If you are looking for references to support claims made regarding one of our flyers, you’ve come to the right place. Unfortunately the claims that are made are true and supported by the links below to various articles and videos, straight from Jehovah’s Witnesses, or news organizations. While Jehovah’s Witnesses are generally trying to be kind and honest people, the unfortunate reality is that the organization and doctrine that dominates their lives is rather destructive. Our goal is to raise awareness so that people at least have some idea of what they are truly getting involved with. After all, you would read the reviews on Amazon and heed warnings before purchasing a new gadget, so it is all the more important to know the dark side of something that will affect your relationships with others, with yourself, and ultimately every aspect of your life.
Below you’ll find a number corresponding to the number on the flyer that you picked up. You may find one link to a comprehensive article to support the claims, or you may find multiple links but they will be in order of the points made.
