    Hi everyone.

    My name is Caspian, I am an elder in a Congregation in England.

    I have been reading this forum for about 12 months, never having the confidence to log in.

    However after all the information that has come to light in the recent weeks, I feel that I need to start coming to terms with the crisis that I now feel.

    I am a third gen JW, and been an elder for 15 years, my family whom I love dearly are all naive fully committed JW's.

    Please if any current or ex elders in a similar situation care to make any good advice. please help.

    Sincere regards

    Cas

    Welcome Caspian!

    I came to the board with the same crisis moment in my life last August, and well, I'm no longer in crisis and am the happiest I have ever been. I'm curious to know if the child molestation issues have caused some of your doubt.

    Thanks for the kind words

    Yes that issue has caused me great concern, however there are greater Watchtower issues, many of which are not yet in the public domain which are causing me heartbreak.
