I know Canadian law and U.S. law are different but here is how I see it under U.S. law.
The WTS and elders will claim ecclesiatical priviledge when they are asked to provide information regarding church matters.
These elders want privacy protection allowed by laws but are unwilling to provide SOL representation or even have an onlooker present. They claim this is not a court of law, therefore no representation by a lawyer is necessary. Is not a person in Canada allowed legal counsel when questioned by the police? He is in the U.S. They will ask the courts for protection when they are harmed but if we go to the courts and ask for the same protection, the courts are told by WT LEGAL to stay out of because of seperation of church and state.
The real irony is one of these dweebs tells SOL that he will get in lots of trouble and not to mess with them. Did anyone see the text on the wall? "We will obey God as ruler, rather than men".
SOL - If they threaten to charge you with something, please ask them "Does charging me with a crime prove your faith in Jehovah to correct matters or does it show your lack of faith in the scriptures? James 1:2-3 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, knowing as you do, that this tested quality of your faith works out endurance."
