tresdecu,
:Back then, It made me feel a little better that the "spiritual giants" elders posting here had the same doubts / anger.
Personally, I think ex-elders have much more to offer in the way of perspective than active JW elders. Ex-Elders have seen life on both sides of the fence. They have a better perspective of life and ideas inside and outside the walls of the WT than elder who've never been in the real world.
We've got a MILLION ex-elders in here. Ok, ok. So maybe I exaggerate. We've got a hundred THOUSAND ex-elders in here!
