Nazi PO (resigned over threats of deletion after 30 years of power- now in a nursing home 75 miles away)
Nazi PO's Henchman- Still an active Elder, grudge holding bully of a little man who feels entitled.
Henchman's Posse.....
IT is they who do the sifting and dividing..... they who decide was worthy of paradise.
They would restrict FS and then hammer how the lack of FS hampered survival.
While I was not the only one, I was the youngest and the longest abused.
Our BOE is probably more divided then the GB.

Yes. These anti-Christian, anti-Catholic haters called Jehovah's Witnesses.

I hated being on the boe in my congregation. The back-stabbing was endless.

We had an idiot PO named Dale Swank. He was so intense that he came out once and said that meeting attendance was up at the book study when it was "goody night." Thus, people were coming to the book study for the wrong reason. Therefore, goody night was suspended until consistent attendance was seen at the meetings with no spikes.
Stupid man. A real Nazi, was like this about everything.
There were (are) two congs, Eaton North and Eaton South. Eaton North did well. South had "problems" and attendance continually dropped over the months and years. Nobody seemed bright enough to figure out that people couldn't tolerate the heavy handedness of P. O. Swank and they became so discouraged that they actually left the troof. (They couldn't start going to Eaton North because Swank insisted that they HAD to go where they were assigned.)

There was this one guy who would use the word "Jew" as a derogatory insult. I found that pretty offensive.

I call them Theocratic Bullies. And boy oh boy… my circuit full of them!
One of them once said to the entire congregation…”if you go out to “field service, door to door, etc” from any group other than the one you were not assigned to, all the hours you did that day are worth nothing to Jehovah, because you disobeyed the elders’ arrangements.”
Another one said in a “local needs” talk…”usually we have to encourage the congregation for the “good works” before we talk about the areas where YOU need to improve. But in all honesty…I don’t have anything good to say about this congregation, because I couldn’t find anything good about it…”
