To gain adherents, the Witnesses maintain their group is a brotherhood where “true” Christian love exists; where members are superior in morals and values than adherents are in other religions—Witness beliefs make for better husbands, better wives and better children—so members insist. Without a doubt, negative publicity would spoil that carefully crafted image and hamper conversion to the religion. Insular religions such as Jehovah’s Witnesses are communities closed to “worldly gaze,” who do not want others to know they are not how they portray themselves to outsiders. They are like dysfunctional families who keep family secrets out of a misguided sense of loyalty, not wanting neighbors to know what really goes on behind closed doors.
This is revealing.
This is also the reason that Jw's will almost 100% refuse to believe the truth in this matter. They have tucked the blinders in so close, that the truth is impossible for them to see. To them - this is all lies. Like it is often to those who, in a dysfunctional household, are unable to see it's very dysfunctionality.
