The Jehovah's Witnesses Wall of Shame
The Watchtower cult has acknowledged that its organization is rotten with disgraceful immoral behavior.  “Shocking as it is, even some who have been prominent in Jehovah’s organization have succumbed to immoral practices, including homosexuality, wife swapping, and child molesting. It is to be noted, also, that during the past year, 36,638 individuals had to be disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation, the greater number of them for practicing immorality.” (Watchtower January 1, 1986 page 13)
Even Today, the shameful and immoral behavior still continues in the cult.
