Theres something super fucked up about JW who have a ton of power pretending they don't have any power but I can't quite put my thoughts into words
Like I think about the GB wanting the members to believe they are the lowest of everyone BC god said so. Or elders saying you shouldn't be mean to them BC they are servants to you and it would be cruel for you to make their job harder
But like these are the guys who, in one way or another, are implementing harm
Ive been thinking about it again now that the NZ case study on JW has been released again and it kind of emphasises how much they wanted the court to believe they couldn't investigate them BC they 'don't have that power over children' or whatever
Maybe it's the way it's hard to criticize someone or come up w solutions for something that noone believes in happening BC "those guys literally don't have the power to do that"
Or maybe it's something else I'm not completely sure but it's been bothering me
#like i know this replicates into larger structures of abuse but i dont understand enough to quite figure it out#kind of like when ppl w a ton of money pretend they have literally no power to help anyone else maybe?#im missing something and im so disturbed i cant figure eoyut what it is#exjw#ex jw#💬#theres also something to be said about the fact thay you have this power means youre one of the few ppl who can fix the harm and#youre choosing not to#or even if someone in power conceptualuzes themself to be beneath other they might not be inclined to stop the harm ?????????
