Moeshe, love your cartoon! I notice the most ethical brothers who step down from the platform, "little-toe" and many others do not want to enrage the "holy spirit" or be hipocrites. Remaining a elder when you have left the Organization mentally, knowing there is nothing you can do to change Bethel's mind, is something my weak-conscience could no longer tolerate. My life experiece full of men who were half-hearted even though they did believe all the spew that came from WTS was bad enough. Wow, I can't imagine giving parts when I believe I am backing a evil organization, it's to ulcerating dude!
Ray Franz and Ed Dunlop should have lied and kept their fine place at Bethel, they were both great speakers with scholarly skill-sets. I am sure if they just waited until all their nemesiss died off, they could have made a huge dent? If only Jesus Christ had kept his mouth shut during his interrogation from the "High Priest" Caiphias, he would still be alive. It's a game I hated as a kid, watching and listening to kids give parts on going to "Bethel", "we will pioneer" or "Gilead Goals" when I knew they had no plans, because I sold them drugs in high school.
