Back to the original topic...the Judge.

OK, he has his convictions. I can't fault him for having them (regardless of whether I agree or not).

BUT...let's put forth a hypothetical situation. If a family that follow the Jehovah's Witnesses has a kid that dies because he didn't get the medical treatment he could have used, would this judge find for or against them if brought up with charges?

Really a catch-22 for him, isn't it?

What about a death penalty case? I may be mistaken, but the commandment doesn't have any conditional pieces - Thou Shalt Not Kill.

At this point, he's damned if does, damned if he doesn't (figuratively speaking, of course. laugh )
