Interview with Ex-Elder: View from the Watchtower

this is from september 2011. i missed it when it was initially posted online.

i enjoyed it.

of interest to me was the man's shock when he was appointed as an elder, and the body of elders brought him up to speed on the congregation's dirty laundry.

Hello From a Newbie

i found this site randomly the other day on an unrelated search, and its nice to find a place where people can discuss a relgion that in house cannot be discussed without either being quoted mantras or a very skewed view of the world.. ok about me.. im a 24 year old taiwanese-american, and i have been raised as a jw from the age of about three to the age of 17, when i unoffically left.

i started to have doubts around age 12, but did what i was supposed to to keep mommy and daddy happy.

my parents are jws, as well as my older 1/2 sister, and my younger sister.

Those of us who left the WT for less than noble reasons

sometimes i feel like a second class apostate...not that anyone has ever said anything to make me feel that way, i just do, you know what i mean?.

i left the jws because i just couldn't fight my flesh anymore.

the battle inside was going to kill me literally.

"To thine own self be true" sounds pretty noble to me.

hi, folks,.

there is something that is, for me, sacred.

that is the family relationship.

You have a lovely family. It isn't any wonder considering the husband and father that you are. Happy 50th!

Do you have to deal with a psychopathic person?

def: psychopathy (/sa?

'k?p?i/[1][2]) is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness.

psychopaths are highly prone to antisocial behavior and abusive treatment of others, and are very disproportionately responsible for violent crime.

anyone ever see or hear any of this?

it's some amateur original jw music by a guy named herbert!

he also dabbles in ventriliquism that is equally as terrible as his music!.

I was thinking the exact same thing as the title of this thread when I read the article about Penn State this morning. What a crying shame this whole situation is!
