[thumbnail pic: Wouldn't JWs be better off letting REAL Bible scholars -- Keil & Delitzsch, for instance -- interpret God's word for them?] It reveals much about the Watchtower/JW.org that though this religion finds the Law of Moses a convenient justification for its informer policy, the same religion does NOT follow that Law's legacy to the western justice system -- public trial, public accusation, the public calling of witnesses. As Ray Franz points out in "In Search of Christian Freedom", the secretive "justice system" of JW.org and Jehovah's Witnesses makes it possible for the accuser NEVER to have to face the accused. And too, in the world of the Watchtower there will never be public trials nor the necessity of public witness. What accountability can there be in this closed system where elders are judge, jury and executioners?
