i have heard much about crooked watchtower lawyers on this site and wondered if anyone had anything to back this up?
i have my own experience (extremely bad) and was wondering about others.
Monster: Thanks for your response and your statements regarding generalizations about JWs. The point I was trying to make is that like JWs, attorneys are just people and it is unfair to negatively stereotype or make sweeping generalizations about any group of people based solely on the misconduct of a few.
Having said that, congratulations on your volunteer efforts. It is the efforts of volunteers like yourself that really make a difference in the lives of others!

Monster,
Many lawyers volunteer some of their time for various charitable causes as well, including free legal representation for the indigent. But like you, the vast majority do not volunteer all of their time; they need to make a living. You've spewed venom regarding lawyers working solely for the money yet you've revealed that you own your own business. Until you start devoting 100% of your business proceeds to charitable causes you have no basis for condemning others for expecting compensation for their work.
As for your experiences regarding the integrity of lawyers, attorneys are like anyone else. Birds of a feather . . .

Francois and others here have made a generalization about the honesty of lawyers and JWs, yet there is no empirical basis for their claims. Is their hatred for lawyers attributable to incidents in their own lives where they've failed to exercise proper judgment and gotten burnt as a result?
Francois, it's obvious you have a lot of pain likely resulting from your exposure to the Witnesses. However, that doesn't excuse the unprovoked, hostile personal attack you made against Downunder. We've all experienced a lot of hell as a result of our past and present JW associations - some worse than others. That shouldn't influence the manner in which you treat others.
Monster, you seem upset that lawyers are "in it for the money." I wonder what you work for? Do you volunteer all of your time, or do you expect to be paid for working? If you aren't a full-time volunteer, then isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to gripe that lawyers get paid for their work?
i would have to say my favorite moment is when bart goes to the comic book store and has this conversation with comic book guy:.
(bart lays $8 on the table).
bart: "can i have this comic book here?".
OK, here's a link to my favorite Simpson's moment: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/media/Simpsons_JW.wav
Excellent!

well my favorite simpsons saying are:.
homer: "d-oh" and "woo-hoo".
bart: "aye, caramba".
If someone can show me how to embed an mp3 file here, I can provide an audio excerpt from a Simpson's episode that is very relevant and on point for this board. Simon - don't worry, it falls within the "fair use" exception to the U.S. copyright laws.
the german kingdom ministry for december 2002 contains an announcement not to send emails to the headquarters or to the gb.. do foreign editions contain this announcement as well?
Hmmm . . . what are the measurements of this "governing" body?
from the article.
"tuna is the most consumed fish in the country," bender says.
"if you're a pregnant woman and you eat over two cans of tuna per week, you can go over" safe levels of mercury.
Damn good reason to go vegan; but then again, bring on the mercury!
george bush took advantage of your fears of 'big government' to get into office.... ...so are the democrats proponents of 'big government'?
do they love in-your-face politics?
do they want to give all of your hard-earned money away to good-for-nothing slobs?.
Hey brother Farkel,
It is a real shame that most people don't see the world as clearly as you and I do. The world would be a far better place if they did. What a pity.--larc
Are your cataracts amber or green, brother larc?

OK, LDH, I concede, you're right, I'm wrong, but do I have to be "dead" wrong? Life's not that great, but I'm in no rush to die.

The dinosaurs vanished because the Watchtower rounded them all up and pasted them in the inside covers of their version of the bible, the NWT.
