Despite mother's wishes, judge orders transfusions for ailing premature boy
SHURLEY
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-TRACI
A Pulaski County judge, at the request of officials at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, ordered this week that a premature baby boy in their care be given blood transfusions despite the objection of the child's mother.
According to an affidavit filed by a University Hospital doctor, the woman, who gave birth March 10, told doctors she would not consent to the transfusions. The doctor states that he is aware the woman is a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses and she has chosen to withhold the transfusions "because of her faith."
Citing Arkansas Code 20-9-604, Circuit Judge Willard Proctor Jr. ordered Wednesday that the transfusions be given. The boy was in serious condition Thursday afternoon, University Hospital spokesman Jerri Jackson said.
"Fortunately, we don't have to do it that regularly. I think the last time was in 1998," UAMS attorney Rhonda Thornton said of the emergency petition. "We were literally knocking on doors and were luckily able to find Judge Proctor."
The baby was born at University Hospital in Little Rock after just 26 weeks of gestation. He weighed 1 pound, 12 ounces at birth.
The mother could not be reached Thursday for comment.
In an affidavit filed with the petition, Whit Hall, the boy's doctor, says the boy suffers from a lung disease that requires his blood be drawn in order to monitor blood gases. He needs transfusions to replace the blood being drawn, Hall said in the affidavit.
He wrote: "I am aware that his mother is a Jehovah's Witness and objects to a blood transfusion for any purpose. I have explained to her the serious danger of withholding necessary blood transfusions, but because of her faith, she is not willing to consent."
Pat Fink, an elder at the Jehovah's Witnesses' Kingdom Hall in Texarkana, said the mother doesn't currently attend his church, but has in the past.
Fink said Jehovah's Witnesses base their objection to blood transfusion on Acts 15:29 in the Bible's New Testament.
"Blood is considered sacred," Fink said. "It's something that's been taught through the Bible since the time of Noah."
Fink said doctors across the country have become more willing in recent years to conform to the wishes of Jehovah's Witnesses and explore options besides transfusions. The church provides assistance for members who request legal aid in defending their decision, Fink said.
Thornton said Arkansas Code 20-9-604 allows consent for medical treatment to be given in an emergency like the boy's need for a transfusion. The law allows a circuit judge or chancellor to grant an order for necessary medical treatment or procedures in three situations. Those involve:
A pregnant female in her third trimester of pregnancy.
A parent of a minor child if the court finds that the life or health of the parent is essential to the minor child.
A person of insufficient age or mental capacity to understand or appreciate the nature of the proposed surgical or medical treatment and the probable consequences of refusal of the treatment.
The order that Proctor signed Wednesday said: "Although the parent has an interest in all decisions concerning the religious upbringing of their baby, the state has an interest in the preservation of life of the infant, and in this case the state's interest in preserving the life of the infant outweighs the interests of the parent in practicing her religion."
Thornton said the woman will be notified of Proctor's order and can request a hearing.
Fink said Wednesday he thinks the woman should have been allowed to appear before Proctor before the decision about how to treat the infant was made.
"In all fairness it really should be something that the judge should be able to hear what her spiritual beliefs are," Fink said.

Giveaway newspapers set date for court collision over Montreal subway ride
ALLAN SWIFT
MONTREAL (CP) - Quebecor Inc. will have to continue distributing its free newspaper to commuters outside Montreal subway property until at least May 7 when the company gets to argue in court that it has the right to operate inside.
Lawyers for Quebecor and G.T.C. Transcontinental, which has an exclusive agreement with the city transit commission for inside distribution rights, met Wednesday to exchange documents and have a judge set the date to hear the case.
Transcontinental, a printing and publishing company, and its partner Metro International of Sweden, began distributing their 24-page newspaper on March 1.
Quebecor, whose Sun Media unit owns a free commuter tabloid in Toronto, began its Montreal version this week to protect the market share of its regular tabloid daily Le Journal de Montreal, the preferred subway newspaper.
However, subway security guards prevented Quebecor distributors from going inside.
Lawyer Michel Sylvestre said Quebecor will base its arguments on press-freedom provisions in the Quebec and Canadian charters of rights.
"Freedom of the press includes the right to distribute the press," Sylvestre said outside court Wednesday.
He said the Charter of Rights overrides commercial agreements.
Transcontinental lawyer Marc Andre Blanchard, said the transit commission has the right to manage events on its property, just as it allocates spaces for musical buskers.
"Otherwise Jehovah's Witnesses and communists and everybody will be down there passing out literature," he said.
The transit commission will get a minimum $900,000 in the first three years of the deal with Transcontinental, said spokeswoman Odile Paradis. If the deal is renewed for up to 10 years, it will get a minimum of $5 million.
In addition, Transcontinental had to pledge $188,000 to pay for cleanup.
Owners of subway kiosks also went to court Wednesday to get the transit corporation to cancel its agreement with the publishers of Metro, saying it cuts into their business. That case was also put off to a future date.
Paradis said circulation of paid-for papers has held fast in the 19 other cities where Metro International publishes commuter papers.
"Metro is more like a radio news bulletin," Paradis said. "It doesn't replace a daily paper."
A three-way battle of free newspapers which began last year in Toronto this week will come down to two, as Torstar Corp. and Metro International agreed this week to merge their free papers into one, competing with Toronto Sun's FYI.

JW`s will find their attempts at house to house work severly impeded in the rural county of Somerset, England.
Unfortunately for Somerset, this is secular law - so who cares....
This afternoon I was driving back home to Weston super Mare along the A370. As I approached the town I noticed barriers being erected across the junctions to the `B` roads which lead into the countryside. Across the barriers are signs which read: "Foot and Mouth disease. Infected area. Do not enter."
Outside the Kingdom Halls there should be a sign: "Foot in the Mouth disease. Infected area. Do not enter."
When this is said, the sickness ravaging England these days are terrible, and there is great fear it might have spread far. France is hit - and Norway closed the borders for all import of meet from EU and EFTA countries yesterday. 14 days in the first place - but who knows. I think that depends on what happens in France. If the Foot and Mouth disease hits in France the way it did in England - I'm afraid all hell is loose:(

Hi Silentlambs
When you post newspaper articles, would you please post a link - if the material is awailable online? If it's just in the printed edition, it would be nice to be informed of that fact. Also, for my site, there would be nice with a photocopy to add to the story when I post it on the Watchtower Observer.
This story IS posted there now, but I'd love a reference to the original article. Not for me - but for the readers:))

Knorr and the Masonic Temple
What went wrong with the masons?
In 1950 they were in favour with the org but by the 70's they were part of B the G.
Who decided and when.
"Presidential Visit to Northern South America"
VENEZUELA
"Here again another grand reception was accorded Brother Morgan and Brother Knorr. There were about fifty present at the airport. Children carried bouquets of flowers, and a newspaper photographer was there to take a picture, which appeared in the paper the next day, giving notice of the arrival of the speaker who would talk on "Liberty to the Captives", at the Masonic Temple
Another thing that made the local brethren happy was that the newspaper Panorama del Diario published another picture of Brother Knorr, along with his interpreter, speaking at the Masonic Temple."
(One assumes they paid for this facility)
G74 10/8/28
"However, in time their experience caused them to think about Jehovah's witnesses. This was because the conduct of the Witnesses impressed them. The man and his wife even told friends and neighbors that they would like to become Jehovah's witnesses, saying: "They all seem so wholesome and so well versed in the Bible." Later, they gladly accepted the offer to study the Bible with Jehovah's witnesses. On the basis of increased Bible knowledge, the man, despite his being a thirty-second degree Mason, severed his connections with the Masonic Lodge and she with the Order of the Eastern Star"
YB71 PP114-115
"One brother reports that he started a study with a man who was a member of the Masonic Lodge. However, he showed deep interest in study of the Bible, and after just four months of study he wrote the following letter to the secretary of the Lodge:....
"This is the reason for my request to be taken off the list of members of the Masonic Lodge. From now on I am one of Jehovah's witnesses and I will be attending the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses in order to study more deeply the Bible and be able to bring this knowledge to persons seeking the truth. Yours truly."
Now this man, along with his wife and two daughters, has left Babylon the Great and is preparing to be baptized.
WT 97 12/15/10
"My studies helped me to see that Jehovah God detests any involvement with spiritism because it can bring one under the influence of Satan and his wicked spirit forces. Would I continue as a member of the Masonic Lodge with all its mysticism, or would I quit and please Jehovah? I chose the latter. I destroyed all the Freemason paraphernalia I had, even the suit I used for Lodge meetings."
So no more presedential talks in masonic lodges I suppose
