How many Watchtower Lawyers are there? (page 2)

waiting

Howdy,

A couple of years ago, someone posted that the WTBTS had 53 lawyers at Bethel. For what it's worth - that's the number they bandied around.

To be taken into account - normally, where there are lawyers, there are paralegals - which do an incredible amount of work for lawyers.

I've known several attorneys in different states who do the WTBTS beckoning, but work in their own offices. As for pay? I don't know.

It's also been brought up in several threads that the WTBTS handpicks some young men at Bethel to have their college & law school paid for by the WTBTS - in return for 5 (?) years of servitude to the WTBTS. Then they can leave and start their own lucrative life.

Any confirmation of the above?

Interesting topic - as lawyers make the spin.

Room 215

Hi all,

How many lawyers? For an organization that professes exclusive backing from The Almighty, even one would be too many!!

Haven't they read and digested the import of the scripture about the folly of relying upon ``arms of flesh?""

100?! No way. I'd be surprised if they had more than a dozen at Brooklyn. Now, the entire Legal Department could well run into the 100s, I suppose, but the question was how many lawyers are there. A few years back I knew all of them, and there were fewer than half-a-dozen actual lawyers on staff.

JT is right, however, that there are outside brothers who are lawyers who do work for the Society even though they aren't actually at Bethel. Does that make them a "Watchtower lawyer"? Probably, in which case the answer is higher than in my first paragraph.

Did the apostle Paul have a lawyer?

Satanus

Paul WAS a fucking lawyer, just like rutherford. Funny how, in both cases, a lawyer took up a fringe religion and turned it into a lean, mean fighting machine that devoured much brfore it.

Jan, OOPS. You are right! Not sure of the prize yet. Something like a free trip to Norway.
