  court denies summary judgement for laurel jehovah's witnesses congregation.

  a motion for summary judgement is denied in a case against the laurel congregation of jehovah's witnesses and some individuals over child abuse reporting issues.a lawyer for the congregation maintained that elders were exempted from reporting requirements under a state law because of clergy privilege and confidentiality.the case resulted from allegations that elders did not report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were members of the jehovah's witnesses congregation.. download the court opinion here.

  I don't believe any attempt has been successful. LOL.

  Dear reader, that depends on what is meant by "attempt," "other attempt," and successful. If the Court is saying in their opinion that inspite of the reasons stated in their conclusion that they also feel that JW existing settings do not qualify or if that is what they mean by the term "genuine material fact," besides juvenile if such is deemed a basis, they pulled it through to deny the summary judgement based on jw confession setting qualifications.

  juvenile’s subsequent excommunication indicated he might not have willingly met with the elders, and did not consider the meeting as a form of repentance as part of absolution and a “sacramental confession.”

  I think that the only basis here is age. Any other attempts to disqualify JW existing church "confession" settings will be overturned.

  As I posted before, since priests and ministers serve as police proxies and informants, end of religion.

  deemed a “penitent”

  That is a basis. Given 909, penitent and priest qualifications under the provision can be decided by Court. Which means that even if JW could enjoy 909, the penitent priest relationship did not exist because the Court determined that the penitent did not qualify.

  The law CAN and the law DID.

  READ

  Wrong, the basis of the denial is that the Court concluded that genuine issues of material fact exist in-spite of the constitutionality of 909.

  READ

  Any attempts to force JW to change their existing "penitent priest" setting to qualify for a religious confidentiality immunity provision will be overturned in the Higher Court.

  OC and Mephis. You are very smart,. OC Thank you for your funny catholic remarks. You should have have been around when they wrote the US Constitute to the tell them that the purpose of the law is for religious purposes especially catholic and to remind them to put "absolution" in there. They forgot. But thank God for you now to tell Delaware Court and Assembly that JW should not be protect by the constitution and Delaware law because they do not meet catholic requirements set forth in 909 as you see it a. Get a pen and write this down: 909 will be taken down because it is unconstitutional or it will be interpreted to apply to religions in general including JW.

  Write this down too: Any attempts to force JW to change their existing "penitent priest" setting to qualify for a religious confidentiality immunity provision will be overturned in the Higher Court. Sure, the law can mandate child abuse reporting for all religions including JW but the law CANNOT tell JW they do not qualify when confidentiallity is a legal provision to religion.

  Did I do that right Fisherman?

  now we have both salami and boloni from you. 909 provides confidentiality between priest and penitent. That is it. Does Delaware want JW elders to wear costumes and perform rituals and set up kiosks for JWs to confess? I think that I have made my point. You have your view. "Good Luck!"
