I believe this signals the beginning of the eventual dismantling of this evil policy and practice.
I doubt it. Brainwashing is stronger than law. Fear of death is enough to make parents and children shun each other.

83Judge Bans Shunning
by Farkel intoday i spoke with a former jw i've been in touch with for several years and discovered what i think could be a major bombshell for the wts.
as we all know, shunning is the most powerful weapon the wt cult has over its members and for decades the wts has been able to get away with practicing it at their whim.
the us and other courts have permitted them to to use it, even though it destroys families and has ruined countless lives.

Am I oversimplifying?
by Gig ini'm fairly new here but regularly i read posts that recognize the significant lack of love among jw's.
would i be speaking too simply to say that since god is love... they just haven't truly accepted him into their hearts rendering them incapable of exibiting pure christian love in their lives?.
love isn't something we do for him, it's something he does through us.

Actually Carl Sagan NEVER said, "BILLIONS & BILLIONS" on Cosmos. That is something Johnny Carson said when impersonating him.
Carl references this in his last book entitled "Billions and Billions". The final chapter of the book is written all about his discovery of his disease and his final months of life.
Damn I miss him...I have read every one of his books and I wish he was here to write some more!!!
