Was I Disrespectful to Dr Singelenberg?
by slimboyfat inas some may know, richard singelenberg is a dutch anthropologist who studies jehovah's witnesses.
he has produced academic articles and reviews on issues ranging from the 1975 disappointment and child custody cases to jehovah's witnesses in nazi germany and the history of the blood doctrine.
sometimes he sides with apostates and sometimes he sides with the witnesses on controversial issues (though i personally suspect the former impulse is greater than the latter).

You don't have to be a lawyer to understand some basics of law, especially these days were you can be sued for some ridiculous things. In my job in the security industry I have to know the law, but I'm not a lawyer. Does that disqualify me from doing my job?
"In fact I was going to post exactly the same points she made about its more likely the WT fear of litigation, that probably made them cut back on actually mentioning people."
ummm, who said i was upset? - does a question equal an emotional state? - also, to test your legal acumen, i ask the following: what does "consideration" mean? - that's a basic concept - you should, given the requirements of your job, hit this out of the park -

And in many free countries, the right to self-representation makes the technically accurate answer to your text-messaging question a resounding YES! Anyone where I live can practice law as long as it is for themselves. HS ended with 'Check the law.' He directed the person to the authoritative source for support of his view."
HS did not simply discuss law - he offered an opinion on a specific situation - that's the practice of law - it's like a lay person offering a medical opinion about a specific medical situation -
also, self representation is allowed because it harms no one except the person representing himself, the proverbial "fool for a client"
finally, "check the law" does not constitute an "authoritative source"
good grief -

HS wrote: "No, I am not a lawyer. Not sure what that has to do with anything under discussion here. What are you implying?"
u just came across as so authoritative in your post yet - as your response indicates - you hold no license to offer legal advice to a specific situation yet you did (read your post)
i read what you wrote and thought he is either a lawyer or a person like a doctor who thinks that because he is a doctor he can fix cars - before i dismiss his opinion i should check to make sure he's not a lawyer -

In fact attempts have been made to sue the WTS even when they have *not* used a persons name but have made it clear in context whom they were discussing negatively.
Check the law."
r u a lawyer or barrister? - if not, can anyone where u live practice law without a license? where i live it's a crime - seriously -
