As more and more Jehovah’s Witnesses are waking up to the realization that the Watchtower organization is not “the truth”, more are voicing their concerns and explaining their position to friends and family members. Here is an example of a recent post on the ex-jw discussion group of Reddit an online forum, which at the time of the writing of this article boasts of over 68,000 members:
As one who has faded from the organization, I resonated with so many of the statements made in this letter and found it extremely validating. This organization uses the love of family members and friends as weapons to threaten whistleblowers into silence in order to protect itself from exposure. How could this possibly be deemed Christian behavior?
On the contrary, this was a tactic used by first century religious leaders to silence Christians! (John 9:20-22)
It takes courage because there is so much at stake, but it’s time to stand up and speak up.
