Cameo-d: I came across that information while I was researching the organization. There are people out there convinced that the WT is a cover for much bigger things, but it itself is only a small piece of the whole picture. Whatever the case, it is used to control people, take away their independence and personal power, and weaken the family bond so that the attachment is to the organization and not family. It is also a huge force in keeping patriarchal power in place; hence the misogyny and suppression of women.
I was always under the impression that a footnote was supposed to provide some factual documentation or reason, not an "evidently" made up stuff.
As much as footnotes should provide factual information so should the quotes that they put in their publications, and the experiences they present as factual. Evidently, they don’t. They all reek of bs - with good reason. They should sell fertilizer.
