This is an examination of the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses and its rendering of the Greek word Proskuneo. The NWT never translates the word into worship when it references Jesus.
A ruptured appendix can be a life-threatening condition. Your large intestine is made up of a several different parts, including your colon, rectum, anal canal, and cecum, which is a small pouch located in your colon. Your appendix is a finger-shaped tube about 4 inches long that's connected to your cecum.
The standard treatment for appendicitis is an appendectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the appendix. But if doctors don't remove the appendix quickly (usually within 24 to 72 hours after symptoms begin), the organ may rupture, or burst. Importantly, the resulting perforated appendix isn't the same thing as if you popped a balloon.
