Thank you Diogenesister for the link. What a great video! Indeed...an awesome way to start the 2024 WTBTS calendar...with a unfavorable court ruling.
This cout case WT initiated & lost makes them look like bullies. They'd better think twice about appealing.
I agree JWgoneBad. Sadly they've also had one positive in Brussels, though. Belgium has ruled in favour of their right to shun. I think the court has missed the point that it's not an individual choice. I also think they need to stress the fact that minors and vulnerable adults - such as the mentally ill - are also shunned when DF'd by family not under the same roof (& soft shunned even when they are).
Belgium, like other governments, needs to look at the issue at a parliamentary and legislative level, rather than just sending it off to the courts. One main issue is the pressure on minor children to get baptised and then the shunning that may then follow. If membership, WT style, is not allowed until age 18, then at least the WT's claws are blunted somewhat, while freedom of religion is not being interfered. The rights to vote, drink alcohol and drive are all age dependent.

Fully agree not Former
Thanks for the link and info.
Doubtless the next JW Broadcasting episode will discuss the matter at length, openly revealing everything!
