I would think sooner or later it is inevitable with all the stupid shit the Governing Body pulled over the last couple of years. I can only imagine the angst many intelligent lawyers at bethel feel toward this braindead Governing Body of Idiots.
Is a Major Rift Developing between the GB and It's Bethel Lawyers??

A lawyer will really stretch his thinking in favor of his client, along the lines of isn't it possible, even though they know it is about as likely that statement is true as saying monkeys flew out of their butt. But at a certain point client stupidity or culpability makes a valid and/or viable defense impossible and the attorney shifts gears to damage control. Or if the client is completely deranged they ask the judge to allow them to withdraw as counsel. No lawyer worth his salt wants to be given an asskicking in open court.
The Catholic church has taken in the shorts for their stupidity and culpability for putting the image of the church before taking care of their parishoners. The WBTS is next on the hot seat me thinks and their counsel is not happy with their client.

I can only imagine what years of working as legal council for the Governing Body can do to ones moral and integrety. The pain emotionally can be horrific.
Can an lawyer working for the Governing Body turn them in for illegal activity?? Is that ethical??

Frank,
A lawyer cannot disclose that past illegal activities of his client, they can disclose if their client reveals the intent to commit future illegal acts.

What are the possibilities,, and possible repercussions of a lawyer working for the Governing Body useing a middle man to reveal illegal activities of thier client?? Could they do it (albeit unethical) and be sucessful? What would one do to avoid getting into trouble??

Frank, lawyers that breach attorney-client privelege can be disbarred. As to how one would accomplish what you propose I don't know, that would be a question for a legal eithics professor or a lawyer that works on the diciplinary board for the state supreme court which governs the condut of attornies.

Big,
Have you ever heard of any interesting stories where a lawyer did turn in his client?

I remember when the Witness religion at least tried to be taken seriously. Now I read recent Kingdom Ministry(s) instead of going to the comedy sites. I think the recounts of the recent convention baptized ministers running and screaming in hotels is hilarious. And the directions on how to pack a cold bologna sandwich is priceless. I think my favorite is how to make a hotel reservation. Incredibly funny.
