  JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES RENOUNCE ALTERNATIVE MILITARY SERVICE

  In contrast to the previous mobilization, this year no member of the organization “Jehovah’s Witnesses” went to the Gyumri mental hospital for alternative military service. And the two believers, who had gone there in spring of 2004, left the hospital without finishing their service, “Tsayg” TV Company reports. {BR}

  Witnesses of Jehovah Taron from Vanadzor and Sargis from Yerevan were mobilized last year. At the beginning of their service they did not have any complaints of the hospital. Nevertheless, according to the head of the hospital Nadia Vardanyan, about a month ago they applied to them and said that although they are pleased with the work and with the attitude of the doctors towards them, they do not want to continue their service. The reason was that they were against the control of the military police.

  According to Nadia Vardanyan, a criminal case has been aroused and the boys will probably be tried.

  I supose one of the problems of following Jehovah's lawyerly organization is that you never know from minute to minute, exactly WHAT you believe.

  I wonder if these boys know of the WTS's UN affiliation? or their RandCam trust fund?
