Jehovah’s Witnesses are justifiably proud that the Watchtower Society (their headquarters organization) has probably done more to guarantee free speech than any other religion.
They have won 37 of their 46 U.S. Supreme Court cases, assuring us all of freedom of speech and assembly and equal protection under the law. The sad irony is that the Watchtower Society *daily* abuses the human rights of thousands of its members.
It denies current members the right of free speech by forbidding them to speak to former members, even close family members. And it denies former members their right of freedom of worship by refusing to allow them to leave the religion with dignity, should they come to disagree with Watchtower’s practices or doctrines.
The ‘religion’ of Jehovah’s Witnesses is a dangerous cult that controls every aspect of its members’ lives.
