Dear Tyrone,
Feel your pain, man. I hope you can locate Gary B's words of wisdom on how to deal with anger - it had something to do with letting more - then more - time pass before venting. Prevents you from acting rashly and harming yourself and others. His comments were fairly recent.

Welcome to JWD Tyrone! I'm as currious as heck to hear your story now, I hope you go ahead and write it up and post it.
As for your story - post it under Personal Experiences.
As LadyLee suggested post it under Personal Experiences and you can use first names (even the real ones) just leave off the identifying last names and no one is the wiser, after all there are lots of Mike's, John's and Bill's in the world eh? LOL
I hope to hear your story soon!
Hey Dude!
Never be afraid to speak the truth, a righteous man has nothing to fear.
Is it morally correct to disclose their names? By my thinking they have volunteered to accept a public position as the "voice" of the Watch Tower.
A rank and filer should be afforded privacy, but leaders have voluntarily made the decision to "take the lead" and stand out from the pack in a public way. Their names are often found on public documents etc.
That said, it is the board owner's decision and you will probably be spanked like a red-headed step-child if you post personal info. I personally find that somewhat hypocritical since GB members and other big-shots are openly discussed here.
Welcome Tyrone - cry on our shoulders all you like. Rant. Rave. Bitch. Whine. Moan. Smile. Frown. That is how the healing starts.
We've all been there. Some still are - some of us regress at times. Cults do that to you.
You are among friends. Tell us as little or as much as you like.

I think your'e right Hubert, I really feel connected. I realize this thread is changing thanks to me, sorry. You have all answered my question very well though I will not post the names. I know this is going to sound stupid but how do I get to personal experiences
It's ok I just dicovered how. Now I have a lot of editing to do this might take a while but if things go well I will probably post it tommorow I havn't yet slept since yesterday. but If I can't yet sleep I will just continue to post for now. thank you all!
Tyrone, ....
My first couple of posts, my Bio is so horrible I just cringe.....but you know what, it was what happened, it is how I felt and it was healing. So write what you need to, most people here understand and you will get beyond it. ......
I look forward to your history.....It helps each and every one of us.

how do I get to personal experiences
Go to the ACTION/JUMP TO bar at the top of the page and click on the arrow. Scroll down to PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. Once there click on NEW TOPIC
Just a short comment about naming elders. It can be a lot more fun coming up with some aliases. Like ElderWhatisface or BrotherBombedMostOfTheTime or ElderSuckup or BrotherBreatheDownYourNeck. You get the point.
