A former member of the Jehovah's Witnesses church in Mozambique, in the province of Inhambane, denounces acts practiced by the leaders such as child abuse, manipulation of justice and espionage, as well as being banned from attending higher education.

On the subject of child abuse, he said that one of the cases uncovered, involving the governing body of the top leadership, ended up in the Australian Royal Court in 2015.

"More than 900 cases of child abuse were concealed by the organization and had to be brought to justice," he revealed.

The whistleblower, who had been linked to the sect for 12 years and worked in the translation department, was allegedly fired from the organization after discovering the occult practices.

"The organization was trying to manipulate Norwegian justice by trying to erase some evidence, in this case two videos about the disassociation process within the organization. In this process, they were trying to omit the truth from the courts by trying to erase two videos that were going to be presented during a regional congress last year," he said.

He said that he took the videos and published them because he saw the need to expose the truth.

"I ended up with a file that indicated the existence of spies within the organization, who monitor forums of those who are called apostates. With that information I was able to see that there are spies within the organization," he said.

Regarding the prohibitions on attending higher education, the whistleblower said that the organization uses the argument of serving the devil when the course is finished. "So one way of not serving the devil is to try to avoid going to university, an instrument used by the devil to shape people."

He revealed that because of his stance of not cooperating, he had received threats, including consequences for his family.

"One of the times they said that if I didn't give them my cell phone or unlock it I wouldn't be able to leave. They wanted to check everything inside so they could leave me," he said.

The head of the organization in the Massinga district of Inhambane referred comments to the directorate in the country's capital, Maputo.

"I have nothing to do with that part. You should call our office in Maputo," he said. (Source: TV Sucesso. Photo: JW.Org)
