As for the Jeohva's Witnesses, that is always happening. In Italy there are legal precedents which allow doctors to treat children in danger of their lives without the consent of parents, but wrenching tragedies still happen. (the J'sWs are one of the largest religious minorities in Italy, and the one with the most native Italian converts.)
Saving a life? I helped a guy who had been ruined by the Scientologists, and I am confident that without me around he would have starved to death.
Lawsuit? Against SOAS, my former college in London. Ended inconclusively, but basically I won.
Eclipse? As I recall it, it was 1997 in Britain. I was a little outside the real area of darkness, but you could feel the light go a nasty shade of bluish dark, and the air get cold.
