Been stumped on this one lately...Must one in a position of authority gauge their level of success as how good they are at cheating and using their authority to accomplish their personal plans and adgendas?
If they would use the intelligence toward finding ways to win the game..instead of new ways to cheat..would the quality of our leadership improve?
Any thoughts?
Just as success is how you view it, I guess winning depends on how you view it also. Winning isnt always coming out ahead or being first or getting our way.

Yeah, and how some people measure it IS by how much power they have over others. So they are cheating the rules of "the game" but they are not in it to play by those rules anyway, they are in it to get what they want. This is why perhaps, just maybe trying to work within the system is stupid if not just limiting. One might pay more attention to what is possible within the limits of natural law rather than what people typically think of as "the law." It doesn't mean you would hurt anyone, there's enough of that going on in various forms.
For many people..It`s not cheating if you don`t get caught.If you do get caught,deny,deny,deny..It`s worked for the WBT$..It can work for you!...OUTLAW
It depends what the rules of the game are. If you're happy for the game to disintegrate then you can cheat but generally the game is what makes it possible for the interation between the players, cheat and you stole from them they have every right to eject you from the game and remove all game assets. If your personal aims are above the game then you'll require cheating as inevitably the game and its rules are something you wish to usurp and control.
Example Hitler saught control via democratic means all along knowing he was going to break the game by tyrannical means. Hence he cheated (Reichstag fire, borrowed money he could not pay back, lied about reasons for troop build ups etc..)
If you transpose 'leadership' with 'service' then it ceases to be about power bt about maximum support for those served.
What a fabulous rhetorical question.

Religions also lie and cheat to gain power and control over others, JW's are not the only ones that have done this......
