Nah. Obviously wt has admitted they were wrong in the past so what is the difference at present. But verbalizing beliefs that go against teaching to the elders can get a person marked.

Would I be disfellowshiped for this?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inif a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.
my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.
the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

Noted: Brilliant and funny analysts.
When are they going to stop liking putting people in jail or enforcing restraining orders to separate law breakers (based on secular standards) from children and their families and from society. People are so funny.
Bet petrodollars to donuts that a reversal is looming or the European Court will act similarly. Democratic governments have no jurisdiction telling religion how to adjudicate sin.Mormon, Jews, the Catholic church also practice excommunication. A club member can’t go around breaking rules without consequences from the club and then go to government to force the club to take them back because the club should not enforce their own beliefs and practices as the JW put it before the Canadian Supreme Court decided in JW favor.

Now, people must… or face prosecution
NOW it’s illegal all of a sudden. Finally, what a relief. Funny how everybody got angry at people not reporting when it was perfectly legal to do so and not at the government. People are so funny.

Taking away benefits that have no impact on their freedom to practice doesn't seem like tyranny.
How is that the same as jail or restraining orders?Noted

The court won't force the JWs to end the shunning practice, will they? They are taking away some benefits
Not the same heh? Seems like tyranny. How about ending jail and restraining orders between family members. What do you like? To punish jw vindictively.

Comparing a kangaroo court with a Family Court of the real world is not sensible
If you aren’t able to comprehend that the comparison is not to method of adjudicating but to jail and orders of protection to DF separates family members, have a nice day to you. You seem to like Family Court but you don’t like JW religious process of sin. Up to you.

unless, - unless, they are also a Jehovah’s Witness?
You miss the whole point. You want to force JW because that’s what you like or you want to abolish family Courts and force family members to like each other and talk to each other when you like it because you like it? -

The religious community shuns members when they leave the group
So do Family Courts with orders of protection and jail.
While the government may guarantee free morality and pursuit of happiness that is not the belief and practice of a religious community who may wants a family member to stop or change a moral path allowed by the government. Not being a JW a father may not want a son to use druxs or live a amoral lifestyle. The gov protects a person’s right to be free but a parent wants his son to be happy and to be healthy and to prosper. He won’t tolerate conduct that he believes is devastating to his child. The group lives by a moral code and allowing conduct outside the morality harms the offender and the group. The group should not be forced by the gov to tolerate conduct outside beliefs and practices of the group. Free to live however you like but it offends and hurts the group and the father wants the son to live a different life.

Deaf Aotearoa flooded with complaints about Jehovah's Witness church
by OrphanCrow indeaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.
the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.
" she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.

in uk anyway due to Data Protection laws .
Yeah. If it is illegal in UK, JW cannot do that anymore. In the US it is legal. I can’t see why it should not be legal to collect information. It is being done all of the time by different entities so why target JW unless it is a pretext to get back at them.
