I think if this women can get $21,000,000 then there should be hope for getting a case against the Watchtower Corporation for it's disfellowshipping policies. You just need a creative intelligent Lawyer to find out the right way to approach this in the courts. A failed case might be a deterrent but to a real legal eagle it might make them just work harder to find a chink in the WT corp. legal armor.

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.

I enjoy your opinion Nate.
I worry about this toads survival, it is good to know that in Canada you can get the purified free base for $160 a gram(cheap) they just need melatonin and a few of chemical steps one can make 5meo cheaply which could save the toads if there is some type of mad rush of people seeking cheap and fast inlightenment.. A lot of rehab (ibogaine) therapies for addictions in Mexico and Canada use 5meo DMT as a follow up treatment a few days after. Ibogaine for shadow work and 5meo for the unity experience.

How Religious Fundamentalism Hijacks The Brain- Psychology Today
by Brokeback Watchtower inhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind-in-the-machine/201810/how-religious-fundamentalism-hijacks-the-brain.
in moderation, religious and spiritual practices can be great for a person’s life and mental well-being.
but religious fundamentalism—which refers to the belief in the absolute authority of a religious text or leaders—is almost never good for an individual.

Brain shrinkage is not a good thing it happens but you want to slow it down to improve the quality of your life, the older you get the harder it gets to change ones thinking especially after many hours listening someone rattle about an invisible deity and what really ticks him off, and you got to warn the wicked or be blood guilty bull shit 5 hours a week to keep up your spiritual strength.

When Ryan and Juliette were informed that their assignment as temporary special pioneers had come to an end, they felt dejected.
Well duh it a temporary assignment, which means it won't last forever(yeah!) How in the world is this on a par with making Bethel you home for a couple of decades and being given the boot with in a few days pack your bags and try to find a place to stay with a roof over your head? Apples and oranges?

It all attitude, I tell ya, attitude!
When Ryan and Juliette were informed that their assignment as temporary special pioneers had come to an end, they felt dejected. “We took this straight to Jehovah in prayer,” Ryan says. “We knew that we had a special opportunity here to display trust in him. Many in our congregation were new in the truth, so we prayed that Jehovah would help us to set an excellent example of faith.”
7 How did Jehovah respond to their prayer? Ryan recalls: “Immediately after the prayer, the negative feelings and worries that we initially experienced disappeared. The peace of God was guarding our hearts and mental powers. We realized that we could continue to be useful to Jehovah if we maintained the right attitude.”
The way things are going it looks like many more will have a special opportunity to display trust in Jehovah as the Watchtower corporation shells out big time for all the harm they brought to children under their care in the courts.
I'm sure their trust in corporate Jehovah will really be stretched out for some to the breaking point up the road ahead. Jehovah's Witnesses active membership looks like it is getting ready to take another nose dive.
And also take a tip from Ryan, prayer can help calm your nerves temporarily,(but no guarantees for lasting relief from jittery nerves is temporary, unless you want to pray every time you get to feeling a little queasy about the whole thing and see how long you will be able to get relief, eventually you got to face the truth that you have been royally screwed by this bunch delusional but sniffing assholes.

I can give them a little credit for at least acknowledging to a small degree that a lot of people have been given the boot after many years at bethel. It's a start.

Simon's Forum Is More Than Just a Forum!
by Atlantis infriends:.
simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.
it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.

I've been on this sight for 18 years and I can say this is the place I go to find out what happening with the Watchtower corporation. I think that is saying something about Simon and his hard work.
I'm sure the Governing Body has visited this site(but only after a lot of prayer to Jehovah their corporation sock puppet) It definitely is a place for people to connect with fellow unbelievers and pass on note worthy information. I raise my glass to Simon.

The downfall of the Governing Body
by john.prestor inin a book i read a while back by the sociologist randall collins he says truly powerful people don't get angry because they get what they want in other ways, and he shows a picture of two runners where the one who's losing looks at the girl that passes her rather than ahead at the finish line, guess she doesn't wanna win the race after all.
i want to apply these to the governing body and their actions, the pattern of their actions, in printing all the hateful rhetoric against people like us and why l'm pretty sure, pretty damn confident in fact, it's all downhill from here... thanks to them and them alone.. the moment you let somebody get in your head and let them stay there they beat you, they win, they establish power, we got in their heads, they know we present a threat to them, we won't shut up, we're more brazen than we used to be, we're in the news, we're on tv, we're online we're at conventions we're in the kingdom halls, hell we're just about everywhere.
yeah, we don't have this completely down yet, sometimes we come on too strong or do something stupid, and i'm pointing the finger at myself here too, but for the most part we know how to fight this battle: we drag them into the light when they wanna hide in the dark like jackals lurking in the woods sneaking up on weak and wounded deer.

I want to say I appreciate all the different view points expressed. It is good to considered other's perspectives on the subject.
I just think from my own perspective which I admit kind of biases me towards their complete and total annihilation as a corporation. I recognize that or leave space for that happening. That being said I don't think the Governing Body in the driver seat of Jehovah's Chariot bodes well for the corporation's financial survival, they have shrunk their brains to make it this far in the cult they are in such denial over their F&DS delusion nobody can snap them out of it, and they project their own evil onto their victims,,, need I go on and on about how stupid these guys are????That being said if they are not removed from power these guys will drive it off a muched deserved financial cliff.
I kind of look at it as a sort of Yin and Yang thing. I should cast some yarrow stalks, I Ching to see what state of change this GB is in but I'm too lazy.
