Dilemma of Shunning Policy

by Drearyweather in

apologies if this topic has been discussed earlier.. i was thinking of whether demanding for a ban on shunning policy would be beneficial for the larger society.

following are some things that we need to remember while advocating the issue:.

1. shunning is not limited to jw's and for many americans, it is not that controversial as it seems.. 2. jw shunning is not a dark secret policy.

I enjoy these kind of think tanks. Everybody playing all nice and stuff, and so far very few ruffled feathers.

So what type of human right violation in your country could work against a totalitarian mind control cult that masquerades as a religion,, who's primary weapon is "Disfellowshipping" members to keep them under control/ unified thoughts full of religious delusional bullshit, with the main directive: to Listen Obey and be Blessed/cursed a blatant in your face corporate theme song if ever there was one. I do think the Watchtower printing establishment day are number for hiding behind being a religion are numbered as the laws improve.

I really do think we will see the legal system eradicating these old cults one building sale after another to pay off all the laws they violate because they are so in denial of their own flaws and fuck up in more ways than you can imagine.

How to sue the WT over shunning policy. It CAN happen!

by Bad_Wolf in

this 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.

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.

Human rights violations might be a avenue that needs to be explored? Positive negativity will stop thinking, and give up the search.

I'm no legal eagle so I don't know all the laws that apply in my own country, so I can't intelligently comment so I will rely on JC323 critique for any flaws in my comments. I'm sure there is a way, the thing is can somebody find it. This just might be a job for AI.

How about freedom of speech, freedom to contradict or believed differently than the Corporation's ever changing self serving publish currant teachings? That would make for a nice public trial or something.

I wonder what AM#3's corporate Jehovah is thinking about all this and what it's doing to his egocentric name reputation.

O and I think it is good to find the Watchtower corporation weak spots legally what ever they are and dig in. Especially now that they are spread so thin financially and legally in the courts already, strike while the iron is hot as the saying goes, so think, think, think, think.

What are the chances of winning a case in the bible belt south against religious abuse? Probably next to zero. So Tennessee making Christian religion so sacrosanct would definitely be a very up hill battle. Also perhaps they didn't have a very good lawyer.

That's my take on the case, and definitely not touchstone case in law studies.

God can it get any worse for, a end of the world mind control cult in denial of any negative thing said about it over the internet by the whole world. I mean geese can it get any worse??

These guys on the governing body are really out of touch and worried too much about tight pants and beards worn by their devotees.
