Very amusing that on the one pro site I check they were sadly admitting the elders did a really bad job. They thought the same of the expert speaking on the Orgs behalf and then the thread just dried up! Not a post until the last 2 days when they started crowing about how great the branch overseer is doing in testimony.
NOW they are talking again. I just thought that was strange that they clammed up when it got bad and then got unstuck when they felt less ashamed of how they were being made to look as a group.
The thread has a lot of emotional folks who have tales to tell of their own abuse so people are trying to be respectful of that and there seems to be an attempt at honest discussion, Some have even mentioned the lies and deception on the part of JW testimony.
