    From what i understand these privilages aren't much of a privilage!
    I'd be wearing a fake beard just to get them revoked.

    When you are in a closed society, anything that elevates your status looms large in the imagination. Furthermore, when you are told that getting these privileges are a sign of God's blessing, they could ask you to take out the trash and you will be grateful.

    Very simple psychology.

    the best 'privilege' was pasing the mikes...and like, setting up the mike to the correct height before each brother went up to the stand to give a talk. How degrading.....

    We had a hydrolic mast at my last hall. I was so used to each brothers hight, I could set the Mic just right before he even got onto the stage.... kinda sad now that i think about it

    I just wanted everyone to picture me, a curly blonde, sitting there in the kingdom hall nonchalantly wearing a fake beard.

    They would no longer be "receiving" (taking) more than they "give".

    Thus, their "power" would cease. THAT is frightening to most of Them.

    Rejection is the next most frightening. No power=rejection. All my opinion only, of Kourse.

    They fear gettin' their privileges revoked because its akin to losing God's blessing being taken away or your whole sense of being lost. ITS ALL PSYCHOLOGY. Nice way to keep the rank and file in line.
