“Here a quote from my book, Judgment Day Must Wait, N.Y., 2013-2017, p. xiii:
"Although the present investigation is motivated at a personal level and, therefore some could perceive as a personal vendetta, this is not the intention. Still, I recognize, of course, that my exposition is engaged and often critical; this has been impossible to avoid. Maybe I come closest to my motives when I write that my investigation has been motivated from a heartfelt surprise over what human beings, in spite of any reason, can be brought to believe in and fight for—even martyrdom!
As a phenomenon, the Jehovah’s Witnesses are hugely well known—far beyond what the movement’s size warrants. Their history is at the same time extremely interesting, fascinating and frightening. Psychologically speaking, however, the movement’s own self-understanding is enormously exaggerated. From a world perspective it is largely inconsequential, and therefore, its importance must be acknowledged for its value to the individuals who—to have
order and meaning in their lives—engage themselves in its community and
activities."
This quote is from the Introduction, p. xiii.”
