Urge the US to deregister Jehovah’s witness as a religious community


Urge the US to deregister Jehovah’s witness as a religious community
The Issue
I am a living testament to the distressed victims of the Watchtower Organization. This organization has left a heavy toll on many lives, including mine, in insidious ways that are yet to be fully discerned. Misuse of resources, exploitation of innocent people's faith, and the devastating effects on individuals' lives are just the tip of the iceberg. According to a report by the Center for Investigative Reporting, an allegedly clean organization, concealing multiple lawsuits over mishandled abuse cases stands starkly contrasted. Moreover, the support from the U.S. Government in terms of tax exemption as well as subsidies and grants provided by the government amplifies their actions. It is time to address this issue and call on the U.S. Government to withdraw federal registration that recognizes this organization as a religious community. Your support will mean a step towards justice for the countless victims like me, who have suffered under the organization. The end of this support will be a strong message against institutionalized abuse and the pawning off of such organizations. Your signature will matter. So, sign this petition today and let's bring about the change that we desperately need.
