The BRCI directors are former Jehovah's Witnesses and committed Christians. All of them discontinued association with Jehovah’s Witnesses because of conscientious disagreements they had with Watchtower teachings. Many were very active within the Watchtower organization for decades and held highly visible, responsible positions, such as Pioneers, Elders, Circuit or District Overseers, or members of the headquarters staff (Bethel Family). Their experience makes them uniquely qualified to discuss Watchtower teachings and practices intelligently and with insight. Most BRCI directors (though not all) are affiliated with traditional churches. All have proven over many years that they are willing to go out of their way to help others. They have also shown an ability to talk to others and discuss issues kindly (some of which are highly emotional and of deep and immediate personal impact), without imposing their views.
