Question to all those well versed in legal issues. All JW's, when confronted with criticism, claim that apostates lie about the WT. I always have wondered, given the litigious environment in which we live in western democracies, why the WTS doesn't go after all those websites that publish so many "lies" about "the truth".
Can this lack of action on the part of the WTS be used as evidence of the truthfulness of the message in "apostate" sites such as JWFacts,
or is it possible that the defamation/slander/libel laws don't apply here and therefore that's the reason why the WTS does not pursue any legal action?
What I am trying to lead to is: Can we ask JW's who accuse "apostates" of lying:
If they (apostates) lie, why doesn't the WTS legally go after them in a civil court?
Knowing that the WT is not pursuing any legal action against "apostates", this question would possibly lead those JW's to reconsider their belief that "apostates" lie.
