Der derzeitige öffentliche Standpunkt der Organisation lautet, dass entfernte Personen 'with respect' (mit Respekt) behandelt werden, dass sie 'welcome to attend our religious services, where he may be greeted' sind (bei den Zusammenkünften willkommen sind, wo sie gegrüßt werden dürfen), dass sie die Ältesten um Hilfe bitten können und dass Ehepartner und minderjährige Kinder einer entfernten Person im selben Haus 'normal family affections and dealings' (die normale familiäre Zuneigung und den normalen Umgang) beibehalten; die FAQ geht auf Verwandte, die anderswo leben, nicht ein und wendet die Aussage über den Gruß aus 2. Johannes nur auf diejenigen an, die 'actively try to undermine' (aktiv zu untergraben versuchen) die Versammlung.

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

18. September 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.

Supreme Court of Norway (Høyesterett), judgment HR-2026-1009-A (case no. 25-089326SIV-HRET), official English translation published 16 July 2026, “The State (Ministry of Children and Families) v. Jehovah’s Witnesses; European Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses (intervener)”

29. April 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“Members of the religious community are thus not to associate with former members, whether disfellowshipped or withdrawn.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.
