amac-
Were you ever a JW? If so how can you not understand our hostility? My family are still JW's (mom, dad, brothers), but I still hate the WTBTS. I also wonder how these people (my family) can not see past all the lies! I know they are intelligent, but they aren't acting like it.
Many here were abused, shunned, humiliated and treated like shit by JW's, why wouldn't we be hostile? And you seem to be in one way or another siding with these people that cause much pain daily which will direct hostility towards you!
Mr. Bowen did not enter the Hall because 1) weren't the doors locked and 2) they were doing things on THEIR terms. He asked to bring witnesses and this wasn't allowed. Had it been a FAIR meeting he could possibly wanted to be involved.
