Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they are the only true religion. See http://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/article_08.htm . Hence, all Jehovah's Witnesses speak of their organization as being [http://ed5015.tripod.com/JwElderDavidReed10.htm "The Truth"].
Because of this, many former members feel obligated to inform current Jehovah's Witnesses about "The Truth About The Truth". According to the book [[Crisis_of_Conscience|"Crisis of Conscience]]" by Raymond Franz, there have been many secret policies that have led to the death and harm of countless Jehovah's Witnesses. Yet, because the Watchtower Society forbids the reading of any critical information regarding themselves, most rank and file Jehovah's Witnesses are unaware of the acts committed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Some of these alleged atrocities include:

This led to the rape, torture, and death of thousands of Malawi Jehovah's Witnesses.
The [http://www.silentlambs.org/ coverup of the Watchtower society regarding the policies regarding child molestation] and their policy for covering up any alleged abuse that does not have at least 2 verifiable witnesses to the actual act of molestation.
These are but 3 issues that former Jehovah's Witnesses bring up to current Jehovah's Witnesses in an attempt to help the to see "The Truth About The Truth".
