I know a lot of Witnesses that drink a lot!
Secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues. Some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one.
They all masturbate, many drink too much, I have seen elders snagging trout illegally instead of proper fishing, There is no end to the things they do that are outside the rules and tell them-self its OK.
One Italian elder from the old country used to always drink wine before the meetings. Sometimes more than others. Elders decided to address it and he blamed it on being Italian. Lol
The whole slew of possible sins such alcohol abuse, corrupt business affairs, adultery, child abuse even murder.
Then you get on the sins of the top GB leaders and their onerous false doctrines which end up killing and destroying people's lives.
I know all the "sins" I'm guilty of. But like the Governing Body, I'm imperfect. An had bad examples, the Governing Body/elders. Lol all minor sins compared to them.
All of them by at least some of them, and perhaps a few of them none of them.
Sex sins were the most obvious elders dealt with. In the seventies any oral or anal sex among married couples was a sin, porneia. Lots of couples confessed
Slim boy, you sound like a completely normal person. 😀
I have seen plenty of them goofing off at work, despite that their own bible tells them not to. Many do lousy work. And they waste more time threatening each other than getting work that is work done.
Another incident I saw is one that got fired for sleeping on the job. Of course, he lied and said that it was for "working off the clock" (sweeping a broken glass mess on his lunch), making the offense even worse for lying about it. This idiot is now a hounder. (Who occasionally stops in to shop during hours I am at work--I can only hope he has zero experience in the German language, because the next time this idiot confronts me, I will call him out in German).
M&Ms
