  high court grants hospital permission to give blood to jehovah's witness childfriday, october 21, 2011 - 05:50 pm.

  the high court has granted a dublin maternity hospital orders allowing it to perform, if required, an emergency blood transfusion to the unborn child of a jehovah's witnesses couple who is at risk of being delivered prematurely.

  today the court heard the child's mother, who is approximately 26 weeks pregnant, presented to the coombe maternity hospital in recent days with a spontaneous premature ruptured membrane.. .

  Everyone knows its customary for courts to temporary put the welfare of children first and command a blood transfusion. I guess at heart witnesses are glad for this cause it relieves them for the responsibility, yet they have done what they can do in upholding their religious convictions, whatever misplaces they might be.

  Well, I feel not like judging another fellow human being.

  Perhaps he has the guts to follow his own path even amid a strict system.

  he also translated the Ethiopian holy book of Kebra Galast, the holy book of the Ethíophians.

  See following link on an interview with him and the translation and its contents.

  Quite strange in a way, cause a lot of its contents is contrary to JW beliefs. Still he contributes in spreading them to a wider audience.

  In fact I remember that newspaper item. Also, in 1972, he was granted audience to appear before the King having the title of preacher/publisher attached to his name.

  So, possible san, it might not have been possible in Japan, but it is in Norway.

  It is a well known fact among JWs in Norway that Rolf Furuli is an academic. He has been interviewed on TV, given interviews as a JW representative in newspapers etc... so he is definitely a rather high profile witness in Norway.
