To my knowledge, the WTS has never said "you can't" or "don't" invest, it has simply cautioned that doing so carries certain risks and not to invest in a way that demonstrates greed. Sorry, this just doesn't strike me as conspiritorial or hypocritical.
Sorry, they are hypocrites.

Flipper,
This came up with a friend of mine that is fed up with being harassed by one of the elders. My friend still believes it is the truth but I don't know for how long. My friend told me that there needs to be some kind of recall mechanism for abusive elders if the congregation doesn't want them as elders anymore. Good luck I told her!

You could make the threat of leagal action? JC will be haulted, branch informed, case put on hold !
if the accused knows he/she is getting the boot maybe they should call the branch themselves and tell the branch that elder ______,_____ and _____ are not following procedure and legal counsel will be retained and local law will be called in
call em out on their bullshit
