Our family was (were?) Jehovah's Witnesses for several years. They have a lot of odd beliefs, but no odder than beliefs of other religions. I burned a bunch of their books in a bonfire once. I guess I am not completely against book-burning. ;-)
I never quite 'got' what JW was all about and I had several friends who were part of it when they were children. I seems creepy to me. All of them talked about sexual abuse and the way incidents are swept under the rug. You would expect that in a paternal organization.
My wife worked for a JW lady who seemed perfectly normal but when her teenage daughter got pregnant the poor girl was kicked out of the JW's in a ceremony and her mother was forbidden to speeak with her for awhile at least. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII dunno, y'know?
