This subject came up in another thread about the WTS paying for Silentlambs.
Does the Watchtower consciously lie? Do you have examples?
I know about a scandal that broke out during the '80's involving a huge number of bad decisions made by elders and
a deranged Circuit Overseer. The Society sent in a special committee to straighten out the mess.
A prominent Bethel elder on the committee told a local elder "You have to lie, sometimes"
That's a quote.
Also, there are a number of stories emenating from Paterson/the Service Dept. indicating flat lies
such as telling callers that they can't be helped with information ( a gay group, I think) because "it's
a holiday" ( Not in Bethel!) or assurances that somebody won't be df'd or da'd when they have already
sent a letter recommending such an action.
