It's my understanding that the lawyers on staff with WTBTS are "volunteers". I can't imagine them being anything BUT dubs to do something THAT stupid!!!
I'll check my source again and see what I can find out!

various media reports indicate that the wbts often employs the services of a large number of lawyers and i have seen it suggested that some of the top legal minds amongst them are in fact jehovahs witnesses.. since a qualified and experienced lawyer will have been trained in the art of digging out and scrutinising factual information, how come these people are jw?s?
if they applied their training, to the lest extent, to an examination of "the truth" (tm) it would quickly be seen as a load of bull puckey, even by a halfwit.
it could not possibly stand up to proper scrutiny by a person trained and qualified in the legal profession.

I've asked this question before, myself!! I've heard that many of the lawyers were active members who were actually sent to law school by the WTBTS. I've also heard that those on staff are required to be a JW. Don't know whether either is true, but both certainly sound plausible to me! I would be willing to bet my right arm that 99% of them don't believe a single word of the crap the WT espouses - just like most (criminal) lawyers probably don't believe a single word of most of their clients they are hired to defend. It's all a game - and the name of the game is not about finding the "truth", (no pun intended! LOL!), but about "winning" no matter what the truth is! And it sure is easy to hide behind "Freedom of Religion" ............. It is easy to fight cases that deal with the Constitution, comparitively speaking! And they've been very good at it for years!

it sounds far-fetched to me.

Did a cursory search - nothing exciting came up. I stopped subscribing to the database that can give me more info just before I saw this! Dang! I hate when that happens! Let me see what I can do about getting a pay-per-search and I'll check then. In the meantime, if you don't hear from me, pm me to remind me!
Nice to see you again, too!

anyone had the experience of nervously knocking on someone's door and talking about a "topic" and the householder has misunderstood why your there !.
my experience:.
was on the door telling the householder about local politcs and how they all were the same in their views and that no party has the solution to end the problems we face etc etc.
LOL! Great story!

Hi Michelle!
Welcome to the board!
Even though you can see the pictures you posted, we are unable to see them. Here is a thread that will help you to post them so we can see them!

my girls attended the district convention today with their mom and step dad.
they hate the meetings but see the convention as a time to socialize and meet boys.
(yikes!
Pretty amazing story - while at the same time, not at all surprising! The unconditional love of the JW's is so glaringly obvious, and it is great that the 13-year-old saw right through it! Kudos to her!
It sure would be nice if Sammie-jo's mom ends up on the board! Be sure to introduce us to her so we can say "hi"!!
