Now if you want we can talk of sociologist and Cesnur.
We will see that it is a small world too.
We have a french's sociologist called Regis Dericquebourg, specialised in the study of the JW's movement.
He is accused of being to sympathetic to cult as scientology, or JW.

Here is the Curiculum Vitae of Dericquebourg, you can find that:
"Organisation de la journée d’étude des jeunes chercheurs français sur le
Jéhovisme : Exposés de Arnaud Blanchard (Ecole normale de Cachan), Philippe
Barbey (doctorant EPHE), Vincent Primault (doctorant EPHE) avec Alain Garay
(juriste) et Régis Dericquebourg (psychosociologue), organisée à l’Iresco le 6
décembre 2001, Jean-Paul Willaime, directeur du Groupe de Sociologie des
Religions et de la Laïcité."
This is the french's reunion of specialist in the study of JW in December 2001. You have seen that Garay has made a speech and Dericquebourg a pro-cultist too, but now, i would like to introduce you Philippe Barbey.
A men, who has written a book regarding JW, called 'The Jehovah's witnesses, for an original christianism"... In this book, you will not find a line of criticism against JW, very surprising isn't it.
Arnaud Blanchard, cited in the reunion, has made a review of his book, in polite manner, he said that the work of Barbey is nothing more than a b... of sh....

"Le livre apporte peu
d’éléments nouveaux sur le mouvement de la
Tour de Garde et souffre d’insuffisances de
style notables, telle la surabondance de citations
non référencées. En outre, la démarche
globale du document est ambiguë dans la
mesure où – à défaut d’avoir construit sociologiquement
son objet – l’auteur ne manifeste pas
de distance critique à l’égard des croyances et
des argumentaires énoncés par le groupe étudié.
À de multiples reprises, il reproduit et avalise
sans examen les propositions (théologiques en
particulier) des Témoins de Jéhovah de telle
manière que l’analyse est éclipsée par le travail
de persuasion."
To make simple, he said that Barbey made a work of proselytism, that Barbey has no distance with the subject, in clear, Barbey is a JW.
Another time, why it is dangerous ? You can find this book in some public library as reference work. The reader will not know that Barbey is a JW, and that his colleague have found that his work is stupid.
