Dude, are you high, or something?
I think it's more a case of literal "if/then" type of self-analysis run amok. Sort of like Kirk vs Nomad:
the court on the rule of confidentiality of penitential communications and evidentiary privilege--.. decision reads:.
"the law generally protects the confidentiality of communications with clergy like those of kendrick to the elders here.".
"if the person has a constitutional right to independence in making religious choices, the recognition of an evidentiary privilege is an apt means of protecting that autonomy.

"adversly affects church freedom..."
Well..."boo f-ing hoo." Poor churches. Poor catholic diocese getting sued and going bankrupt.
It's the same logic that the NRA uses in the US. After Justice Scalia all but obliterated the "well regulated militia" clause, they feel it as an attack against their 'freedoms' when gun control measures are proposed. What about MY freedom to be able to walk into a Wal-Mart, without running into bubba and his AR-15 slung over his shoulder?
Likewise, what about MY freedom to not have a PEDOPHILE come knocking at my door, when the elders who assigned him that territory know FULL WELL that he has a criminal history of pedophilia.
Deal with it "churches." No one's taking away your freedom of worship. In fact, you're getting quite the tax break. Think about THAT, "fisherboy."

The way you two banter back & forth (vidiot & punk), reminds me of Hawkeye Pierce & Hunnicutt/Trapper from MASH. Funny as hell.
I guess that makes me Col. Blake.
Hmmm, who's our Frank Burns?

Fisherman lives up to HIS name: an overly pedantic, word-twisting troll, who is no doubt a JW, or at least their biggest apologist.
And I thought JWs were to 'imitate Jesus.' Hmmm, I missed the part in the Bible where Jesus referred to others as "idiots." Was it after meeting the Samaratin? The leper? What a way to represent your faith.

Actually the Conti Appellate decision secures Watchtower's Policy.
Certainly, insofar as 'duty to warn' is concerned. Unfortunately for the Watchtower, their negligence for 'lack of field service supervision'...was affirmed.
They have 1 win, and 1 KO.
Point being, that 'Jehovah's organization' doesn't exactly come out of this looking pristine.

If the purpose of the lawsuit is really to use legal proceedings to force WT to change, they failed.
That's rubbish. The GB will not ADMIT the need for change, because they are deluded by their own beliefs. The fact that they haven't changed, only serves to expose their flawed policies for what they are, and opens the door to further lawsuits by those who may have been molested...say, during field service. The GB are shooting themselves in their collective feet.
It's no more of a failure than Neville Chamberlain's declaration of 'peace in our time' in response to Hitler's actions. Well, guess who eventually won the war?

In previous posts, I tried to engage Fish. It's futile, because he merely deflects the topic, and avoids answering questions directly. His legalese is limited to a cut and paste regurgitation of 'factoids.' He seems unable, or unwilling to see the big picture.
This is about the only coherent response I got:
You got me Einstein the sailor man, I was just guessing only because Plaintiffs aimed and simply hit Defendant's big pocketbook

. The one parsing words and threading needles is you
That's hilarious! So Fish says, just before launching into a word-parsing tirade. Classic!
It reminds me of Steve Lett's video where he declares that the WT doesn't ask for money, followed by a lengthy pledge drive.
Hahaha!
