This article is written by my good friend, and first JW boyfriend (we were 17), Jesse Stapleton. I've known about it for years, but I just re-found it, and I wanted to share it with y'all.

I'm impressed with his writing style! He is to the point, articulate.

His reasoning is an understandable response to the JW bullshit.

He's very smart. That's one of the things we bonded over - being nerds. lol

Thehotone4u2: I did the survey! The premise was that JW's are 16 times more likely to suffer from mental illness, and this is caused by social stress at work. I opine that it's because the JW's attract mentally ill people! Feb 14, 2019 0:28:23 GMT -7
