The one thing, men and women of all cultures share in common, is the desire for STATUS. People will lie, cheat, steal, murder and sell their children into slavery for 3 generations to be the most important person in their group. If you doubt it read the history of the Potlatch in British Columbia, or the rituals of any other culture.
Jehovahs Witnesses may, for various reasons, particularly fear of loss of status, avoid openly fornicating.
Striving to be the most important person in the group is an entirely different matter. Selling their children into slavery (Bethel Service or Pioneering) is just the beginning. Driving half a day to give an hour talk while they live is squalor and hide from their bill collectors is not unusual.
Greed is where they really standout. You know the kind of greed that comes with knowing one is tight with God, so it is ok to cheat the people Jehovah is going to kill anyway
Go ahead Have a JW tile setter build a shower for you, or let a JW give you a good deal on a car he bought as a wreck and patched back together. Any really brave apostates out there, can ask an ex Pioneer sister who drove her own car in service for years How much money her passengers chipped in for gas.
Many men became Elders out of good motive and then left the organization after they knew it was wrong and could not be fixed, but it is my experience that the ones that are still in are the most greedy and dishonest status seeking demigods on the planet. They do the same thing Satin did in the garden when he decided to steal the status that belongs to Jehovah.
The good news is they all get to stand before Jesus when he comes with all his angels. Right along with me and you.
