    Watchtower Free - That's hilarious and brilliant. That's pretty much how they act. Like they're big bad mobsters and you need to explain yourself to them or else.

    They're going to give you an offer you can't refuse.

    CM: All I said was that the JW's were a shitty, destructive cult.

    C'mon. If you said it, own it!

    The elders only have the amount of authority over you that you allow.

    Let's review: It's a cult!

    Put a stone in their hand and ask ..................

    chances are they have sinned more than you and continue to treat people badly .like the ones they are supposed to shepherd.

    I asked some elders "why should I trust you? .....most molesters I've known in the org have been elders so where's your credibility?

    Lack of boundaries is quite a common problem in the organization.

    Cappytan: if it's just a couple of elders, why do people even open their doors to them if they're faded?

    I always open the door to the elders for the simple fact that I considered them to be my friends for many years. It is not me who will stop communication and act like a tool. It is them. And I feel that way about everyone I know in the JW. When I see them, I am polite, casual, and with respect for their beliefs. In essence, I act the way I want them to act with me. So far, I haven't been threatened by anyone about anything. This may change if they see me doing something that is frowned upon, but it will not be me who brings an end to nice, polite exchanges.
