Well...in a way, the "court opinion" does speak for the 'whole world'. That is how our legal system works
No it doesn't. It only applies to Delaware law. The reason the Judgement was denied was not because the related law (909) did not apply to JW but because the Court found "genuine issues of material fact" regardless of what 909 literally means or potentially can mean.

It is axiomatic that context of this discussion is the posted Court "OPINION" not the whole world.

So the Court is wrong because they say the WTBTS has the right to use the Clergy/Penitent privilege,
That is what you are saying. DD "You are not reading."

Elders for the WTBTS are not acting within the law by using the Clergy/penitent privilege. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM. -DD
You mean the Court is wrong because that is what they decided in their "Opinion". They get to decide, and they determined that IT DOES APPLY TO THEM.
My post correctly represents the Court's decision.

The JW do not have clergy...or is that doublespeak too?
What term do you like to tell the Court to use to describe JW elders acting in their appointed capacity? Choose whatever term you like. But in-spite of what you like, the related law protects JW.
so... bro flodin puts poison onto the first loaf of bread and says that this pictures someone "sinning against the holy spirit".
he then puts the bread into the trash can stating that jehovah completely discards anyone "sinning against the holy spirit"... meaning they cannot ever be forgiven...he says that the pharisees "sinned against the holy spirit" because they denied indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit displayed by jesus... therefore jehovah would completely discard them... no way back for them.. fast forward a little... we have the bible character stephen...acts 6:8 says: now stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.so stephen was showing indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit.now we come to the bible character paul (saul)... he was a pharisee.paul would have seen stephen in action... witnessing the indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit first hand!yet paul not only waged war against all christians but he personally approved the killing (stoning) of stephen.according to the bread illustration paul should have been discarded by jehovah at this point for "sinning against the holy spirit"... he would have been put in the trash can... no way back at all...but what happened according to the bible?
jesus appeared to him on the road to damascus... he became one of the most zealous apostles in bible history with jehovah's full support!so what on earth is the bread illustration all about?
According to the bread illustration Paul should indeed have been discarded by Jah
Take it up with Jehovah who forgave Paul and condemned the Pharisees to Gehena; And learn to listen. The video states at the very beginning that it is God that reads the hearts. Really, it does.
