The WTBTS Lawyer's main defense is that the 1st Amendment protects their religious freedom from being placed under judicial scrutiny. Yet the Organization has no problem mandating that Elders form judicial hearings that trample on the religious rights of those who disagree with WTBTS doctrine at any given time.
Hypocrisy, much?? Perhaps our resident WTBTS defenders can chime in? I wouldn't be surprised if the plead the 5th on this issue.

Thank you Barbara & Joe. Those whose lives have in one way or another been negatively impacted by 'Mother' find it so productive, rewarding and fulfilling knowing there are good & decent folks like you fighting for their cause.
I know you've made my day!:):)
That's a very good report, accurate and factual, yet also hits the heart. I hope this continues to get the media exposure it deserves.
It sickens me to think of how I used to blindly follow such an unjust cult. And the WT policy is still wrong, wrong, wrong.
That was a seriously good read. I wish every JW could read it but they won't. Maybe someone better versed in law could answer this for me, though. In the article, it said that Losch was given a subpoena but he straight up refused to appear in court. I thought a person could be held in contempt and fined/put in jail. Is this different for civil cases?
They claim to obey the law unless it conflicts with God's law in the Bible. How does appearing before court or handing over documents conflict with the bible? answer: it doesn't
Thankful for this. I've shared it everywhere possible.

There arguing the first amendment successfully to get away with their evil.
The Watchtower’s frequent defense – that such cases violate protections under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment – has led to the dismissal of several lawsuits. Watchtower lawyers argue that judicial questioning of the spiritual beliefs and practices of Jehovah’s Witnesses would trample the organization’s religious freedoms.
This is just sick and goes to show they really do think they and their policies are above the law. These assholes need to be arrested and throne in prison for this crap. Pure evil!!!!!!!
Barrold Bonds - Maybe someone better versed in law could answer this for me, though. In the article, it said that Losch was given a subpoena but he straight up refused to appear in court. I thought a person could be held in contempt and fined/put in jail. Is this different for civil cases?
Why take Gerrit Losch from institution where he serves as a "slave" and a prisoner of the Watchtower and stick him in another institution? Doesn't help the victim. Awarding the victim $13.5 million sends a clearer message.
