When looking inside one's self to find your authentic self requires a brutally honesty with yourself. The shadow side of ourseelves is where we stuff a lot of things we don't like about ourselves, stuff we have repressed, not all is bad stuff, some very good. Understanding your shadow side and unrepressing things in it can restore balance to the psyche and make one more whole and more creative as the psyche becomes unstuck from denial and suppression of natural instincts.

What would happen if the Governing Body started accepting their dark side? They have a lot at stake to do so, so much time devoted to corporation directives indicates it would be very difficult for them to ever do so.
But regardless what do you think would happen to all their anger toward shadow projections they pin on those that left the corporation's clutches.
They would free up a lot of stuck up psyche.

The more you can integrate your shadow into consciousness the more whole you become. Jung says that when we are first born is when we are most whole/undivided as time goes on we develop an ego consciousness, this causes divisions and fragmentation as we conform to society, parents, government, and so forth. At around middle age we start to turn inward more and since the ego is fully developed we start to return to be more whole and opposites try to gain more balance the process is natural but usually filled with many set backs. If all goes well the person becomes more whole and more happy where the process meets with many snags unhappiness is the results and a much more conflicted self especially if one actually takes his persona to be his real self must dissatisfaction will result because the process of wholeness has hit a major snag and one becomes a shell of his real self.

By the Governing Body's failure to integrate its shadow means they are a very fragmented bunch of neurotics unable to make good decisions for running a corporation because their brains ain't operating on all cylinders so expect even more loony ness from these guys as the WT corporation goes belly up with lawsuits brought on by the shear stupidity of management to handle problems.

You have supplied two very good You tube presentations Brokeback, best seen in sequence, the first explaining “the shadow” and the second how to set about addressing the integration of the shadow with one’s real self resulting in being a happier, self-reliant and a more complete individual.
A JW on the other hand, driven by his or her unthinking Watchtower loyalty is bound to ignore Jung’s wisdom and instead guiltily suppress the dark side of their nature.
They are led to believe that their JW persona is the real self, alas! it is only a functional mask, so conflict ensues.
These wrong attitudes compound their psychic problems and makes them ever more dependent on the leadership. In doing this the Witness is in fact infantilized-- that is, made to remain with child-like characteristics which simultaneously give yet more power to the paternalism of the governing body.
This is how cults operate.
JWs with doubts are led to ask “Where else can I go?” You could try reading Jung for a start.

HB,
A JW on the other hand, driven by his or her unthinking Watchtower loyalty is bound to ignore Jung’s wisdom and instead guiltily suppress the dark side of their nature.
And that is why I think they have a very bad problem with pedophiles inside the Watchtower Corporation is because all their suppression of sexuality in its members causing an increase in shadow pressure erupting to sex with children. The Catholic church too, with its sexual repression of priest might be the cause of so much child molestation in the clergy.
I think the numbers are huge for the WT corporation because they are more sexually repressive then the Catholic church.
The Shadow is a real bitch that will bite the Watchtower corporation in the ass time after time during the nightmare stage of wishful thinking.

The Governing Body govern thru a dense darkness of shadow projections about the world, the courts, and anyone leaving the mind control cult clearly shows that they can not govern very intelligently being so black and white in their thinking,,, so expect them to lash out blindly and hang themselves in court due to their delusional insanity.

I'm sure the Zalkin law firm is really digging these videos put out by the WT corporation about children and loyalty to corporation directives. The judges and juries are going to be handing out huge settlements due to these videos coming from headquarters.
No doubt the legal department is equally blinded by corporation directives that they can't properly advise the Governing Body as to what not to say in public thus exposing the GB to tremendous losses while under slavish servitude to the corporation.
