Jan Groenveld

Jan Groenveld (1945 – 22 October 2002) was a former member of the LDS Church and the Jehovah's Witnesses. She spent a total of fifteen years in these organizations before leaving them in 1975. After her negative experiences in these organizations, she resolved to make more information about what she saw as "cults" available to the general public.

Her personal experiences involving these groups were featured in Richard Guilliatt's book, Talk of the Devil.

Groenveld coined the often quoted phrase:

The most dangerous lie is that which most closely resembles the truth.
