In the thread about the WT in Russia, Maze made the assertions below.
Jehovah's Witnesses as an organization acts as a protection to the family unit.
And
The lie that Jehovah's Witnesses ruin families is apostate poison.
To aviod derailing that thread, I ask Maze to defend them here.
My experience is that the jw religion destroyed my brothers' marriage. Both he and his wife were responsible, compatible people who did everything in their power to preserve a stable relationship for their children.
But when one partner belongs to a religion which claims to be absolutely right, and teaches contempt for the rest of the world, how can you compromise? Can a jw parent allow their child freedom to choose? Can they really respect their partners' right to believe differently?
I cannot address the more direct ruina of families when disfellowshipped members must be shunned as I lack the personal experience, but hope that others will do so.
For the sake of lurkers this must be highlighted.
Maze, your quoted statements are not true. The jw religion does destroy families .
