In the first century when Jerusalem was sacked , any kind of centralized authority was destroyed yet the apostles kept on preaching. Today when you look at the church ( the entire body of Christ ) , the differences between denominations is really quite minor yet they keep preaching the same message. I think that is kind of interesting.

JW's have no mechanism for an open airing of controversy because disagreement is seen as automatic rebellion, disharmony, and potential apostasy. Any doubt or skepticism is equated with a weakness of spirit.
The Early Christians had controversy when Paul had to face off with Peter and a public rebuke took place (about Gentiles). It was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and it demonstrates (because we can read about it) such controversy is permissible and necessary.
JW Elders are policemen. They have absolutely no training as counselors or psychologists or mediators--and yet--the assume and arrogate such skills for themselves.
The job of a JW is to become a sophisticated human version of poly parrot.

In the Kingdom Hall, bullshit goes in and comes out the same.
