I know that some of you can see German TV via satellite and some of you even understand German. Maybe you just want to have a look at the pictures:
Next Wednesday, July 2nd, 23:30h (German time) a 45-min-documentary is being broadcast about JW in Germany trying to get hold of the status of a Public Body in Germany. That meant they get the same priviledges other churches have in Germany. They have been at court since 1990 and even were at the highest German court. They somehow won but the case has been redirected to a lower court to check human rights, how they treat apostates and children.
There are no commercials on ARD so that will be full 45min.

I can't get this channel, and don't speak or understand German, but find the topic interesting. Would you be a dear, and keep us informed after you see the program? Thanks.

German JW, what are the privileges that the other churches have that the WTS wants? Are they impeding their preaching work?

Blondie,
Being able to make visits to hospitals, prisons and schools, deduct the obligatory church tax from their income taxation, run programs for benefitting the elderly or sick, things like that.

To make sure people die from refusing blood, looking for more recruits from people who have nothing better to do and well, they generally don't visit schools.
deduct the obligatory church tax from their income taxation
Of course this isn't the main reason.
run programs for benefitting the elderly or sick, things like that
Yup, that will be when hell freezes over.
