  Here's one:

  Watchtower puts on dramas about Israelite elders judging at the city gates, where justice (or injustice) was there for all to see.

  Watchtower fails to point out to Witnesses that if and/or when they are accused for wrongdoing and invited to a judicial hearing they will be refused any request to have a third-party observe their hearing for fairness.[1]

  This got me at one time. When in the "world" representation and/or support is a basic human right in any judicial forum with the exception of a few corrupt dictatorships. There is absolutely no warning that this will not be the case in WT world until it is confronted

  Imagine how many abusive practices could be stopped in thier tracks if this basic human right were not denied to the average JW.

  They will never tell you where the $$$ for the "World Wide Work" slush fund goes.
  
  Certainly not to soup kitchens, homeless shelters, orphanages or hospitals.

  • third-party observe their hearing for fairness.

  To be fair or I should say that there was one time that I know of that someone was allowed to be a witness to the JC hearing (I was the observer). It took an act of GOD (?) to get me in the meeting...they did not like it, want to, or inclined to agree but the CO said let it happen.

  I hope to have the freedom one day to relate this...but doing so now will shout my name out loud. I have not read another experience like mine, about being allowed to be in several meetings as an observer...so it doesn't appear to be something that is allowed or at least known that you can request it.
