It's always a pleasant surprise to see one of my images being used to illustrate an article on the Guardian website, especially about this particular bunch of religious zealots. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they, and they alone, are "God's chosen people", and that everyone outside the sect is "controlled by Satan". In response to recent accusations of child abuse within the organisation, the Witnesses have taken the path already established by the Catholic Church: blaming the victims and shielding the perpetrators. This is what is likely to happen whenever religious fundamentalists are convinced that they are “answerable only to God"...
