"Growing Up a Jehovah's Witness"
Following the title, is the statement,
"The best way to understand a Jehovah's Witness is through an examination of the information they receive in their formative years on key aspects of life."
How true!
There's so much information in this video that we identified with as we raised our son to be a JW. Consequently, he remains a dedicated JW. It was mind-manipulation or persuasion and influence at its worst or at its best, whichever!

Thank for posting the date of the news report, darkspilver. I appreciate your scrutiny to make sure the information that I post is accurate, relevant and current. Nothing worse than old news! After the link was sent to me I looked around to find if the information was recent, but couldn't find anything. Please, if you have the time, darkspilver, maybe you could locate an update about this case. I'd sure like to know the outcome.
Thanks flipper for your post. Your words are a reminder of two of the Watchtower's worst child abuse policies - 1) when a molestation takes place, elders are to call the WT Legal Dept. first and not the police. (Perhaps in this case, the young victim's family member was not a JW and that's why the authorities were called, not the elders), and 2) the confidentiality policy which definitely can have dangerous consequences for other kids in the KH.

How Do You Distinguish Between Religious Fervor and Mental Illness?
It's not meant as insult to believers; the two states of mind can share many similar characteristics
- By Nathaniel P. Morris on December 22, 2016
George Fox, whose visions inspired him to found the Quaker religion in the 1600s, was accused of being a madman. Credit: Part of an engraving by "S. Allen", published in 1838, of a painting by "S. Chinn." The provenance of the original painting is unknown. Wikimedia Last year, a news column circulated the web, announcing the American Psychological Association had decided to classify strong religious beliefs as mental illness. According to the article, a five-year study by the APA concluded that devout belief in a deity could hinder “one’s ability to make conscientious decisions about common sense matters.” Refusals by Jehovah’s Witnesses to accept life-saving treatments, such as blood transfusions, were given as an example.
Of course, this turned out to be a fake news story. But it still drew legitimate media coverage and outrage from readers. Fact-checking websites like Snopes had to point out the column was satirical.
To many, this was a ridiculous stunt. But for me, a physician specializing in mental health, the satire hits home in many ways. My colleagues and I often care for patients suffering from hallucinations, prophesying, and claiming to speak with God, among other symptoms—in mental health care, it’s sometimes very difficult to tell apart religious belief from mental illness.
Part of this is because the classification of mental illness often relies on subjective criteria. We can’t diagnose many mental health conditions with brain scans or blood tests. Our conclusions frequently stem from the behaviors we see before us.
Take an example of a man who walks into an emergency department, mumbling incoherently. He says he’s hearing voices in his head, but insists there’s nothing wrong with him. He hasn’t used any drugs or alcohol. If he were to be evaluated by mental health professionals, there’s a good chance he might be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder like schizophrenia.
But what if that same man were deeply religious? What if his incomprehensible language was speaking in tongues? If he could hear Jesus speaking to him? He might also insist nothing were wrong with him. After all, he’s practicing his faith.

A poster on a FB page wrote two separate comments today regarding Daniel Arthington:
I was in ----------- Congregation with him for 10 years before he moved. He is a charmer with a sick inside hurtful personality. He caused so much trouble to so many lives. In the end he was caught out by his own arrogance.
He is sly, manipulative, not a man to trust and has a nasty streak in him that I have seen. He also cheated on his wife way back in 2004 and the elders gave him a little slap on the wrists. He is NOT a good man.

darkspilver, I agree with OrphanCrow. All you have to do is compare the version at the link you cited and the official translation and you'll see the huge difference.
By the way, for those who didn't catch what I wrote in my post, the producers of this documentary gave permission to share or post the program anywhere. Now we don't have to worry about copyright.

Thanks for the correction, BluesBrother - That's so funny. I read the headline quickly and thought his name was 'Sly' Anglesey Jehovah's Witness preacher.
For some odd reason I was not able to copy and paste anything from the article and had to rely on my memory while writing a little bit of a synopsis of what I read, otherwise I would have caught the mistake.
Reading that headline and getting it wrong reminds me of a website that lists 25 Unintentionally Funny Newspaper Headlines. If you want a good laugh, read some of those headlines.
