one of the defenses the WT tried in the Candace Conti case was that JWs who are out in field service aren't acting as representatives of the WT organization; they are just individual volunteers.
Another one :
Where Mr Unthank took on the W.T. organization in a Morwell court about the Faithful & Discreet Slave Class the J.W.appointed lawyer said words to the effect that the "F&DS class was just a theocratic Arrangement" and nothing else.
In this same court case brought on by Mr.Unthank the same excuse was used that Jehovah`s Witnesses were not employees of the WTB&TS they were only volunteers so the organization was not responsible for actions of the volunteers.
When Geoffrey Jackson the Australian Governing Body member gave evidence under oath whether he believed Jehovah`s Witnesses were the only religion approved by God or words to that effect he stated " that would be presumptuous on my part to say that"
Vincent O`Toole a Jehovah`s Witness Lawyer under oath at the ARC testified when asked about "Theocratic Warfare" as is practiced and sanctioned by Jehovah`s Witnesses Organization stated that he had heard the phrase but never knew what it meant ..
