JWLEAKS.ORG is back for 2019 with a Scandal
by jwleaks inyep, we are back after taking some extended time off.. the jwleaks.org website had been archived for some time.
i was concentrating on other jw-related projects in relation to say sorry.. but the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, who no longer claim to be infallible, decided that in their fallibility the best use of 'dedicated funds' would be to launch civil action against me in a us federal court.
to this end watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc., sent their attorneys after me.

by jwleaks inshining a light on reproductive coercion white paper.
“the jehovah’s witness religion i grew up in made me feel immense pressure to maintain my virginity.
i dreaded the prospect of being trapped by a lifelong commitment to a husband in a community that would dictate what we did in the bedroom and i started to realise that i did not belong because i didn’t want to be married or have children in that stifling community.” – ella, victoria, australia.

The JW News Facebook page and SaySorry.org have joined to shine a light on Jehovah's Witnesses and Watch Tower
by jwleaks insaysorry.org and the jw news facebook page, with 16k followers, have joined to 'shine a light' on the watch tower society and those leaders within the jehovah's witness organization that disregard or violate the laws of the land.
it is also our hope that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will "say sorry" by acknowledging their errors and by adopting a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and in a socially responsible manner.. the jw news facebook page was launched in 2011 and has recently undergone a major timeline clean up to remove copyrighted material from the past three years.. facebook.com/jwnews.
