The organization must be protected from liability for whatever JWs do.
It's like the 1975 fiasco.
That wasn't the fault of the GB.
No, no.
The fault was with individual JWs who "ran ahead of Jehovah."
Our door to door activities were a personal ministry and not recognised as representatives or volunteers of the Watchtower Bible And Tract Society

During the Viet Nam War we were to refuse alternate service and go to jail/prison. When I asked for help with my Court case I was forgotten and ignored by the Wt. Society.

Sizemik: The WTS is an animal farm.
Have you read Animal Farm by Orwell? If not you should.
Although Orwell wrote it about Stalinist Russia, it could just as well be about the WTBTS.
The way the The Seven Commandments of Animalism keep changing is a spot on send up of WT revisionist history concerning their ever changing "New Light" Theology.

Watchtower lawyers may be afraid of a certain drift in case law as regards religious volunteers in particular. There was a midwest case involving a big liability settlement against a Catholic diocese some years ago in which some volunteer had a car accident.

The lawyers have run the show since about 1990 not the GB and all decisions that appear 'oppressive Orwellian' are explained to the rank and file as: necessary because the society is being bombarded with lawsuits by apostates. (lie)
That's their scapegoat that is what I was told in 1990,The Jehovah's Witnesses organization is classic paranoid evil cult,just like Jim Jones or the Nazi party.

Tell them that you were asked by some "worldly" person that you work with/delivers your mail/the milkman....
And then ask them to call Bethel for confirmation and advice....
