Farkel, thank you so much for pointing out these oh-so-important hidden facts about what Jehovah's Witnesses are really all about!
There are those in the WTS with the power to harm and even cause needless death to others. They have absolute power to do whatever they want to six million souls. They have abused this power and harmed people in countless ways for eight decades. Yet, they not only show no repentance for their evil deeds, they refuse to admit to any accountability, either. They face no jury and receive no punishment. They shed no tears. They show not an ounce of remorse. They refuse to be judged by the same standards they use to judge others.
On the other hand, the average JW faces the harshest punishment possible in WT World for deeds which often hurts only himself or one or a few other people at most. When local elders falsely accuse and punish someone, causing collapse in that person's world and life, what happens to the false accusers and judges? They exculpate themselves just like their WT leaders: "We're just imperfect men."
So, in a sense, WT leaders who sin are still heroes, but WT worker bees who's sins are much less grave are villains. But other than this, dubs live and function (barely) in a world of absolute good vs. absolute bad. They alone are the heroes and all others are the villains. In the WT world view, the most heinous of human scum like Saddam Hussein are viewed in exactly the same way as the most kind and benevolent souls who just happen to not be dubs. At the hands of their black/white/evil/good/hero/villain judgmental God, NOTHING one does can mitigate his eternal damnation if he does not play by WT rules.
Absolutely fabulous essay, and so timely for what's going on for me right now!
(You're so cool when you show up like this with such a blockbuster out of the blue )
