I've witnessed these all...unfortunately..
This is for all here who aren't JW's or XJW's. This is what the JW's r really like...
Problem: Get rid of the crusty old geezers doing privledges
Example: The old has-beens who think they are elders and can boss people around.
Problem: The thing where u have to ask the elders for everything.
Example: In the literature room there was a box of old books, of which were books I needed to plug up gaps in my collection. They'd been there for months and no one wanted them so I wanted to take them. Had to get the elders OK first.
Problem: Everyones a slack, back biting prick till the CO rocks up...
Example: A cong I was in had an attendance of around 80-90 normally but once the CO has a visit it gets bumped up to 120-130. Nothing gets everyone out to field service like the CO's visit. And nothing changes people like the CO's visit.
Problem: The sh*tty man-made rules.
Example: A young female publisher wanted to move in with her auntie and uncle......turned into a no-go cos of the elders.
Problem: The whole siege mentality
Example: Do or die......I had to say Jerusalem fell in 607BCE to stay outta deep trouble. Even though I knew it was all bullsh*t (The 607 date) I reckon the elder knew I knew it was BS...
Problem: All the ass kissing.
Example: CO's visit, conventions, circuit and district assemblies.
Problem: The name calling
Example: Running ahead of the borg is being presumptious.
Problem: Lording it over the flock (Not only elders)
Example: Every cong has a dictator.
All for now.
