Thanks for making this post......Within (but certainly not unique to) the WBTS, I've come to see the difference between an apology ( i.e." I'm sorry" that you're such a repulsive low-life ), and a true amends. There is a huge distinction in the results, for both the giver and the receiver. Peace to you as you continue on the path of true amends.

Irreverent, Welcome! Thank you for your heartfelt, sincere expressions. I'm sorry for what you went through. Forgive yourself for anything you did for the borg, you didn't know. Your apologizing helps those of us who have been hurt by an elder. Thank you. (Question for anyone: WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ELDER BOOK AND WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?) Just curious:) - Victorian Sky

I can sympathize with you. I keep asking myself how I could have been so stupid, so naive, spending so many
years as an elder, trying to do what was honorable.
I used to watch the movie "High Noon" and cry.
You can't be the Lone Ranger or Gary Cooper in this organization.
Only company men and sycophants are acceptable, not thinking, caring Christian men
It all stops for you when you realize you can't reform it
and they won't change
