Post by Ivan The TerriblePost by KevrobPost by Ivan The TerribleI'm curious about the rituals and practices of converting to different faiths.
Please name your religion/denomination and then describe the conversion process.
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. ...
This is off-charter for alt.atheism.
Yeah? How on charter are your accusations that I pretended to be a lawyer,
you filthy hypocrite?
Dead, spot on.

Impeaching the credibility of trolls by quoting their more ridiculous
statements seems fair. I have pointed out how Tandy paltered.

Tandy did, at least once, call himself a Naval Prosecutor, and
told us he attended U of I Law without bothering to tell us
he withdrew after 1 year: a "lie by omission."

I attended Law school at the University of Illinois in
Champaign. You can check their records if you don't believe
me. I also practiced criminal law as a prosecutor in the Navy
for 4 years.

Note he didn't originally tell us he attended UofI Law for 1 year,
allowing those who don't read closely to assume he went the full 3.
"Lying by omission," the good faddas and sistas called it back when
I was in Catholic school.
Now, is it fair to claim being a non-JAG "legal officer" on
board ship to be "practicing law?" State bar associations
would probably say "no."
It's easy to deal with this, Tandy. Just say "I expressed that
incorrectly."
{/Quote}
I still say, that when one claims to have "practiced law," that is
an equivalent claim to "I am/was a lawyer."
Practicing law without a license is generally not permitted in
the US, though there are paralegals and some limited license
legal technicians in states like Washington. Since the Navy
would follow its own rules, under Federal, not state law, Tandy
doing what he did do was perfectly legal. He certainly wasn't a
JAG lawyer, though, or anything near it. And rules for non-lawyers
doing work that used to be the sole province of licensed lawyers have
loosened over the years. A paralegal may work in a law practice,
but isn't a full-fledged lawyer.
Again, the record has been corrected, but let's not forget that
Tandy tried to slide this past us, in a case of "claiming false
expertise," but got caught.
-------------------------------------------------------
Anybody who reads this can judge how truthful Tandy was on
this issue, before correcting the record.
I think it is plain that he was attempting to paint himself
with the authority of credentials he never had. That's
one man's opinion, of course.
