In March, the criminal court of Ghent, Belgium fined the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW) for “inciting discrimination and hatred or violence against former members.” The case centered on the JW practice of “disfellowshipping.” While the court’s sensitivity to the individual impact of shunning is laudable, its decision regrettably assaults the freedoms of religion and association.
First, some background on JW beliefs and disfellowshipping. JW was founded in the United States over a century ago and is headquartered in New York state. This Christian movement proclaims that the end times began in 1914. Given the impending end of the world, JW teaches followers to hold themselves apart from churches and politics, instead ordering their lives pursuant to JW biblical interpretations. JW disciplines its eight million members accordingly. The congregation shuns, or disfellowships, those deemed insufficiently obedient. Once this happens, “no one is allowed to talk to you, not even your own family. They declare that this person must be avoided because they have a mental illness that is contagious.” JWs “physically turn away” from the shunned.
While the court’s sensitivity to the individual impact of shunning is laudable, its decision regrettably assaults the freedoms of religion and association.
This practice seriously impacts those subjected to it. One advocate for disfellowshipped former JWs told the BBC that she never met a shunned believer “who has not experienced depression, alcoholism, suicidal feelings or self-harm.” One such man, a Belgian named Patrick Haeck, responded to his pain by turning to a secular criminal court. Mr. Haeck had been a JW for 35 years and served as an elder. He was disfellowshipped after exposing sexual abuse. Following his judicial complaint, the court conducted a five-year investigation. The inquiry gathered other former JWs and brought criminal charges against the entire JW congregation for inciting discrimination, hatred, and violence.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) has published its report on child protection in religious and organised settings. It rightly draws attention to the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation, according to Alan Collins, one of the best known and experienced abuse lawyers.
IICSA found children are not adequately protected from the risk of child sexual abuse in the Jehovah’s Witness organisation and the evidence demonstrates that it fails to adequately address child sex abuse allegations.
Commenting on today’s report, Alan Collins, Head of the Hugh James Abuse team said:
The Jehovah’s Witness organisation relies on outdated policies and practices to respond to allegations of child sexual abuse which were not subject to ongoing and continuous review and are compromised by attempting to ensure that all that it does is rooted to scripture and bible interpretations.
What is of concern is the organisation’s retention and continued application of policies, such as the two-witness rule in cases of child sexual abuse - which must be considered as showing a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse.

Holy smoke: London site of Jehovah’s Witness HQ to be movie studios.
ByRobert DexArts Correspondent
The former UK headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation is to be transformed into a huge film studio in an attempt to meet the massive demand from firms wanting to film in the capital.
The 200,000 sq ft site in Mill Hill was home to the religious group for decades and also housed the printing plant for its Watchtower magazine and the leaflets handed out at Tubes and in door-to-door visits.
It has been taken on by Purpose which specialises in building flexible workspaces and who will transform it into London North Studios.
It is part of a surge in demand for studio space in the capital with broadcast giants like Netflix attempting to meet increased demand for shows powered by a rise in viewing during lockdown.
