    The JW organisation has ruined a lot of families. I know one person who is basically thinking about becoming one, I don't have a problem with them individually I just don't agree with the elders or what they preach. The door-to-door stuff doesn't even bother me, there's something seriously more concerning about that religion lol.

    The fact they refuse blood transfusions is weird. I wonder how many have died needlessly from that simple fact alone.

    The people are nice.

    But their beliefs are stupid. Especially the ones around blood transfusions. Those beliefs kill people.

      China have been stealing and selling organs from prisoners since 1999, after the great purge of the Falun Gong / Falun Dafa.

      edit: possibly even before that.

      You can hear the opposite side from almost any ex-JW, if the people who left are calling it a cult then maybe that should tell you something.
