FRANCE: Le témoignage de l’Association cultuelle les Témoins de Jéhovah de France à l’OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting Warsaw, 2-13 October 2006 Critique pertinente effectuée par l’association controversée CAP pour la liberté de conscience Cliquez ci-dessous pour pouvoir par vous-mêmes voir quelques anomalies de la Commission parlementaire sur les sectes : http://www.coordiap.com/Document/Anomalies%20d%27une%20Commission%20parlementaire.pdf TAJIKISTAN’S BILL ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS CURTAILS POLITICAL OPPOSITION By Erica Marat Tuesday, October 24, 2006 Tajikistan’s new bill on religious freedoms threatens to become the most rigid and illiberal regulation of its type in Central Asia. Developed in January 2006, “On Freedoms of Confessions and Religious Organizations” restricts religious education for children, curbs women’s rights to practice religious traditions, and increases the required number of congregants for registration of mosques. The bill also hints at an increasingly authoritarian style of politics practiced by Tajik President Imomali Rahmonov, who, for all practical purposes, has already secured his victory in the presidential elections scheduled for November 6. Finally, the bill would allow the Rahmonov government to rely more on local law-enforcement agencies in controlling religious leaders. The bill has not been presented to parliament yet, but it has already provoked heated debates about its implications among both the population and political forces. According to a report on religious freedom in Tajikistan prepared by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (BDHRL), the Tajik government often confuses the notion of a secular state with non-religiosity, and therefore infringes upon the basic religious rights of its citizens. One possible reason for Rahmonov’s wish to limit religious practices among the population is his fear of a new generation of religiously extremist youth who have little memory of the civil war between the secular government and the Islamic opposition in 1992-97. According to Tajik Minister of Education Abdujabbor Rahmonov, today Tajikistan faces a shortage of approximately 700 schools and 9,000 teachers (Asia-Plus, October 4). Lacking education and employment prospects, the younger generations represent a potential breeding ground for aggressive popular demands and could one day lead to a revolt against Rahmonov’s regime. The BDHRL estimates that about 97% of the Tajik population identifies themselves as Muslim, while only 5-10% of the urban and 30-40% of the rural population practices religious traditions on a regular basis. The Tajik public is rather anxious about the spread of Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HUT), an illegal religious movement active in Central Asia. Some Tajik experts claim that unemployment and poverty along Tajikistan’s periphery compel local youth to enter underground religious networks. However, according to one Tajik representative from an international organization, religious sentiments often avert drug addiction among the Tajik population, despite the fact that Tajikistan is the leading transit country for illegal Afghan drugs. Instead of coping with the problem of religious extremism at the grassroots level by preventing corruption in the agricultural and education sectors, President Rahmonov has often been condemned for using accusations of religious extremism in persecuting unwanted political actors. According to the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, 99 people were arrested in 2005 on accusations of HUT membership. There have also been incidents when the Tajik police patrolled in front of mosques and religious schools. The government also imposes strict restrictions on people wishing to travel to Mecca. As with other Soviet successor states, Tajikistan became attractive territory for various sectarian movements in the 1990s. Among them, Baptists, Roman Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Korean Protestants, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Lutherans, Hare Krishnas, and Baha’ist are registered in Tajikistan (state.gov, November 8, 2005). Since Tajikistan’s ethnic Russian population is small, there are only about 230,000 representatives of the Christian denominations, mainly Russian Orthodoxy. Representative of these and other confessions regularly encounter government pressure. In the political domain, restrictions on religious freedoms also influence the activities of Tajikistan’s Islamic Renaissance Party (IRP), the only legal religious political party in the Central Asian region. If the bill on religious freedom is passed, the party will be limited in its ability to incorporate religious sentiments into its own political agenda and its more conservative members will be further marginalized. The government has repeatedly accused the IRP of having HUT followers among its members. The IRP, the second-most popular political party in the country, has refused to participate in the upcoming presidential elections. Consequently, the party seems to be slowly moving toward functioning as a coalition partner for the president’s People’s Democratic Party, rather than being in the opposition. Meanwhile, there are five officially registered presidential candidates. All five assure that democracy and fairness will triumph in the upcoming elections, despite the fact that only Rahmonov’s political campaign is noticeable throughout the country. The other four candidates, although each being allotted 30 minutes of broadcast time on national radio and TV, have not rushed to seize the opportunity to promote themselves (see EDM, October 5). Although the bill on religion received negative criticism from the international community and especially the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, it is likely to be endorsed after the presidential elections. KAZAKHSTAN: More limits to religious freedom planned? Changes to Kazakhstan’s Anti-terrorism Law are being planned later in 2006 by the KNB secret police, officials have told Forum 18 News Service. “These changes are not going to affect believers,” a senior KNB officer, Askar Amerkhanov, told Forum 18, supported by a Justice Ministry official from the Religious Affairs Committee. Human rights activists, such as Ninel Fokina of the Almaty Helsinki Committeee, as well as some religious communities are sceptical. Changes to the Religion Law are also being planned, to be presented in 2007, and it is possible that these may – despite official assurances to the contrary – ban sharing beliefs and missionary activity. “Fortunately for us, the KNB secret police sometimes let things slip, and then deny what they said. However, in our experience there have not yet been any cases where these ‘slips of the tongue’ have not been proved correct,” Ninel Fokina told Forum 18. Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee (KNB) secret police is preparing changes to the Anti-terrorism Law, “but these changes are not going to affect believers,” Askar Amerkhanov, Deputy Chief of Staff of the KNB’s Anti-terrorist Centre has told Forum 18 News Service. This, however, contradicts remarks Amerkhanov made to the news agency Kazakhstan Today on 15 September. At that time, he was reported as saying that a draft law would come before parliament before the end of 2006 and that it would tackle the so-called destructive sects and organisations, the activity of which is banned in a number of countries because they “exert a destructive influence on people’s personalities,” he claimed. According to Amerkhanov in September, those targeted by the draft law would include the Korean Grace Protestant church and the Jehovah’s Witnesses. This report “simply distorted my views,” Amerkhanov told Forum 18 on 23 October. He went on to state that the Kazakh Supreme Court has not found the Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Grace Church to be destructive organisations or terrorist groups. Agreeing with Amerkhanov’s latest comments on these religious communities, Amanbek Mukhashev, Deputy Head of the Justice Ministry’s Religious Affairs Committee told Forum 18 that “Neither the Jehovah’s Witnesses nor the Grace Church is a destructive organisation. There are 12 international organisations that have been recognised as destructive entities – such as Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and other such organisations.” Speaking to Forum 18 on 23 October, Mukhashev stated that “there are no Christian organisations on that list. Kazakhstan is a law-governed state and only the court can decide whether an organisation is a destructive sect.” Mukhashev also said that he did not know anything about preparations for changes and additions to the Anti-terrorism Law, though he admitted that in 2007 Kazakhstan’s parliament will be drawing up amendments to the Religion Law. “The need to modernise the Religion Law arose long ago, but I do not think the deputies will introduce an article into the law that will ban missionary activity and proselytism,” said Mukhashev. A Protestant source who preferred not to be named told Forum 18 of suspicions that the additions to be introduced into the Religion Law will ban sharing beliefs and missionary activity in Kazakhstan. In 2005, Kazakhstan introduced drastic legal religious freedom restrictions in “extremism” and “national security” legal changes (see the F18News religious freedom survey at http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=701). The assurances of the KNB’s Amerkhanov were greeted with scepticism by the head of the Almaty Helsinki Committee, Ninel Fokina. “We know who to believe!” she told Forum 18 on 23 October. “Fortunately for us, the KNB secret police sometimes let things slip, and then deny what they said. However, in our experience there have not yet been any cases where these ‘slips of the tongue’ have not been proved correct. We will not find out what the KNB has thought up until its amendments to the “anti-terrorism” law reach parliament,” she said. Aleksandr Klyushev, chairman of the Association of Religious Organisations, told Forum 18 that he was “very anxious” about the proposed additions to the Anti-terrorism Law. “Clearly, the proposed amendments will put Protestant churches in a very difficult position,” he told Forum 18 from Astana on 20 October. “We have head about Amerkhanov’s statement, and of course it has made us very concerned. However, at least so far, we do not have any problems with the authorities,” Fedor Zhitnikov, head of the Jehovah’s Witness community in Kazakhstan, told Forum 18. Overall, it seems clear that the situation of the Protestant religious minority, along with other religious minorities, is deteriorating (see F18News 8 September 2006 ). Franz Tiessen, head of the Kazakh Baptist Union, told Forum 18 that not only Council of Churches Baptist congregations, who refuse on principle to register with the state in former Soviet states, but also some member congregations of his Union face fines after being unable to get local registration (see F18News 9 June 2006 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=797). “Officials keep saying they want us to register our congregations, but in some places officials just drag their feet,” Tiessen told Forum 18 on 16 October. “Some have been waiting for half a year or more. We’re not against registration.” He said this was a particular problem for small congregations, especially in southern regions, including Jambyl [Zhambyl] and Chimkent [Shymkent] regions. He said that “about four or five” church members have each been fined about 13,000 or 20,000 Kazakhs Tenges (680 or 1,000 Norwegian Kroner, 80 or 125 Euros, or 100 or 150 US Dollars) in 2006, because their congregations were functioning without registration. Average monthly salaries have been estimated to be roughly equivalent to 31,500 Tenge (1,600 Norwegian Kroner, 200 Euros, or 260 US Dollars). Zhambyl, Chimkent and Atyrau regions are blackspots for registering Protestant churches, a Protestant pastor who preferred not to be named told Forum 18. He said one Pentecostal church in Chimkent finally got registration as a branch of a church in Almaty in spring 2006, two and a half years after first applying. “If they see the pastor has a Kazakh name there are always problems,” he told Forum 18 (see F18News 14 July 2006 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=812). The pastor described the pressure on Protestants especially in these regions as “persecution”. “Those who adopt Christianity are under strong pressure, both from relatives and from officials,” he said. ‘Testigos de Jehová’ organizan en Chile una multitudinaria reunión de sordomudos La Convención la realizarán en el Salón de Asambleas de Puente Alto.Los días 15 a 17 de diciembre los Testigos de Jehová de realizarán una convención para personas sordas completamente en Lenguaje de Señas Chileno (LSCH) y sin interpretación. A esta asistirán sordos y oyentes de todo Chile y tratarán diversos temas de la Biblia. El tema central de esta convención será “¡Nuestra liberación se acerca!”. Un rasgo interesante de esta reunión, será la presentación de una película hecha completamente en LSCH basada en la una historia bíblica y sin ropa. Ésta no es la primera vez que este grupo religioso muestra su interés por las personas sordas. Desde hace unos tres años que realizan este tipo de reuniones, unas tres veces por año. Anteriormente a eso interpretaban en otras de similares características, pero donde el programa era hablado. Es sabido que los testigos de Jehová distribuyen ediciones de libros y revistas en DVD para sordos. Lo interesante de esto es que no son versiones con sistema Closed Caption, sino enteramente en hechas en lenguaje de señas chileno (ver aquí). Para mayor información, puede comunicarse con los testigos al siguiente número telefónico (56-2) 428 2600 o a la Casilla 267, Puente Alto.
FRANCE – A police trade union defends Jehovah’s Witnesses against ‘anti-cult’ deputy Jean-Pierre Brard CFTC Press Release (23.07.2006)/ HRWF Int. (23.10.2006) – Website: http://www.hrwf.org – Email: info@hrwf.net – The Communist deputy and mayor of Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), Jean-Pierre Brard, made an aggressive statement about the leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, on July 20, 2006, on TF1, calling them “perfect delinquents”, while the mayor of Lens (62) wanted to ban their assembly which is taking place this weekend at the Bollaert stadium in Lens (Pas-de-Calais). On July 23, 2006, the secretary general of the trade union Action Police CFTC, Michel Thooris, issued the following press release: “Jehovah’s Witnesses are citizens who respect the laws of the Republic. No criteria in their daily life can be used to label them “a cult”, thinks Michel Thooris, secretary general of the trade union Action Police CFTC (French Confederation of the Christian Workers). They do not disturb public order. They work, they pay taxes, they contribute to the economical development of our country and make donations to charities. The mixing of these people of all races and origins who gather peacefully is encouraging. As far as we can go back in the past, we have never seen a quarrel or a dispute that would have justified our intervention. If everybody was a Jehovah’s Witness, we, policemen, would be unemployed. We have some difficulties in understanding the controversy concerning the gathering of Jehovah’s Witnesses at the Bollaert stadium in Lens (62). Banning such a peaceful meeting is a serious breach of freedom of worship and of the 1901 Law on associations. It is an open door to religious vote-catching gimmick and a case of inequality of treatment between the three main monotheist religions in France: Jews, Christians and Muslims. It is in contradiction with the republican principle of equality. Tomorrow, according to some personal political agenda, people of this or that religious movement will not be allowed to gather together. This is unacceptable. While Christians are massacred in Darfur, in general indifference, some try to ban a Christian religion in France.” Michel Thooris, secretary general of the trade union Action Police CFTC Querelles autour du statut des Témoins de Jéhovah Les Témoins de Jéhovah sont-ils une religion à part entière ou doivent-ils être considérés comme une secte ? L’administration a fait son choix. Pour Didier Leschi, chef du bureau central des cultes au ministère de l’intérieur, “en l’état actuel de la jurisprudence, ils ont le droit de bénéficier du statut d’association cultuelle”. Ce statut, défini par la loi de 1905 de séparation des Eglises et de l’Etat, donne droit à un certain nombre d’avantages fiscaux. A l’inverse, la commission d’enquête parlementaire sur les sectes et les mineurs, présidée par le député Georges Fenech (UMP, Rhône), considère que les Témoins de Jéhovah sont une secte et que des enfants y sont victimes de “maltraitance psychologique”. Le chef du bureau des cultes se retranche derrière la jurisprudence du Conseil d’Etat. Au cours de ces dix dernières années, les préfectures ont refusé d’accorder le statut d’association cultuelle aux associations de Témoins de Jéhovah. Or, les tribunaux administratifs ont constamment donné raison à ceux-ci. Dans deux arrêts du 23 juin 2000, le Conseil d’Etat a reconnu implicitement le statut cultuel de deux associations locales des Témoins de Jéhovah à Clamecy (Nièvre) et à Riom (Puy-de-Dôme), estimant qu’elles pouvaient bénéficier de l’exonération de la taxe foncière pour les lieux de culte consentie aux associations cultuelles, puisqu’aucun acte délictueux ne pouvait leur être reproché. En effet, selon la jurisprudence administrative, une association peut être reconnue comme cultuelle à deux conditions : qu’elle ait pour objet exclusif l’exercice du culte et qu’elle ne porte pas atteinte à l’ordre public. Les principaux reproches adressés aux Témoins de Jéhovah concernent leur refus de la transfusion sanguine. Or, le bureau des cultes rappelle que, dans un arrêt du 16 août 2002, le Conseil d’Etat a estimé que “le refus de recevoir une transfusion sanguine constitue l’exercice d’une liberté fondamentale”. Il s’appuie aussi sur les dispositions de la loi Kouchner du 4 mars 2002 sur le droit des malades. “Le consentement du mineur ou du majeur sous tutelle doit être systématiquement recherché s’il est apte à exprimer sa volonté et à participer à la décision”, dit ce texte. “LIBERTÉ DE CONSCIENCE” Le refus de la transfusion sanguine ne soulèverait donc plus de difficultés en termes juridiques, selon le bureau des cultes. Depuis peu, la Caisse d’assurance-vieillesse, invalidité, et maladie des cultes (Cavimac), qui assure notamment la couverture sociale des prêtres catholiques, a accepté d’assurer 700 ministres du culte des Témoins de Jéhovah. Le chef du bureau des cultes a eu l’occasion d’exprimer le point de vue de l’administration, mardi 17 octobre, devant la commission parlementaire. Son intervention a provoqué des réactions très vives. “Nous sommes atterrés, a réagi Martine David (PS, Rhône). Vous donnez le sentiment d’être imperméable aux témoignages des anciens adeptes et à la maltraitance psychologique des enfants.” “On ne m’a jamais avancé de dossiers précis sur des cas de maltraitance chez les Témoins de Jéhovah au cours de ces dernières années”, a répondu M. Leschi. “Dans ce que vous dites, j’entends une reconnaissance officielle des Témoins de Jéhovah, s’est indigné M. Fenech. Vous êtes en train de nous dire que cette organisation est devenue la cinquième religion de France !” Quant au député Alain Gest (UMP, Somme), il a reproché au chef du bureau des cultes, qui disait ne pas devoir porter de jugement sur les croyances, de “mettre sur le même plan les religions et les sectes”. Dans son exposé, M. Leschi s’en est pris à la Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires (Miviludes), l’accusant d’”approximation”. “Le ministère de l’intérieur est parfois accusé de sous-estimer le trouble à l’ordre public que généreraient ‘par nature’ certains mouvements, focalisant ainsi l’attention de la Miviludes, a-t-il expliqué. Je veux parler de mouvements qui, pour certains, ont des décennies, voire des siècles d’existence et sont issus de grands courants spirituels ou s’y rattachent, comme les Frères de Plymouth (un groupe fondamentaliste protestant), les Témoins de Jéhovah, et, depuis quelques mois, les Loubavitch, qui sont l’expression d’une vieille tradition du hassidisme juif. (…) Je crains fort que cette stigmatisation (…) ne constitue à terme des troubles à l’ordre public, ou pour le moins des manifestations d’intolérance à l’égard de l’une des libertés les plus fondamentales de tout homme et de tout citoyen : la liberté de conscience.” Xavier Ternisien Realizan asamblea testigos de Jehová Jesús García López Los testigos de Jehová efectuaron antier, como cada año, su asamblea de distrito en el Domo de la Feria. Durante tres días, asistieron más de 15 mil personas de diferentes municipios de Guanajuato y Jalisco. “El evento es de carácter bíblico y está enfocado a la familia; hay pláticas de cómo podemos ayudar a los hijos. Esta es nuestra tercer asamblea aquí en León y nos han recibido muy bien; las personas y las autoridades municipales nos han dado todas las facilidades para la realización del evento”, aseguró Domingo Contreras. Informó que cada día, de los tres que duró el evento, recibieron aproximadamente 5 mil personas. Bautizan nuevos miembros En promedio, cada año alrededor de cien personas son bautizadas como testigos de Jehová. El sábado en el Domo de la Feria, más de un centenar de leoneses fueron convertidos a esta religión. “Las personas se cambian de religión porque en los testigos de Jehová encuentran un mensaje de consuelo. Fueron bautizados 120 nuevos miembros en sencilla ceremonia de ordenación, ellos ven el bautismo como uno de los requisitos divinos para la salvación”, dijo Contreras. As Testemunhas de Jeova sao voluntarias e constroem seus proprios Saloes de Assembleia, Saloes do Reino, e alem disso, prestam ajuda humanitaria, reformando e reconstruindo casasde muitas pessoas que foram devastadas em epocas de catastrofes Este Drama foi feito por atores surdos Testemunhas de Jeova que usam a Lingua de Sinais Americana (ASL) Satanás deve ter ficado furioso por causa de acontecimentos espirituais em Filipos, pois atividades demoníacas locais levaram à prisão de Paulo e Silas. (Atos 16:16-24) Subitamente, um terremoto fez com que se abrissem todas as portas e soltou todos os grilhões à medida que os ferros se desprendiam das vigas ou das paredes. O carcereiro temia sofrer a pena de morte pela fuga de seus prisioneiros. Estava em vias de se suicidar, quando Paulo bradou: “Não te faças dano, pois estamos todos aqui!” Trazendo Paulo e Silas para fora, o carcereiro perguntou como poderia ser salvo. “Crê no Senhor Jesus”, foi a resposta. Ao ouvir a palavra de Jeová, ‘ele e os seus foram batizados sem demora’. Que alegria isso provocou! Focus on bloodless surgery By Janaka Perera – Asian Tribune Blood conservation and transfusion alternatives have become increasingly important in health care worldwide. Concerns about blood safety, periodic blood shortages, liability issues and consumer demand for are drawing attention to transfusion alternatives and bloodless surgery, according to the International Society of Hematology. After the worldwide AIDS epidemic cast the spotlight on blood in the 1980s, efforts to eliminate its unseen threats intensified. The refusal of blood products by patients has led to greater awareness of blood conservation strategies. Increased awareness of the risks of transfusion including communicable diseases such as HIV has resulted in greater numbers of patients not accepting blood for non-religious reasons, while Jehovah’s witnesses refuse blood transfusions on religious grounds. We know the case of a leading Sri Lankan doctor who died of after a contaminated blood transfusion following injuries she received in a motor accident. Similar cases were having been reported from other countries too. Peter Carolan, Senior Officer of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies say: “Absolute guarantees on blood supplies can never be given.” He adds, “There will always be new infections for which at the moment there is no test.” Collecting blood samples from the wrong patient, mislabeling samples and requesting blood for the wrong patient cost the lives of at least 440 people in the USA between 1995 and 2001, according to the Awake magazine August 2006. Blood brings oxygen, nutrients and defensive help to our body cells and carries away junk such as toxic carbon dioxide, the contents of damaged and dying cells and other waste. And non one can guarantee that all of the junk in blood has been identified and removed before it given to someone else. Says Dr. Prasad Krishnan of Apollo Hospital, Colombo, one of the few Cardiac Surgeons who have performed bloodless surgery in Sri Lanka: “Giving someone else’s blood has a certain risk for transmission of diseases although we have tests to check so many of the known diseases – there is still a small chance that something can be transmitted. There are also allergic reactions that can happen because our body always considers anything that is not our own as foreign and fights with it – that is nature’s way.” While bloodless heart surgery eliminates the risks of blood transfusion; it does make cardiac surgery, especially in children complicated and difficult, due to the obligatory hemodilution of cardiopulmonary bypass. As The Royal College of Surgeons of England notes, bloodless surgery requires a co-coordinated multidisciplinary approach. Senior surgical, unaesthetic and theatre staff is expected to discuss cases in advance, and the skill mix and number of support staff need to be modified to facilitate blood conservation strategies. Dr. Krishnan stresses the need for the doctor to be confident in performing and the patient to be aware of the risks bloodless heart surgery. If properly done, the results are most gratifying. “Basically when you have to operate inside the heart you have to stop it. When you have to stop the heart blood has to be kept continuously flowing to ensure that the rest of the body is alive.” “In other words the surgeon must take over the heart’s functions to keep the blood flowing. Normally the right side of the heart gets blood without oxygen, which it pumps to the lungs, the blood takes up oxygen from the lungs and comes to the left side of the heart which than pumps the blood to the body. The surgeon has to take this blood before it comes to the heart, add oxygen to the blood outside the body and pump it back to the body.” “All forming a fluid filled closed loop circuit; so the body continues to get oxygen. At that point the doctor has to stop the heart and cut it open to do the operation, inside the heart (e.g. like closing a hole). When you have to connect a patient to a heart lung machine for the operation the tubing and everything in the machine has to be filled with fluid – not with air- because when blood comes you cannot have air bubbles in the system. When the blood mixes with this fluid it gets diluted. In blood you get hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. That is why blood is red. We need a certain level of hemoglobin to carry oxygen. You cannot dilute blood as much as you want and expect the patient to stay alive. So we have to be able to minimize the dilution. We are talking about operating inside the heart NOT on the coronary arteries, which are on the surface of the heart. The latter can sometimes be done without stopping the heart. He emphasizes: “These are the requirements for the operation, which is a very difficult in little children who have a smaller blood volume in their body resulting in a higher dilution, after connecting to the heart-lung machine. It leaves very little margin for error. Consequences can be very grave since this is a matter of life and death. In the case of other organs you can live without them functioning – without an eye or without a limb or with one kidney. But without a heart you have no chance of living at all.” Dr. Krishnan further says: “When the patient is put on a heart lung machine you have to insert pipes (cannulae) into the major blood vessels in the body. Even if you make a needle hole blood will flow profusely – because there is a large volume of blood flowing in these pipes sometimes at high pressure. So putting these cannulae and every little step has to be done meticulously – perfectly – leaving no room for errors. The quickness in which you do the surgery is vital – because the longer you do surgery the leakage of blood from within the blood vessels into the body. In the event of leakage you need more and more volume of blood, which means you, has to keep on adding fluid, which is will result in more dilution of blood. So it is important to do the surgery correctly and quickly. Very stringent conditions have to be met if bloodless heart surgery is to be successful, especially in children. You have no margin for error.” According to him, side effects of not giving blood occur if the patient ends up losing too much of blood or the blood ends up getting diluted too much. So surgeons make sure that the problem is avoided. In the case of hole in the heart he notes: “When you have a hole in the heart you have too much blood flowing in your lungs. The pressure of the lung starts to go up and progressively keep increasing with age. And it reaches a certain point where you need that hole to be alive. If you close the hole you die because the pressure of the lung are is so high that the heart cannot pump all the blood through the lungs. If you are beyond that stage you die early. And closer you are to that stage the greater the risk in closing the hole.” At Apollo Hospital Colombo, bloodless surgery was performed successfully on two children – five years and 13 years- suffering from this disease. The 5 year old had a tumor inside the heart that was obstructing the flow of blood and had to be removed. The 13 year old had a large hole in the heart, that had produced a very severe increase in the lung blood pressure, and she was told to be inoperable. After detailed tests at Apollo Hospital , we found she may still have a chance and after explaining the higher risk involved to the parents, she underwent closure of the hole successfully. Both the operations were performed without any blood transfusion whatsoever. There is an increasing international recognition that one of the aims of good clinical care is to avoid blood transfusion wherever possible. - Asian Tribune – Volunteers build church in three days BRUNSWICK – Rain over the weekend delayed work on the new church located on a hill off Cooksboro Road, but hundreds of volunteers were still slated to complete the project by Sunday evening – only three days after starting construction. http://www.troyrecord.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17364218&BRD=1170&PAG=461&dept_id=7021&rfi=6 Polish Catholics warned against talking to Jehovah’s Witnesses Warsaw, 10 October (ENI)–Roman Catholics in Poland have been warned against conversing with Jehovah’s Witnesses, a religious movement which has spread rapidly in the country since the collapse of communist rule 17 years ago. “It is important to be aware who we are talking to – members of a non-Christian community who do not recognise the dogmas of Holy Trinity or Incarnation and propose a false path to life and salvation,” the church’s Poznan archdiocese said. The Jehovah’s Witnesses were founded in the United States in 1872 and since then have spread around the world, grouped in an association called the Watchtower Society. The movement’s authorised information site (www.jw-media.org) says Jehovah’s Witnesses are “members of a worldwide Christian religion” who “base their beliefs solely on the principles found in the Holy Bible and view first-century Christianity as their model”.
