TOPIC OF PART 3: Some have said that all Jehovah’s Witness elder are perverts, as many intimate questions are asked when “wrongdoing” (by their standards) occurs. I share two stories that indicate some of them are vicariously enjoying the escapades they question the publisher during a judicial committee meeting.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS SERIES: I have been thinking about making this video for a while now. I initially thought I could do this in one video, but I was very much mistaken! My goal in talking about what I saw and experienced while serving as a JW elder is to simply relate what I witnessed in the many back-room meetings with elders, publishers, circuit overseers, etc.
I did not want to use the names of any of the publishers / former JWs that I dealt with during those ten years. We had only 3-4 elders on our body and over 100 publishers nearly the entire time, so I estimate I gave about 3,000 parts from the platform (As MS and elder) and sat on easily 200+ judicial meetings. These covered the following sins and situations:
1. Cheating on wives
2. Cheating on husbands
3. Getting drunk in private
4. Getting drunk in public
5. Single and engaged people “fooling around”
6. Smoking cigarettes
7. Smoking marijuana
8. Gossip and slander
9. Working for a church or “disapproved” business
10. Causing divisions and/or problems in the congregation
I did not encounter any cases of pedophilia during my time as elder, however as a Ministerial Servant I was tangentially involved in one case, and neighboring congregations had this problem at least twice that I knew of when I was an elder. We had to do a conference call with the Service Department a couple of times and also we had some run ins with rogue traveling overseers more than once.
I do not know at this time how many parts I will have in this series- it depends on how much comes tumbling out as I recollect these experiences.
