Expulsión y familia · Claim record

La postura pública actual de la organización es que a las personas expulsadas se las trata 'with respect' (con respeto), que son 'welcome to attend our religious services, where he may be greeted' (bienvenidas a asistir a nuestros servicios religiosos, donde se las puede saludar), que pueden pedir ayuda a los ancianos, y que el cónyuge y los hijos pequeños de una persona expulsada que viven en la misma casa conservan 'normal family affections and dealings' (el afecto y el trato familiar normales); las preguntas frecuentes no abordan el caso de los parientes que viven en otro domicilio, y aplican el texto de 2 Juan sobre no saludar solo a quienes 'actively try to undermine' (intentan activamente socavar) la congregación.

jw.org, Frequently Asked Questions, “How Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Treat Those Who Used to Belong to Their Religion?”

18 de septiembre de 2026 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“So we do not socialize with someone who has been removed. However, we do not ignore him completely. We treat him with respect. He is welcome to attend our religious services, where he may be greeted by Jehovah’s Witnesses. He may also request spiritual assistance from the elders.”

Current official statement. Also: 'we reach out' to those who 'slowed down or stopped'; 'The elders simply announce to the congregation that the person is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses'; spouse and young children in the same house keep 'normal family affections and dealings'; footnote b on terminology; footnote d applies 2 John 9-11 to those who 'actively try to undermine' the congregation. Says nothing about relatives outside the household. Quotes the High Court of England and Wales (7 June 2019) and former ECtHR judge Pinto de Albuquerque.

29 de abril de 2026 · paras 4, 39-45, 94-102, 110-127, 149-152, 227-230 · Norges Høyesterett

“Members of the religious community are thus not to associate with former members, whether disfellowshipped or withdrawn. This also applies to close relatives, unless they belong to the same household. Family ties are not severed, but with regard to family members other than those with whom one lives, contact is permitted only in necessary family matters. It is undisputed that the threshold for such contact is relatively high.”

3-2 majority (Steen, Arntzen, Hellerslia; Poulsen and Falkanger dissenting) dismissed the State's appeal and declared the refusals of registration and grants invalid; unanimous that infringement of children's rights was not proved; majority: practice 'may entail a clear psychological pressure not to withdraw' (para 123) but not 'improper pressure' under Art. 9 ECHR; dissent: right to withdraw infringed.
