Reclaimed Voices has taken note of the Expert Opinion written by three religious scholars at the request of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Netherlands. This opinion is part of the response of the Jehovah's Witnesses after they became aware of the content of the report Sexual abuse and willingness to report within the community of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The reaction of the Jehovah's Witnesses, together with the Expert Opinion and the letter from Minister Dekker to the Second Chamber, can be found on the website of the National government.

There has been a lot of fuss among (former) Jehovah's Witnesses because these experts would regularly defend all kinds of cults and sects. In our opinion, this fuss derives from the content of the Expert Opinion that deserves a serious substantive response. That is why a substantive reaction can be downloaded below:
