Ireland: judge orders baby to be given blood after dramatic court hearing
by behemot ina judge ordered the baby son of a jehovah witness couple to be given a life-saving blood transfusion after a dramatic court hearing in his home in the early hours of the morning.. judge gerard hogan said barristers for temple street children's hospital arrived at his house at 1am on december 27 and argued the desperately ill three-month-old boy needed urgent treatment.. neither the infant nor his parents were identified in the high court judgment, which was published today.. judge hogan ruled that while parents have the constitutional right to raise their children to their own religious and philosophical views, the state has a vital interest in ensuring children are protected.. "but there is absolutely no doubt but that the court can intervene in a case such as this where the child's life, general welfare and other vital interests are at stake," he added.. judge hogan heard that when the baby boy was born in september 2010 he had been a twin, with a sister who did not survive.. on christmas day the infant was suffering from acute bronchiolitis when his condition deteriorated.
at one point he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated.. he was transferred to temple street the following day where his condition became critical.
his liver was distended and by that evening his haemoglobin level plummeted to the point where a transfusion was necessary.. the judge said while the boy's parents were clearly anxious for his welfare and had allowed the use of blood products earlier that day, as committed jehovah witnesses they were steadfast in their opposition to this procedure.. the hospital made contact with the court's duty register at 10pm that night and the high court hearing was swiftly arranged.. consultant dr kevin carson, clinical director of intensive care, argued the youngster's life was in danger and there were no medical alternatives to a transfusion.. the parents were not legally represented at the judge's house, but were aware of the issues as the court had previously sanctioned a blood transfusion for another child of theirs.. judge hogan continued: "there is no doubt as to the sincerity of the religious beliefs of the parents.. "they struck me as wholesome and upright parents who were most anxious for the welfare of their child, yet steadfast in their own religious beliefs.

A judge ordered the baby son of a Jehovah Witness couple to be given a life-saving blood transfusion after a dramatic court hearing in his home in the early hours of the morning.
Judge Gerard Hogan said barristers for Temple Street Children's Hospital arrived at his house at 1am on December 27 and argued the desperately ill three-month-old boy needed urgent treatment.
Neither the infant nor his parents were identified in the High Court judgment, which was published today.
Judge Hogan ruled that while parents have the constitutional right to raise their children to their own religious and philosophical views, the State has a vital interest in ensuring children are protected.
"But there is absolutely no doubt but that the court can intervene in a case such as this where the child's life, general welfare and other vital interests are at stake," he added.
Judge Hogan heard that when the baby boy was born in September 2010 he had been a twin, with a sister who did not survive.
On Christmas Day the infant was suffering from acute bronchiolitis when his condition deteriorated. At one point he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated.
He was transferred to Temple Street the following day where his condition became critical. His liver was distended and by that evening his haemoglobin level plummeted to the point where a transfusion was necessary.
The judge said while the boy's parents were clearly anxious for his welfare and had allowed the use of blood products earlier that day, as committed Jehovah Witnesses they were steadfast in their opposition to this procedure.
The hospital made contact with the court's duty register at 10pm that night and the High Court hearing was swiftly arranged.
Consultant Dr Kevin Carson, clinical director of intensive care, argued the youngster's life was in danger and there were no medical alternatives to a transfusion.
The parents were not legally represented at the judge's house, but were aware of the issues as the court had previously sanctioned a blood transfusion for another child of theirs.
Judge Hogan continued: "There is no doubt as to the sincerity of the religious beliefs of the parents.
"They struck me as wholesome and upright parents who were most anxious for the welfare of their child, yet steadfast in their own religious beliefs. An abhorrence of the administration of a blood transfusion is integral to those beliefs."
Judge Hogan said on conclusion of the hearing at 2.30am, he indicated he would grant the orders sought but would deliver his reasons in open court.
"Given the time constraints, the time of year and the fact that the application had to be heard in the early hours of the morning, I concluded that the most practicable venue for the hearing was in my own private residence," he added.
"In passing, I should also add that a further consideration in that regard was that heavy snowfalls had blanketed the Dublin region, making travel at that time very difficult."

January 4, 2011 (RII-YUBU) - The Governor of Western Equatoria state Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro who was on referendum campaign in all the counties , payams and bomas of the state said, “Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) are traitors for freedom of Southern Sudan.”
- Governor Bakosoro addresses rally in Rii-yubu on December 27, 2010. (ST)
The governor made this remark at Ri-Yubu Payam, Tambura County on his Christmas visit to the payam.
"During the Voters registration for the Southern Sudan’s Referendum, the JWs in Western Equatoria State have refused to register," he revealed.
Bakosoro further said, that "the JWs went ahead to influence other citizens not to take part in the voter’s registration for the historic events."
The JWs vehemently denies any plot to influence others citizens to follow their religious believe "not to participate in any political issues of government."
The same scenario occurred during the April’s general elections.
"As a government, with its own constitution, and law, the Jehovah’s Witnesses churches in the state will remain suspended until consultations are made across South Sudan and the rest of the world," Bakosoro announced.
"We shall consult in America to find out which Bible are JWs are using or do they have different government?" Asked Bakosoro.
Bakosoro called upon all the Commissioners to ensure that the churches remained suspended "until accurate results are got, and decisions will be taken."
Bakosoro lamented that "The referendum is not about an individual, but as a Golden slate which was guaranteed by the 2 million lives lost in the struggle of this Nation, this will determine the future of our grand children."
In related development the Deputy Governor Sapana A.Abuyi received on Tuesday 28th December 2010 a delegation of the Jehovah’s Witnesses from Juba headed by Phillip Paulino.
Speaking to the deputy governor, Paulino stated that "it is against their religion to register or mix with politics."
He asked the deputy governor of the state government to permit the sect "resume their religious activities without precondition."
In response, the deputy governor said, "the state government is not against any church, but it is because the Jehovah’s Witnesses followers continue to preach wrong messages to the local communities of the state with regards to the forthcoming southern Sudan historic votes.”
The deputy governor, who is also the chairperson of the State Referendum Task Force, disclosed that, "the Comprehensive Peace Agreement has made it clear for the Southerners to determine their fate through ballot papers on the 9th of Jan 2011."
Furthermore the governor in one his speeches encouraged the citizens to take the referendum seriously as part of life, calling it as the "final walk to freedom, democracy and prosperity for the people of southern Sudan."
Bakosoro also enlightened the people of Ri- Yubu and entire WES to focus on improved food production to end dependency on Food Aid.
The Catholic Bishop of Tambura Yambio –Diocese, Edwardo Hiboro Kusala amongst the sons of greater Tambura who presided over the holy family mass in Rii-Yubu acknowledged the achievements of the current government.
Addressing the congregation at Ri-Yubu Parish, Hiboro hailed Bakosoro’s government to influence most sons and daughters of the state “to defect back to SPLM,” which he termed as a “achievement.”
Most lost sons and daughters of Western Equatoria who were in different Political parties have all joined their brothers in the South amongst retired Major General Alison Moanane Magaya from the NCP, John Masuwa, Paulino Zizi etc, Charles Kisanga of SpLM –DC and many more, five days back another senior NCP figure Angelo Beda also declared himself out of NCP.
The Bishop called upon the citizens "to join hands to support the current government for the development and effective service delivery to the people of the state".
With only four days remaining the People of Southern Sudan are due to hold a referendum on self determination on either to remain united Sudan or attain an independent South on the 9th of Jan 2011.

For this Christmas Britain is a majority non-religious nation (first time ever)
by behemot inreligion: respecting the minority.
this christmas, for perhaps the first time ever, britain is a majority non-religious nation.
every year, researchers from the british social attitudes survey ask a representative sample of british people whether they regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion and, if so, to which one?

Dear AGuest,
I acknowledge that this survey has all the limits due to the nature of the surveys in general and of the (sensitive) topic surveyed in particular, but it's however revealing of a trend.
Peace to you too,

Religion: respecting the minority
This Christmas, for perhaps the first time ever, Britain is a majority non-religious nation
Every year, researchers from the British Social Attitudes survey ask a representative sample of British people whether they regard themselves as belonging to any particular religion and, if so, to which one? When the survey first asked these questions in 1985, 63% of the respondents answered that they were Christians, compared with 34% who said they had no religion (the rest belonged to non-Christian religions).
Today, a quarter of a century on, there has been a steady and remarkable turnaround. In the latest 2010 BSA report , published earlier this month, only 42% said they were Christians while 51% now say they have no religion. Admittedly, some other surveys – including the last census – have produced different findings on these issues, usually to the advantage of the religious option. There is also a margin of error in all such exercises. All the same, and particularly since the trends in opinion over time seem well set, it is hard not to feel that this latest finding marks a cultural watershed.
This Christmas, for perhaps the first time ever, Britain is a majority non-religious nation. Most of us have probably seen this moment coming, but it is a substantial event nonetheless. It is undoubtedly a development that would have astonished our ancestors who built a Britain on the basis that we were and would remain a predominantly Protestant people. The victory of secularism would have flabbergasted them almost as much as the pope appearing on the BBC with his Thought for the Day.
The change ought certainly to inspire some national reflection, though there is no need for national breast-beating. After all, in most eyes, the BSA survey finding simply underscores things that have already become obvious. Today, our three political parties are led by two open atheists, and a prime minister who admits his faith comes and goes, a development impossible to imagine in other parts of a world, in which the loss of religion is not a uniform trend. The Britain of 50 years ago, in which religion was a far larger part of the social fabric and the national way of life, is a country we have lost.
What is more striking about the survey is how quickly the change has come – just a generation. It is not that long since everything shut on Sundays, since a majority went regularly to church of some sort, since all schoolchildren knew and sang hymns and studied the Bible even if they did not believe in it, and since the idea that public figures could be anything other than observantly Christian would have seemed unthinkable. It would be hard to say, by most yardsticks, that those were better times. They were certainly different ones. The direction of change is likely to continue. We must all get used to it.
None of this is to dismiss the religious or to disparage its institutions, let alone to imply that Christmas is unimportant. For all its secular and commercial excess, Christmas remains a surprisingly serious season, accentuated this year by the bleak weather. But it is to say that sensitive adaptation to the predominantly non-religious era is required on all sides. In many respects, Britain is handling that task quite well. Our national evolution into a less religious society is not without its skids and bumps. If anything, though, it is being managed with greater dignity than our parallel evolution into a less politicised one.
It is no more the place of a newspaper to impose a religious test on its readers than it was right for the British state to impose such tests on its office-holders in the past. In some sense, the protection of respect becomes more important with Christianity's decline. When Anglicanism held unchallenged sway, after all, it was important to assert the rights of those who disagreed with it, whether as Catholics, nonconformists, non-Christians or as atheists. Today, as an era of non-religious ascendancy begins in Britain, the importance of tolerance towards the faiths is not diminishing but increasing.

Judicial Matters and the "Repentance Scale"
by Hangin_on inan elder once said that a key thing they are trying to determine in a judicial committee is if the offender's "repentance level" matches the seriousness of their sin.
for example if they committed fornication that is a serious sin (an 8 or 9).
they want to see the offender showing a repentance level of 8 or 9.

Hanging-on,
although the "repentance scale" does not appear in print in the exact terms the elder said, the elders' manual contains the principle of a repentance "commensurate" to the gravity of the sin:
The extent to which the person deviates from righteousness may be major or minor, and logically the degree of regret (repentance) ought
to be commensurate with the degree of deviation. - KS 2010, Ch. 7, p. 90... an individual may have gone so far into sin that he may not be able to demonstrate sufficient repentance to the judicial committee ... - KS 2010, Ch. 7, p. 91
