AvoidJW’s Mission
This website’s mission is to reveal documents and publications considered “confidential” by religious leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses, with the intent of promoting honesty, justice, and transparency – Matthew 24:45; Mark 4:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Peter 3:3.
It is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as harmful and secretive, thus allowing persons to see the difference between harmful and harmless religion. To make public exposure of harmful religious practices is certainly of more value than exposing a news report as being untrue; it is a public service instead of a religious persecution and it has to with the life and happiness of the public. Still it leaves the public free to do what they will with the information. – Adapted from The Watchtower 1963, November 15.
