I think lawyers are being used to write all the literature

    If you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on Jw org, the FAQ about shunning members who leave the religion....If a JW says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!", they will say, "na ah ah!! if you look CLOSELY it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children. But we all know those who leave ARE shunned and if they don't reside in the same household, they are also shunned. Infact the recent WT says even emailing is not allowed".

    Now......if a 'non jw' asks about shunning, saying, "I heard you shun ex members and if family members leave, they are also shunned", they will say that's a lie, look at JW.org. See how it says a person who doesn't go to meetings and service anymore is not shunned? And see how it says if a family member leaves, the spirital ties are severed but blood ties remain and normal family affections can continue?"

    The material when you see how they can spin them both ways, looks to me like a lawyer who writes the 'small print' of a contract. A person is misled on a sale, service, contract, agreement, etc, when they say "you should have read the fine print", or "well it doesn't actually claim that, it looks that way but if you read it closely, it really never said that", etc.

    What do you all think?

    Evangelist Franklin Graham's magazine 'Decision' just published an anti-gay pro Putin article praising the Russian leader for the homophobia laws in Russia.

    Think about the implications for the Watchtower writers.

    They have a writing departement, that's for sure. But probably all litterature passes though the legal departemen before being published.

    But this misleading about shunning can be a double-edged sword.

    They have a few sophisiticated people at Bethel who know their weak spots. I did not think lawyers when I read JW.org. My impression was that marketing or advertising people were involved. The deceptions at JW.org are hard to disprove. There is a written policy and actual practice. My gut reaction was that they hired outside the org.

    JW.org reads in a different tone than Witness lit. in general.

    there was a WT study article within the last 5 years that was all legalese, it HAD to be have been written by a lawyer. nobody understand the damn article.

    also i believe the GB consult with the lawyers in everything they do. legal implications = huge money loss otherwise.

    I have suspected for awhile now that many of their articles are being cleared by lawyers to keep them from being sued but I also don't feel they write them.

    A deaf mute worked for the mob. He realized some people were disappearing for offending the mob and he new his situation was 'iffy'. So, he had been squirreling away funds and then they sprung him. The big don used a lawyer who used deaf speak to talk to the guy. Finally the big don said "tell us where the $$ are or else!" and took out his gun with a silencer.

    The mute said in deaf speak, "the money is hidden in a false wall in the kitchen store, all large notes".

    The lawyer then said to the big don, "He said go out the back and hang yourself!"

    Lawyers dont you love 'em?
