It was Watchtowers journalistic dishonesty that was my first clue that they really didn't value factual truth.
At a district convention (organized by WT) one brother from each attending congregation was given a ''press release'' to take back to local newspapers in their espective teritories, to garner free local PR.
It was just a printed infomercial for the cult extolling the numbers in attendance. It was made to appear as an interview including a longwinded quote - to which we brothers were supposed to fill in our own names as the source of the quote!
They not only orchestrated this deception but expected to foist it off on unsuspecting local newspapers.
