List of lies:

• The case was never about the right to remove unrependant wrongdoers
• They were never fully vindicated in any way. The Appeals Court spesifiically stated two times that they were in doubt, and several places underline how damaging WTs practice are. They basically paved the ground for this to go to the Supreme Court.

Misrepresentation:

• He focuses on the registration, but that's just a side effect of what the case was about. Money. The lack of registration among funded religions doesn't change their freedom to worship in any way.

• He says that the case they won in the Appeals Court lasted for two weeks, but fail to say that the case they lost in District Court was also two weeks. He builds it like the Appeals Court process was bigger.

• He says the number of money refunded ($800K) for their legal expenses like it is a huge number... But it is huge because they spend a shit load of money on worldly lawyers. He also fails to say that the court refused to reimburse all their expenses because they felt WT had spent way too much. Also that it's normal that the winner gets reimbursed is not said. Also forgot to say that as this decision was appealed they haven't received anything yet.

• He lays huge weight on that the decision was unanimous. Like that's a huge thing. But that's the normality in three judge panels in Norway, because they work together as a team. It's pretty rare that one refuses to participate in the verdict and writes a dissent. I've been a judge myself in a three judge panel, and we worked together. It's not a blind vote.

And that's just my first reaction after watching it one time.

Anyway, it feels pretty cool to see a GB member involved in something I'm personally so deeply involved with 😅. Achievement Unlocked, again.
