Not psychopaths, but I have known some Witnesses who were functional psychotics ( I'm not kidding - one was officially
diagnosed and you'd never know until talking in depth to him)
I knew a C.O. I believed was a sociopath. He was later removed after creating years of wreckage in local congregations.

Yeah, we had one. I can't remember too much about him since it was so long ago and I've blocked out many of my JW memories for years.. Apparently this guy used to be a drug addict. He would have his normal days, then his weird days. My mother told me about a time when he pointed to an irrelevant bible scripture and said, "Do you see? Read that! Do you see? Jehovah has shown me the way!!!" My mother had no clue what he was talking about and was kinda freaked out.
Not sure what happened to him. On his good days, he was a nice guy. On his off days he'd try and commit suicide. He was battling depression a lot. I highly doubt that being a JW was helping him.
Apparenly there's an elderly lady in my mother's congregation who is extremely paranoid. She's afraid that all the brothers are madly in love with her and chasing after her.

I guess it depends on how you define a psychopath.
Some were simply manic depressive and acted psycho. Others were simply converted looney birds.
I knew/know of one in particular thats stands out in a crowd. Dubs come in all 31 flavors.
