Jan asked Richard Gardner:

Hi have you looked into Jehovah's witnesses they are a cult they keep their members captive with shunning I was one look up Australian royal commission to get an insight . do you think there's a story in this?

Richard Gardner Hi Jan, to answer your second question, there are many ex followers who have written accounts of their experiences as Jehovah's Witnesses. The sect attracts many people but, there is a very high turnover. Many fall by the wayside for a variety of reasons. Until recently followers had to do a certain amount of Witnessing a month. That meant knocking on doors and trying to tempt householders into joining the sect. This has now changed and JWs are now more likely to be seen standing on street corners holding a bundle of Watchtower magazines to distribute to the public. Are you considering writing a story yourself?
