Something that seems dishonest is the treatment of the undocumented brothers.
While they are learning the “truth” there is no mention about their legal status.
They get to be new publishers and the matter never comes out.
When the baptismal questions are asked they brush over the matter of obeying “Caesar” without any further discussion.
Once that they are in they learn that they have a stigma over them and they won’t be allowed to have any privileges until their situation changes.
In the meantime their field service, contributions, labor and everything else that they are doing is welcomed and praised.
It seems hypocritical to allow them in without any warning about what is going to be coming to them.
