With all the questions being asked as to who can be trusted, I think it is most proper to ask the following questions.
Can Jehovah's Witnesses be trusted?
Can The Watchtower be trusted?
Trusted with what? The Truth of course. The sad answer is that both JWs and The Watchtower will bend, omit, twist, cover over, or otherwise hide any information about their history, beliefs, or activities that might make show them in a less than favorable light.
