Monty expressing regret that he didn't "follow through on my question 'what about the daughters?'".
In hindsight, wishes he'd asked about welfare of the daughters. Believes that any elder would do that.

He is defending the watchtower better then the "real" elders :P -

McClellan, "One of the conclusions available [about secrecy over pedophile cases] is that the hierarchy of the church would be embarassed if allegations of this type had got out."
Monty explains that public image is important to JWs, attracts people into religion, and it would be damaging to come out. Expresses doubt about numbers cited by commission.
McClellan explains those are church's own files.
Just personal thing, but think this poor man still is partly in the JW way of thinking even after 20+ years out. Lot of empathy for that. Was only over past year I've woken up after 20 years out too. Things which shouldn't be were still 'normal'. But he's still a human voice after those drone elders.

Monty is very supportive of JW doctrine in many areas, such as his comment that the Watchtower not permitting women elders is a bible principle that in no way diminishes their value. Interesting that he never fully moved on, even though he claims to have tried to block everything about it from his memory.

Is he still somewhat indoctrinated??
He seem to still belief the JW interpretation of the bible and their teachings..
