    Do you know of JWs in positions of authority, elders or higher, that abused their power in a way that harmed other JWs eg by making up totally false accusations against them, motivated perhaps by jealousy or sheer malice?

    Well, this might be slightly off, but my stepdad would push me around a lot *literally* and he changed my mum b'cos he's a control freak.

    Who gave him this right? hehe, jehovah made him head of the household, so for the five years i prayed to Jehovah to save me, get me out of this mess, even in times of doubt blaming myself....nothing. Bruises, cuts, emotional pain and things i shall never forget.

    thats ok, usually things are sneaky but here i one that i thought of.

    A cleaning service near me is ran by JW's and employ's only...JW's.

    Anyone one of them stole money and instead of getting in trouble, he was disfellowshipped.

    So witnesses are the police now eh?
