Sick of Lies (ArriveNet Editorials - Apr 28, 2006) -- Jehovah’s Witnesses are famous for their preaching working, going door to door advertising their Watchtower and Awake magazines. They are out spoken advocates of free speech and human rights, and have won numerous battles in the Supreme courts in Canada and the United States. Their bible magazines are the most widely distributed religious literature in the world. In their literature they encourage people to ask questions and look closely at their religion. The Jehovah’s Witnesses claim to be the only true religion in the world and say that all other religions are merely tools of Satan the devil and anyone following them will be destroyed in an up coming holy war called Armageddon.
What they don’t tell people when they are going door to door is that once you join their religion and become baptized in their faith to continue asking questions will lead to disfellowshiping. Once disfellowshiped no one who is a member of the Jehovah’s Witness religion will be allowed to talk to you, not even family members. This practice is designed to keep people from asking questions and just accept everything that comes from the organizations headquarters in Brooklyn, New York.
To demonstrate how justice works in the Jehovah’s Witness religion one of their members decided to orchestrate their own disfellowshiping by going to the leaders in his church and asking them questions about their doctrines such as stating that Jesus began ruling in the heavens in 1914, the fact that they will not reprove members for child abuse unless there are two witnesses and they don’t report these events to the police. After asking the questions the person was called into what the Witnesses call a judicial committee to be questioned by three church leaders.
During this meeting the person was run down for being intelligent and getting an education. The person is told that it is his education that has led him to doubt his faith and that their religion specifically condemns higher education. The leaders met and phone him multiple time spending hours grilling him with questions and in the end disfellowshiping him. When he pulls out his camera at the end he is assaulted by the elders in the church and told to leave the building.
