I suppose because I hate hypocrisy so much, I've worked hard in my life not to be one. I think I've largely succeeded. As a witness, I was sincere and did not preach what I did not believe, I did not answer with words I did not agree with. Not being someone who was "taking the lead" may have made this more easy for me.
When I grew a beard, I disagreed with the society's position on men wearing beards. I let pretty much everyone, the CO's included, know that. I asked them to reason and change for the better. They wouldn't, and the cognitive dissonance of it all almost killed me, but I don't think there was any hypocrisy in my staying for 6 years or so with a beard.
I freely went to R rated movies my entire adult life. I didn't tell the elders I did, but I didn't particularly hide it either. When it came up, I argued (accurately too) that the unwritten rule JW's follow was not biblical, and for that matter, didn't harmonize with the WT's writings. I think now, more and more witnesses play it pretty much the way I did, although the unwritten rule is certainly still in place. But really, they're only hypocrits if they go about telling people it is wrong to see R rated movies, and then do so themselves. A fairly common hypocrisy among JW elders with dvd machines, I'd guess.
When I finally read a reasoned rebuttal of the blood issue, I spent about 3 days reading everything I could get my hands on about our blood doctrine, and decided that I would no longer consider myself a Jehovahs Witness. I never went to another meeting.
In the post above by Hillary, don't be too quick to dismiss the cat story. (btw Hillary, my cat Maggie is a boy as well, lol) It's just that sort of everyday ho-hum hypocrisy by parents (as opposed to cat owners), that churns out future generations of future hypocrits of America (FHA) with ill will towards adults. I'm sure most reading this thread so far have naturally thought about hypocrisy in terms of our fellow adults.... but imo, a real sickness on this earth is parental hypocrisy. Kids of course see it... but it's when they inevitably have to accept it that it causes such mayhem with lives. Any 18 year old will tell you how disgusting hypocrisy is, but many have had 18 years to accept it as normal because so many parents believe they have some automatic moral authority over their offspring. They don't. So many parents say they don't need to be "friends" with their kids, just "parents". Perhaps it's because they know that years of hypocrisy have left the door closed to friendship? Think about it, it's really hard to feel friendship towards anyone you consider a hypocrit.
