Another victory in the Brazilian courts.

[Pionner_who]

It was recently disclosed that a judge in São Paulo ruled in favor of the organization and annulled the request of a former Jehovah's Witness. In this request, the former member sought to have his elders' committee annulled by the Brazilian judiciary. The judge was clear in stating that it is not up to the courts to interfere with the decisions of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

According to the judge himself:

"At this point, it is necessary to clarify something, as there seems to be some confusion in the plaintiff's petitions: if any believer were allowed to alter the faith precepts of religious associations, there would be no religious freedom at all. On the contrary, there would be an authority granted to that particular believer, to the detriment of all others. The plaintiff seems to confuse his freedom of belief with the ability to impose his belief on other Jehovah’s Witnesses, which is entirely inappropriate and unconstitutional."

The ruling was made in March 2022, but today it was confirmed that no further appeals will be allowed. Another victory for our God, Jehovah!

Thanks, Nathan.

That's so obvious I don't even understand why his lawyer didn't talk him out of litigating for it.

Separation of state and church is a principle of democracy. Judges cannot decide on religious matters.
