  and listen to the deafening roar of silence.

  within that silence, feel yourself slip into the hidden waters of the self, perched between the darkened banks and the effervescent consciousness that sleeps just below the liquid surface.

  feel the coolness masage your temples, and move in rythmm with your slow and steady heartbeat.

  Father cannot introduce new evidence in Bethany Hughes case, court rules

  By Daryl Slade, Calgary Herald May 25, 2009 Be the first to post a comment

  CALGARY - Lawrence Hughes will not be able to present new evidence on behalf of his daughter Bethany's estate in the case looking into her death, a provincial court has ruled.

  Hughes has been trying to prove his daughter's death was caused partly by conflicting legal or medical advice from lawyers and members of the religious group Watchtower Society, which represents the Jehovah's Witness faith in Canada.

  The Alberta Court of Appeal concluded, however - in a written decision released on Monday - that there was no error by the chambers judge who made the original decision to exclude new evidence last year.

  Bethany Hughes, who died Sept. 5, 2002, from acute myeloid leukemia, became the centre of a medical and legal battle over whether she should receive blood transfusions.

  Following the church's teachings, Bethany refused the blood and became a temporary ward of the province. She died about four months later despite being given 80 transfusions against her will.

  In Monday's ruling, the province's top court also dismissed counter claims by the Watchtower Society and its lawyers, David Gnam and Shane Brady, that they be removed from Hughes' wrongful death lawsuit.

  The court decision said it found "some evidence of involvement of Brady and Gnam in the medical events after Bethany left the Alberta Children's Hospital," which led to the court's choice to reject the counter claims.

  Despite not being able to introduce new evidence, Hughes called the decision "a victory."

  "I see this as a win," Hughes said outside court. "The court has accepted throughout that the lawyer-priests, Gnam and Brady, are employees of the Watchtower Society.

  "This judgment decided that they have to answer for their actions in preventing Bethany from getting the best medical care. I couldn't prove that the lawyer-priests conflict of interest caused her death, but that doesn't mean there was no conflict

  of interest."

  The court did allow appeals by church members Merrill Morrell and Thomm Bokor to have their names removed from the statement of claim.

  The scaled-down claim will now go back before a case management judge as it moves toward a trial.

  after reading two consecutive posts about people returning to the fold, i have to ask a question... on some level, be it conscious or otherwise, have world events of the past year caused some to reconsider that we are in the "end times"?.

  Okay, was going more for the psychological conditioning aspect of things, but take it in whatever direction you'd like!

  This is just my humble opinion... but you are conditioned to look for "signs" that the end is near, and although it's a bunch of rubbish, on some level, I would imagine that any kind of world calamity would be cause for concern...
