No, my sister would never pursue legal action. The baby started vomiting blood and when they finally did take him to the hospital he needed a transfusion to which they refused of course. The official cause of death was very vague.

My sister is an anti vaxxer. She had a baby (at home) and took him to the chiropractor instead of a medical dr. The baby died at 4 days old.

Comparison of Jan 14 and 15 days texts
by helpmeout ini couldn’t help but notice the juxtaposition of the day text for jan 14 and 15. the first is about following the disfellowshipping decree, the second is about showing compassion.
i ask you, “if an active jw were to miss following both of these texts, which one would they most likely be counseled on?”.

Direct conflict in th website...
jw.org faq on shunning
What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah’s Witnesses? The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.
daily text Jan 14
Despite our pain of heart, we must avoid normal contact with a dis- fellowshipped family member by telephone, text messages, letters, e-mails, or social media.
Define “normal”

Did you actually read the bible end to end?
by Ultimate Axiom inin my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.
i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.
well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.

I feel more inspired to read it end to end now then I ever did as a witness. Though I have never done it. I have 9 different visions in my house. I would struggle picking a translation that hasn’t been twisted with an agenda.

How to sue the WT over shunning policy. It CAN happen!
by Bad_Wolf inthis is a very good document from a law school exploring religious freedom vs an individuals right to religious freedom without blackmail, pressure, etc, and also explores why certain lawsuits did not win and what it would take to win them.
https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=3827&context=penn_law_review.
a person born in, and whose parents or family pressured to shun because they simply left the religion, who has evidence of damages, etc, would likely have a good case if they find a good lawyer.

If there was a class action lawsuit against the orginization I would sign my name up, but this is not something I would peruse on my own.. maybe it’s laziness, maybe it is some crazy sense of loyalty to my own brainwashed family, this to me seems more like a power in numbers thing. For the record I do not agree with the shunning doctrine and it is distrucrive for individuals and families. It just seems like an uphill battle that would dig a lot of emotions and pain out of the closet.. while I do like to read articles and keep up with the exjw “news” so to speak, I really do feel like I have moved on with my life. My family was a part of my life, and now they are not. Like an old job I have no ill will towards.
