Why don't you write a Wiki article on JW? It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

I find wikipedia to be reliable on historical, political and religious subjects as well as technical, scientific, mathy and philosophical subjects. In addition, everything pop-culture related like tv, comics, and videogames is quite detailed (although tvtropes is better for them).

There may be other subjects but I don't seem to care about them.

Yes, but when it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses in particular, Wikipedia's policy seems to be a double standard. When posting major doctrines and tenets of Jehovah's Witnesses their policy does not allow even citing bible references as the source for our beliefs. They paint the picture that the tenets and doctrine come from men and not from God's word.

You seem to assume that The Bible is a reputable source.
