fathers would sometimes even offer up their daughters in marriage to him because of the prestige of his position, he said. I imagine all jw's will deny anything like this ever occured.Well it's not like they come up and simply hand over their daughters... but I have had it happen where they make every effort to set up their daughters with visiting Bethelites and hope it works out. The statement in the article as written is an exageration however
Mr Brady would not even have spoken to, even exchanged an 'hello' with Bethany Hughes if she had willingly accepted a blood transfusion.
Mr Brady would not even speak to or even exchange a civil 'hello' with the parents of the sextuplets if they accepted blood treatment for their children.
This is the difference between him and an ordinary lawyer who is representing his client.
The parents MUST OBEY and FOLLOW his directions or lose even civil contact with their JW family and peers. He is in a position to take 'their whole' lives away from them. This is why it is not a 'normal' lawyer/client relationship. This is why he should NOT be representing them, as in the end he is really representing the WTBTS and NOT the family of the sextuplets. They are NOT in a position to privately change their minds and allow blood therapy for their children because HE will NOT allow it without adverse consequences for the family.
In the end, he is little more than the 'executioner' with an axe over this family's head if they disobey his and the WTBTS directions.
Is it me or does this guy look like a robot! Hummmmmm interesting!!!

How very true and damning to Mr Brady!

Barrister's Oath?
It is clear to see that Shane Brady serves the Society first and foremost. The Society demands that he put Jehovah above and before any Barrister's Oath, including the all important oath of confidentiality. If Bethany would have accepted a blood transfusion, he would have not only not spoken to her...but likely would have turned her in to the elders!
*** Watchtower 9/1/1987 pages 14-15 "A Time to Speak"-When? *** Thinking Ahead Employers have a right to expect that their Christian employees will ‘exhibit good fidelity to the full,’ including observing rules on confidentiality. (Titus 2:9, 10) If an oath is taken, it should not be taken lightly. An oath makes a promise more solemn and binding. (Psalm 24:4) And where the law reinforces a requirement on confidentiality, the matter becomes still more serious. Hence, before a Christian takes an oath or puts himself under a confidentiality restriction, whether in connection with employment or otherwise, it would be wise to determine to the extent possible what problems this may produce because of any conflict with Bible requirements. How will one handle matters if a brother or a sister becomes a client? Usually such jobs as working with doctors, hospitals, courts, and lawyers are the type of employment in which a problem could develop. We cannot ignore Caesar’s law or the seriousness of an oath, but Jehovah’s law is supreme. Anticipating the problem, some brothers who are lawyers, doctors, accountants, and so forth, have prepared guidelines in writing and have asked brothers who may consult them to read these over before revealing anything confidential. Thus an understanding is required in advance that if serious wrongdoing comes to light, the wrongdoer would be encouraged to go to the elders in his congregation about the matter. It would be understood that if he did not do so, the counselor would feel an obligation to go to the elders himself.There may be occasions when a faithful servant of God is motivated by his personal convictions, based on his knowledge of God’s Word, to strain or even breach the requirements of confidentiality because of the superior demands of divine law. Courage and discretion would be needed. The objective would not be to spy on another’s freedom but to help erring ones and to keep the Christian congregation clean. Minor transgressions due to sin should be overlooked. Here, “love covers a multitude of sins,” and we should forgive “up to seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21, 22) This is the “time to keep quiet.” But when there is an attempt to conceal major sins, this may be the “time to speak.”
Wow that guy is stacking up sins to high heaven with him backing the bogus blood policy of the Watchtower Society. What goes around comes a around, or at least I sure hope so freaking WTS zombies.
Possibility he should be held and charged with being an accessory and as an acting proponent to commit a crime...since he is a principal working and paid professional ?
It would be a different situation of course if he was representing the WTS in a confrontational case against the government on the blood issue.
Personally I think the government should be going after the WTS for the simple reason they are the encouraging force that is making the people commit the crime of neglect and injury
Perhaps the government should place a multimillion dollar fine levied at the WTS on reasons of instigation and pressure, it is my opinion that they should be held accountable and not the
individuals themselves. Isn't this a serious enough situation, after all this is about life or death of people. The goverment states for example the parents must be held accountable
for the health and welfare of the children under their care. Period ! The law does not say that parents are to be accountable, unless the illness or death was due to an established religious
belief. ! For example lets say a religion had established itself and during it's evolution it was necessary for a child to be sacrificed to their god as an act of appeasement and they did in
fact carry this out. Do you think the government would go after this group or do you think they would back away and say oh wait a minute this is an organized religion, no action should take
place ?
Just some thoughts .........
The citation for his bar association award said he did "pro bono" (free) work for a religious charity. "pro bono" my &$$. He is a "kept" man . . . ESTEE
If Mr.Brady would honestly answer whose law he would uphold if a conflict arose, the law of his god Jehovah or the law of the land he was practicing law in, He would have to state Jehovah's laws.
I believe that would disqualify him from even practising law in any form. He has a major conflict of interest here to begin with. The fact that Brooklyn feeds and houses him is only the start of his legal hypocrisy.
