Cults and Skepticism: How one ex Jehovah's Witness fell into the
'trap of independent thinking'
Historically the purview of atheist, secular, and humanist
organisations, Ms. Finch wants to expose the workings of these
cults to the scientific and skeptical communities and show why
although, Jehovah's Witnesses are considered a small fringe
religion, their policies should concern the wider community.
Lydia Finch was born and raised a Jehovah's Witness (JW), but left
the organisation at age 18 over twenty years ago. Recently, she has
directed her attention to the harmful practices of JWs and other
cults, such as shunning, child abuse, and the forbidding of blood
transfusions.
