"...why do lawmakers allow religious law to supersede secular law?"
Historically, authority figures who try and enforce or expand "privacy" laws tend to do so because they themselves have ugly secrets they want to keep quiet.

Do the GB leaders of the JWS make its members delusionaly insane ?
by Finkelstein inthis particular question or evaluation of the people who are participating jws has come up before in debate.
the more one deeply analyzes this the answer usually comes up in the affirmative yes.
when you consider the fact that jws members will abandon their own family, go as far as kill themselves under the direction of these men, it really confirms just how deep the mental and conscious indoctrination these men have gone.. .

LongHairGal - "...I still think the religion is on its way to dwindling down to a very small sect...."
Technically, they've kind of always been a "very small sect"...
...but seriously, yeah, I have a tough time seeing how this would improve their long-term membership and asset fortunes...
...IMO, morphing into an e-religion can't help but further facilitate a decline, simply because a predominantly online presence makes it that much easier for faders, fakers, and fence-sitters to GTFO.

Oh yeah, I get that, and over the years I've given a fair bit of thought to the hows, whys, and whens of it all.
It just still manages to stop me up short sometimes in a "WTF-were-they-thinking" moment.

Despite all the reasons - justifiable or otherwise - that the Org kept wanting to handle this internally, I still occasionally find myself asking, gobsmacked...
..."HOW THE F**K did it never occur to them that this could and would come back and bite them on the ass???"

To whom are the JWS faithfully loyal to Jehovah or the Watchtower Corporation and the men who run it ?
by Finkelstein inan poignant question which might make a few jws a bit uncomfortable.. the words of jesus said that no one knows of the time of his return not the ancient israelites or the first era christians and jesus admonished those who would set a time upon god's own sacred time.. words spoken by jesus that certain men failed to adhere to who self proclaimed preachers of the gospel.. the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation (gb) have said that they were the faith slave to jesus fulfilling his instructions to spread the word of the new system of things.
.
yet over the past 140 years the wts and the men who have been running that organization have been endeavoring false prophets, selling a tainted corrupt version of the gospel through the literature these men published.

Like I've said, this thing has given the WTS the ideal pretext to shift into an "e-religion"; hell, it couldn't be more convenient if it were planned, IMO.
It'd be a massive cost-saving measure, super-easy, and the rank-and-file is now primed for it...
...all the incentives are in place.
Ten bucks says this becomes semi-permanent regardless of the pandemic's outcome.
