Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses-Critical Thinkers » Critical Thought Podcast
As we present the facts about our personal experience with the Watchtower, Bible & Tract Society (the "Society"), we challenge individuals to use critical thinking when examining the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, the group that follows the leadership of the Society. We encourage you to do research and not blindly accept everything the Society tells you. Learn about the history of this organization so you can make informed decisions that are in your own best interests.
