There was a new appointment at court for the WTS in Germany again in the case that lasts for 14 years by now: the JW want to get recognition as a public corporation. (BTW, in the 60s they said this status is against their beliefs.)
Now, the judge suggested that the JW are granted the status but they have to denie some of the benefits like having church taxes collected by the authorities and no public status for their ministers. (Such a status of a "minor public body" does not exist in German law.)
Looking forward towards next year (maybe March) when they have to either settle the issue or get a decision by the court.

GermanXJW,
Fourteen years and Jehovah STILL hasn't solved that problem for them yet? Wow!
