«… Jehovah's Witnesses describe themselves as people who read the Bible and rely on the Scriptures as the ultimate authority. In fact, they do not read the Bible much on their own, limiting themselves to reviewing individual verses that are quoted in Watchtower literature. They build their faith not on what they themselves read in the Bible, but on what it says, according to the leaders...
