Don't think they imitated the US Secretary of Defense yet, in requiring a face shield.
'After the disgraceful conduct they had towards our soldiers now the Army has the gall to ask them to come back, (because yes, they desperately need them).'

Ex-Jehovah’s Witness denied surgery after parents refused
By AMANE SHIMAZAKI/ Staff Writer
November 21, 2023 at 17:47 JST
For eight years until he turned 18, a man raised as a third-generation Jehovah's Witness suffered because he couldn't have heart surgery due to his parents' refusal to allow a blood transfusion.
At age 10, he was diagnosed with atrial septal defect, a condition characterized by a hole in the heart, for which a doctor recommended surgery.
During physical education classes at school, he was the only one unable to run among all the students.
“I want to have the surgery if it will make me feel better,” he thought at the time.
The man, now 20, cooperated in a lawyers’ survey documenting abuse among the religious group.
He said when a doctor mentioned that he might need a blood transfusion in the event of an emergency during the surgery, his parents’ expressions changed.
The Jehovah's Witness faith teaches that God prohibits practices such as transfusions of whole blood as a medical treatment.
His parents firmly said, “We will not sign the consent form for a blood transfusion.”
During medical examinations, a follower, called a “medical institution liaison member,” also attended, explaining to the doctor the reasons for refusing blood transfusions, the man said.
His parents instructed him to state his refusal to have a transfusion.
He repeatedly practiced his “lines” in front of the hospital’s examination room. He then recited them exactly to the doctor: “I believe in the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, so I cannot undergo a blood transfusion.”
When he showed reluctance to adhere to the practice, in a show of defiance, his parents whipped him at home for lacking faith.
He was confronted with the harsh reality that doctrine was prioritized over the life of a child.
When he turned 18, the doctor told him that he could undergo surgery based on his own decision. He decided to do so.
He signed the consent form, along with a nurse who acted as a witness.
The surgery was successful, and ultimately, no blood transfusion was needed.
His health improved rapidly after the surgery.
“If only I could have had the surgery earlier. …,” he lamented, which he has long carried in frustration.
He cannot forgive his parents, but he felt even more anger toward the Jehovah's Witness faith, he said.
On Nov. 20, he spoke out during the Diet hearing conducted by the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan.
“I believe that there are many children who are still suffering due to the teachings of the religious group," the man said. “I would like you to extend a helping hand from the outside.”

'On the 9th November ELSA wrote.
I know you want to know. So here is the update from Bittel.tv. There was a personal message from Reiner.
He is doing well, is thankful for all of you for being there.
He has a TV and has now had contact with other prisoners and knows the stories of several of them.
Letters take about 2 weeks to get screened. He gets only 30 a day, and is grateful for each and every one.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
'The accuser—on the right—being used by the European Union and the German government, is Viviane Fischer, a little known attorney, made famous through her association with Reiner Füellmich’s exposure of German and E.U. crimes.
AND THIS IS WHERE THEY ALWAYS CUT A DEAL
I worked on over 400 criminal federal cases and literally wrote the book on such judicial crimes, Justice Denied: the United States v. The People—so I know the drill.
First, the target is identified, second, a crime is fabricated or found, then ‘witnesses’ are groomed to say what needs to be said in court
Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria was known to tell Josef Stalin when he needed some pesky truth teller removed, “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime,” and off to the gulag he or she went.
That is precisely how this still works in America and Europe, which learned a great deal from Stalin and his Soviet Union, unfortunately.
The ‘crime’ used to arrest Reiner Füellmich is an allegation that 1.35 million Euro is missing from a three-person account used to prosecute their cases against the government(s) and pharma companies.
So it seems the prosecutors cut a deal and turned the lovely Viviane against her mentor, putting her on every media outlet they can find to claim that Reiner Füellmich stole money from the cause which he personally founded.
There is just one problem with the case (they never intended to bring to trial) and thanks to some digging, the truth has escaped which will require its dismissal.
The money is still in the account.'

Nov 21, 2023'An overwhelming majority of children of Jehovah’s Witnesses have experienced abuse from their parents, according to a report compiled by a lawyers group.
The report, released Monday, sheds light on the abuse many second-generation Jehovah’s Witnesses have experienced from their parents under rules that were set out by the religion, including forcing the children to refuse blood transfusions regardless of their situation, and corporal punishment.
In the report compiled by the lawyers group supporting former Jehovah’s Witnesses, 81% of respondents said that they were made to own a “blood transfusion refusal card.” Even if a child is going through serious medical treatment, there have been several cases where parents have refused to let their children receive a blood transfusion, the report said.
Jehovah’s Witnesses discourage blood transfusions because they believe that they should not sustain life using another creature's blood. The report says that this constitutes abuse because it directly endangers a child’s life.
The report also showed that over 90% of the respondents had been hit by their parents, or in some cases by religious community leaders, as “punishment” for such things as falling asleep during Jehovah’s Witnesses meetings.
The survey showed that corporal punishment — commonly carried out with hands, a belt or a ruler — would start very early on in life, in some cases even before the child was 3 years old.
Another issue highlighted in the report is how Jehovah’s Witnesses shun those who leave the religious group or go against its teachings. In some extreme cases, former followers have been disowned by their parents.
Developing romantic relationships or friendships is also a struggle for many second-generation Jehovah’s Witnesses, as their parents have often imposed tough restrictions — in many cases the children could only participate in school activities in a limited way.
The lawyers group submitted the report to the Children and Families Agency on Monday, requesting the government to further investigate the possibility of child abuse within the religious community.
Upon receiving the report, agency chief Ayuko Kato commented that “child abuse cannot be justified even if there is religious belief behind it.”
The report compiled survey responses from over 581 former and current members, with these given via the internet in May and June. This followed the government’s release of a guideline late last year that stated that the imposition of a religion may be considered child abuse, prompting many former second-generation Jehovah’s Witnesses to come forward about their experiences.
“We have not engaged in any form of child abuse and the report is just based on opinions of some people who have negative feelings toward the group,” a representative from the Jehovah’s Witnesses was quoted by NHK as saying about the survey.
The experience of second-generation religious followers has been under the spotlight in Japan following the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last year. The man suspected of shooting Abe held a grudge against the Unification Church and believed the former prime minister had connections to it.'
