I don’t take issue with anything else and I can sympathize with his feelings and opinions on the JWs. I happen to know a few ex-JWs, my dad’s wife and her kids. They were broken by the organization and knowing their story gave me a heart for those still in the religion. Of course, my heart is to reach them with the historic Gospel of Christ.
As to the show, I think he ... more

As the daughter of parents that believed this was the true way to worship God, learning how they manipulate people into this belief is enlightening. I wish I had discovered it earlier.
