Prosecutors Russian city of Murmansk say that a planned series of Jehovah’s Witnesses services in a stadium cannot go ahead, as they contravene a law on the use of sports facilities.

Meanwhile the Public Prosecutor of the small asbestos-mining town of Asbest in Sverdlovsk Region is pressing for a ban on Jehovah’s Witness literature, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. If Asbest Town Court – or any other Russian court – finds Jehovah’s Witness publications extremist, their addition to the Federal List of Extremist Materials would extend a ban on their distribution to the whole of Russia.

Antonie Dixon told so many stories since the evening he attacked two women and shot a man that he is struggling to keep track of all his lies, the Crown told the High Court at Auckland today.

Crown prosecutor Simon Moore today challenged evidence Dixon gave yesterday, including that God had commanded him to decapitate the women, that he saw snipers at the back of an ambulance and he saw a man with horns.

A re-trial is underway in New Zealand of a man accused of hacking two women with a samurai sword and shooting dead a man in a petrol station.

Antonie Dixon told a court today that he had “no part of this world” due to his religious upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness.

The leaders of the Watchtower Society — the legal organization behind the Jehovah’s Witnesses — claim to speak for God.

Leaders of Simental’s congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses contradicted his statements and testified Simental, during the course of their religious inquiry, admitted touching both girls.

Prior to the trial, the case broke new legal ground in California about when statements made to clergy members are deemed confidential, prosecutor Burke Strunsky said.

The Watchtower Society — the organization behind the Jehovah’s Witnesses — wrongly claims that the Bible forbids blood transfusion. That makes it a killer cult whose teachings have resulted in many needless deaths, including that of Bethany Hughes.

While the article focuses on outreach by Jehovah’s Witnesses to Arab speaking people, information in the sidebar points to research resources that document the problematic issues associated with this cult of Christianity.

The parents decided to take the case to court, arguing that their rights were breached on a number of grounds, including that officials proceeded on the “stereotypical and paternalistic presumption that the treating doctor is always right and Jehovah’s Witness parents always wrong,” noted Brenner.

The horrifically-injured Jehovah’s Witness being denied a life-saving blood transfusion technically died in hospital, it was revealed last night.

A family source said: “Sheila is adamant that John must not have blood. She says giving him a transfusion would be like assaulting him, and he wouldn’t want to live knowing he had disobeyed his God.

The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, the organization behind Jehovah’s Witnesses, incorrectly claims the Bible prohibits blood transfusions. Should minor followers of the cult be allowed to refuse a blood transfusion?

Jehovah’s Witnesses blindly follow the errors of the Watchtower organization — even though Bible scholars state it is wrong about blood transfusion and a host of other Bible issues.

It was only when Rachel Underhill was lying in a hospital bed, haemorrhaging, that she first realised the way of the Watchtower might not be for her.

The High Court has ruled that doctors at the Coombe Women’s Hospital in Dublin did not act unlawfully in giving a blood transfusion to one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Doctors said the “ideal management” of the pregnancy would have been for a foetal blood sample to be taken and the unborn children to receive a transfusion in the womb to treat any anaemia. However, that was not possible because of the parents’ beliefs and doctors say the babies will instead have to be delivered prematurely, raising “all the risks associated with pre-term delivery”.
