The hate that can be felt within the Congregations at times towards certain individuals, families and groups is palpable. Everyone joins in with the latest "linchin" whether it be some poor sod being disfellowshipped out of existence, or a lower income familiy with problems being driven away because the congregation closes social ranks on them, or a lonely confused teenager being singled out for gossip because they dyed their hair or have a worldly friend. Everyone joins in the official and unofficial hate campaigns because as long as it's someone else's family getting annihilated at least it's not them or theirs.
The GBs through the decades have created the evil petrie dishes where this kind of ambient abuse flourishes.
