Why are they afraid to look at opposing information to theirs if they are so sure they have the real 'truth'? Especially that of supposed 'apostates'? If they have the truth, they should be able to defend against any apostate information. How else could they help those have turned to apostates?

This is controlling it's 'sheep'. Is it completely impossible that your religion is also false? How could you know if you are only allowed to look at one side?

If anyone tells you that you shouldn't look at opposing information to theirs, something is wrong. The real truth will stand up to any scrutiny.

And how is it that Jehovah's Witnesses can call ones who leave their religion 'apostates' and treat them worse than 'worldy' people, when Jehovah's witnesses have said:

Would pride or stubbornness prevent you from admitting that you are on the wrong road? Well, then, if you learn from an examination of your Bible that you are traveling a wrong religious road, be willing to change.

It is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and to show that another religion is false.

- The Watchtower, Nov. 15, 1963, p.688

And why do they shun those who have left when they have said this:

No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and family...Does study of the Bible lead to family breakup? No.

- Awake! July 9, 2009 page 29

It would be hard to say they don't treat them poorly when they said this:

apostates are 'mentally diseased', and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings. - We do not receive them into our homes or greet them. We also refuse to read their literature, watch TV programs that feature them, examine their Web sites, or add our comments to their blogs. Why do we take such a firm stand? Because of love.

- The Watchtower July 15, 2011 p. 16

Additionally, why are they afraid to look at apposing information to theirs if they are so sure they have the real 'truth'? Especially that of supposed apostates? If they have the truth, they should be able to defend apostate information. This is controlling it's 'sheep'.
