It is very telling what Jayden MacEwan, the lawyer for the Highwood congregation, has said in this case:
"Can the court decide who you should be forced or compelled to worship God with? Or is that not more just a purely personal decision?"
What if we rephrased his question and redirected it back at him and the organization:
"Can a JW Judicial Committee decide who you should be forbidden to worship God with, or even to associate with or talk to? Or is that not more just a purely personal decision?"
Blatant, one-sided hypocrisy should be exposed and opposed. Institutional shunning is wrong.
