Fear of Loss.

One of the key ingredients in almost everything that people do!

In this case, as you point out, the fact that certain "Witnesses" who are representing their voters out there have not taken any actions to correct what needs to be corrected says more about them and their "politician" like behaviour than what it says for the "voters" who probably are not even aware of these facts.

Funny, there is a saying I heard in a few different versions in my travels and experiences around this world:

"Give a person power to see their true character".

Funny how many of the loudest anti-government protestors out there behave identically to those that they are protesting against when put into the role of a "representative of the people".

Rather sad, isn't it!

It's one thing to use all that one has available to get into a position of power, but when that person gets there, then the real truth comes out into the open as to WHY that person did everything that they did!
