Do you think they all ended up being elders because they were ambitious and loved to exercise authority over others?
Or do you realize that each elder has his own story and that some became elders under great pressure?
Do you really think that all of the elders enjoyed participating in judicial committees?
Do you understand that some suffered or are suffering great anxiety about that, but they really believed it was Jehovah's arrangement so they did they best they could with what they knew?
If you disagree with an ex-elder or see some character defect in him, do you assume that it's because he was once an elder?
What about the elders that left the organization because they realized that it wasn't what it said it was?
What if they've helped others out of the religion?
Hate them too?
