition of the
Signal -Star as to your
new policy for letters to
the editor and shall abide
by this policy in future.
However,..I felt that I
had to challenge the
constantattacks by the
Jehovah's Witnesses on
the -unadulterated doc-
trines of Holy Writ (The.
Bible). The objections to
the letters, without a
shadow of a doubt, issued
from members of the
Jehovah's Witnesses who
hate exposure. Let the
brief period (compared to
the length of time Barney
wrote) of my replies,
stand as •a witness on its
own merits, and let ybur
readers from their own
Bibles judge if I spoke
truth.
A brief comment on
Mr. Ken Snyder's letter is
-i-rrurdet iter e. Mr. Snyder
quotes a very long
argument" (based on
reason rather than fact)
from Watchtower
publications (these are
not his own thoughts) and
states among other things
that I do not know how the
Witnesses study and how
Or what they Keach.
Well, Mr. Snyder,
here's how: I, Daniel
D'Haene was a "bap-
tized" member of
Jehovah's Witnesses for
over 18 years until I found
salvation in Christ in
1976, I know the ins and
outs of Watchtower
teachings as such, and
that's how I know!
It's rather interesting
how Mr. Snyder should
mention Michael whom
they claim is Jesus
Christ, before he became
flesh!! How's that for
double talk?
Would the real Jesus of
the Watchtower jungle
please stand up?!?!
Sincerely
Daniel D'Haene

Presumptuous
Dear Editor:
Referring to my letter
of April 23.
I think that the first
pdragraph in Mr.
D'Haene's letter of May
15 is entirely visionary
and presumptuous. Who
told him? How does he
know? Why? He .ob-
viously has not read the
book that I mentioned.
The name of the writer is
John Ballow, not Ballon.
The first .page ,would
convince him that I
definitely have a cause
for making the statement
that I made in my letter.
I specifically invited
the Witnesses and Mr.
Barney to make com-
ment. Mr. D'Haene, have
you adopted the name of
Barney, or have you
joined the Witness?
Sincerely,
N.J. Minaker
am sure that it is,
because it was originated
by the Prince of Peace.
Since he chooses to
discuss another
dimension, one has to use
the elements in this
dimension to illustrate as
I did above.
Sincerely,
N.J. Minaker

put into the created order
of things as caretakers
and custodians,
responsible for what we
have and responsible for
its future.
It's too easy for
Christians to think that
these things are in God's
hands arid -we- are -only
be concerned about the
Spirit as though that was
something wholly
otherworldly.
If our response to God's
gift of life to us and to
creation,isnot reflected
in a response -ability to
the world He made, then
our faith is misdirected
and false. And surely
such response begins
where we are, in our
work, our 'worship, our
play and our leisure. It
begins in the care of self,
the community, the
places of recreation, even
the very foundations of a
democratic society
through things political,
educational and social. It
begins with teaching the
new generation, if the old
will not learn, at the level
of 'litter' care.
The Psalmist says:
CREATE IN ME A
CLEAN HEART; 0 GOD,
AND PUT A NEW AND
RIGH' PIRIT WITHIN
ME... a d speaks for and
to us all. A polluted at-
titude to the world about
us;"' -betrays a --polluted
attitude of \mind and
spirit.
It is within reach of us
all to clean up our ac-
t...when we start with
ourselves by responding
to God's gift of Life and
Love, through a renewal
of attitude towards Life,
as exemplified in Jesus.
