Chapter 1: In the beginning was the word. Jehovah's Witnesses, alongside Scientology and Mormons, represent the image of the sect, as denounced by the official authorities fighting against sectarian excesses in the 1990s, following the mass suicides of the Order of the Solar Temple in Switzerland, France and Canada. Of course, we are familiar with this movement's insistent, even clingy, proselytism of duos who are clean-cut and come to knock on our door. We sometimes smile at it, but this community also arouses a deep fear in us; that of one day perhaps letting ourselves be seduced and becoming part of a group of brainwashed people, refusing blood transfusions even on the verge of death, isolated from the rest of society to the point of cutting themselves off from their own family members. To complete the picture, the movement recently had to explain cases of pedophilia that had been hushed up internally, and in February 2021, the French Interior Ministry warned about the abusive proselytism it carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
