I don't know why you must use the term "goon". If you must then, my response is that that term is unfairly denigrating. I think everyone is trying to arrive closer to "truth", but you are resorting to jr high level name calling.

BTW, there is no swearing in loyalty to WLee/LSM in order to become an elder of an LC. Elders are appointed largely based on their perceived character, functioning in the meetings and faithfulness/steadiness in service. There's much more to the function of eldership besides ministering the word. It's a largely managerial and people oriented position. But of course, to arrive at this perceived level in the LCs you'd have to have demonstrated an ability to speak and teach using the ministry of LSM/WLee; and to do that you'd have to be pretty favorable towards it.
