What I always found a bit humorous was that in meetings where everyone was allocated a certain amount of time to speak, everyone would start moaning and groaning as soon as someone went over time. When a BB or elder goes 30 minutes too long, no one would give it a second thought. It just goes to show the kind of regard the BB's get as opposed to the average Joe.
In Christianity, you have pastors, reverends and preachers who give sermons at church service. In the LC, you have blendeds, serving ones, and co-workers who give messages at meetings. Now, which one is so superior, and normal, and which one is defective, distorted, and nullifying the function of the body members? Terminology aside, what's the difference?

I think one example of hypocrisy is, to say "If you do it, it's bad; but when I do it, it's okay." That is arguably textbook double standard, and subjectivism run amok. Welcome to the LC fantasy factory.
