ABC4: Chad Daybell may testify in Lori Vallow hearing"Newly-filed court documents reveal new details in the case of two missing Idaho siblings. The husband of these children's mother may be called to take the stand.
According to East Idaho News, Chad Daybell may be called to testify at Lori Vallow's next hearing.
Prosecutors say under Idaho rules, Daybell cannot claim husband and wife privilege. That means the information the couple shared with each other is not confidential.
Vallow is charged in the disappearance of her two children 7-year-old Joshua "JJ" Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan. The children have not been seen since September 2019."
Obituary: Hansadutta das (1941-2020)
"Hansadutta Swami (also known as Hansadutta Dasa, born as Hans Kary; May 27, 1941, Braunschweig, Germany - April 25, 2020, California) was a Hare Krishna guru and one of the senior disciples of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada."" ... In 1980, Hansadutta was arrested for possession of illegal weapons. On July 8, 1983, the Governing Body Commission of ISKCON passed a resolution demoting Hansadutta from sannyasa and taking away his responsibilities in ISKCON."" ... In 1997, Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc. and ISKCON of California, Inc. initiated legal action against Hansadutta, seeking court declaration that Bhaktivedanta Swami's Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (California, 1972) was not a legal entity and/or Hansadutta was not a legal trustee of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. On November 13, 1998, Hansadutta agreed to a stipulated court settlement that effectively terminated any claims he might have had to being a trustee of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust conditional upon receipt of an undisclosed cash settlement and license to publish the original, unrevised books of Bhaktivedanta Swami."
Oxygen: Deadly Cults
After three obedient followers die during an intense sweat lodge ceremony put on by a prominent self-help guru, police must determine if their deaths were accidental, or if the guru pushed the participants too far.
"When a Bisbee man told his Mormon bishop he was sexually abusing his own 5-year-old daughter, the bishop provided counseling. He involved the man's wife in the sessions, apparently hoping that knowledge of her husband's activities would prompt her to keep their children safe.What the bishop didn't do was report the abuse to police. He didn't have to. Although Arizona law classifies clergy, as well as many others, as mandatory reporters of child abuse, there is an exception for clergy to not report if they believe it is "reasonable and necessary within the concepts of the religion."The bishop's counseling sessions apparently had little effect. The man continued to molest his daughter, and later, after her birth in 2015, his infant daughter. He made videos of the encounters and posted them on pornographic websites, which were eventually discovered by Interpol, reported to his employer, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and led to criminal charges."
NY Jews who inform authorities about prayer services held despite virus rules face harassment, threats, as community shuns outside intervention."Jacob Kornbluh was walking past his synagogue in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park on Passover when he noticed a light on inside the building. Knowing that the synagogue had been closed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, he looked inside and saw approximately 40 people praying."I said to myself this can't be true," said Kornbluh, a political reporter for Jewish Insider and a member of the ultra-Orthodox community. "I know for a fact that this shul was ordered to be closed and the main door was locked."After the holiday, Kornbluh filed a complaint with New York City's social distancing complaint hotline and a few days later posted a video to Twitter that has been deleted of himself confronting a man leaving the same synagogue before Shabbat.The video would land Kornbluh's name and face on a "pashkevil," a flyer commonly posted in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods to spread information. This particular pashkevil was posted online and labeled Kornbluh and two others "mosrim," informers who betray fellow Jews to secular authorities. Some who shared the flyer on Twitter even quoted the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who wrote that it's permissible to kill a moser."
