This is what stood out to me.
It is averred that disfellowshipping is a part of the Scripturally based internal religious procedures of Jehovah’s Witnesses which does not involve the determination of any private or public law rights and is therefore non- justiciable before a secular court.
Let that sink in a bit.

Sure, "disfellowshipping" is perfectly legal.
Ostracizing a disfellowshipped family member, to the point where his or her life and/or emotional well-being are placed at serious risk, though?
Morally and ethically negligent, at the very least.
I guarantee you that if/when an XJW actually dies as a direct result of DF-related shunning, the Org is culpable, whether the law protects their right to "shun" or not.
