Partly 1 and 2 I'd imagine.. the name tag heirarchy distinguished basically who is "right" (the moron running the the meeting) and who's "wrong" ( the poor slobs in the audience drooling at every word of said moron)
in other words, not NO humor.. but herr mogster's humor is the only "humor" allowed.. all other is "devilish", "devisive", "too sarcastic" or the like..
"mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be homos" is allowed. It's sarcasm.. but it agrees with the "truths" of herr mogster of the moment..
To question Wierwille was a sure sign of "spiritual immaturity" or spiritual "problems"...defering your opinions over to der Victoid was mandatory...and of course once this occurred, you became a mindless f** k chimp. The other 24 steps that follow are like dominoes tumbling...

I think this is the most.. what's the word.. betrayal of the soul. Don't make damn promises you can't keep..

we are supposed to be "brethren".. let's see the DEED, not the spoken word..
I'm waiting..

I don't attribute it to the doctrine, or anything other than character..
we'll see what we'll see.. perhaps..
