and see how McCabe, Watch Tower attorney, is lying !
"McCabe said he started visiting Bulgaria in 1994, with Witnesses losing a case to be registered as a religion on grounds "we didn't believe in the Trinity." (Jehovah's Witnesses consider Jesus the first-born son of God and the second highest personage in the universe.) The situation was so tense, he recalled, that a member of Bulgaria's Parliament "stood up and said she wished she had a Kalasknikov to shoot all" Witnesses. Since then, he said, the government made a settlement with European courts and changed its law on conscientious objection.
James Richardson, director of judicial studies at the University of Nevada in Reno, said Bulgaria eventually cooperated because of its interest in being accepted by the European community. "It was actually one of the important cases the European Court of Human Rights has decided."
McCabe is hiding the real reason for the "Bulgarian compromise" : blood and sanctions on JW accepting transfusions.
It's a pity my English is not good enough to write to Newsday.com and to denounce this lie !
Hope somebody will do it !
