Personally, I've come to believe that most of these so called "heads" were basically just uneducated men who were of low intelligence and totally inept at any form of leadership. So many JW males are in this category and are unable to think in shades of grey. They make life intolerable for their families, in particular the kids, with the inevitable result that they leave the JW's just as soon as they can.
So true. I think they don't amount to anything in reality and they know it. This religion gives idiots an opportunity to be in charge of something, to be important. Something they can't get in the real world.
One time the book study conductor (elder) mentioned that even he sometimes needed to physically discipline his wife and GROWN daughter who was still living at home... it made me sick. And they were both sitting right there. I felt so embarrassed for them; it's one thing to be treated like a dog or like property, but it's got to be horrible to have everybody know about it. It's like they became the congregation's poster victims for JW emotional terror in the family.
Needless to say, I never wanted to be married to a JW, even when I was still a good JW. Not from what I saw going on in my family, anyway. Most of these guys hate any woman who will stand up for herself, quickly labelling them as bad examples or whatever. There's no question in my mind why some of these guys are attracted to this religion.
