Bahamas: JWs versus National Insurance Board legal battle
by behemot injehovah's witnesses in nib battle.
by krystel rolle ~ guardian staff reporter ~ [email protected]:.
in a dispute that stretches back nearly two decades, the attorney representing a group of jehovah's witnesses made a final attempt yesterday to convince the court of appeal to overturn a supreme court decision which requires his clients to continue to make national insurance contributions.. attorney w. p. cathcart, who represents glen alexander colebrooke and the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses of the bahamas, laid out several reasons yesterday why the appellate court justices should do so.. the jehovah's witnesses are appealing the entire ruling of justice stephen isaacs, who dismissed their application for a review of a national insurance board's (nib) decision that requires 28 witnesses to make the contributions for a small monthly stipend that they receive.. members of the faith are not paid for service in the congregations, however, full-time branch workers like colebrooke and traveling representatives get a modest monthly allowance.. nib has said that this arrangement constitutes a contract of employment and the funds must be taxed.

Medicine, religion clash at Bronx hospital: Patient's family members are JWs
by behemot ina bronx woman with internal bleeding was on the verge of death, and doctors wanted to save her with a transfusion.. the only problem was the incapacitated patient's family wouldn't allow it because they are jehovah's witnesses who believe her fate is in god's hands.. the clash of modern medicine and religion led doctors at st. barnabas hospital to rush into court for an emergency order - granted tuesday by judge faviola soto.. "the attending physician felt it was urgent that if she didn't get a transfusion, she would die," said st. barnabas spokesman steven clark.
"hopefully, the patient will be okay now.".
the patient, jean leslie, 55, is a stroke victim who had been living in the st. barnabas nursing home since 2008.. she was admitted to the hospital on may 21 when doctors noticed a problem with some blood tests, according to court papers.
