Three years ago? That may be so, but I only read it a few months ago - am I excused? I read the Reachout response a few months before I read the actual article, and since Reachout neglected to provide a like to the artical they were condemning I did not come across the page at that time. In any case, I suspect that you are not so concerned about the age of various accusations made a against Jehovah's Witnesses.

Cesnur may well have their own bias, but that is something that should be proved rather than simply asserted. What should matter is whether there is substance to the claims Stephen Hunt has made, not his reasons for making them. I am a Jehovah's Witness: my bias is clear, how can you suggest I have hidden anything in this respect? And you, of course, are without bias, I presume.

Here is what I find even more worrying than the serious charges made against Reachout of playing up to racial bias. When I tried to initiate a discussion on this issue on the Reachout forum my posts were deleted and I was told that the topic was not appropriate. Reachout claim they was open debate, in reality they are only interested in debate in so far as it concerns their opponents. It is fine, for instance, to claim that Jehovah's Witnesses purposely support Satantists, that they put hidden images in their literature or are in cahoots with Freemasonry. All of those unsubstantiated claims are fine with Reachout. But quote quote a comment from an outside source against Reachout and invite discussion on the issue and you are censored immediately.
