JAMIE- Thanks for posting. This quote slays me, " it was stated door - to - door activities were part of a members " personal ministry " , and 'publishers ' were not representatives or volunteers of the Watchtower Society. " What a load of horse manure ! Just a bold faced lie on the part of WT legal representation.
If JW's ARE NOT representatives or volunteers of the WT society ; then what the hell ARE they ? Sliced tomatoes ? None of the JW's get PAID for knocking on doors , and they DO present and place WT society literature with people at doors - so yes, I'd say that classifies them as WT Society representatives or volunteers ! The arrogance and idiocy of the WT leaders and their legal department is ridiculous. Not to mention criminal
