C'è un commento su Bergman, fatto da un TdG, secondo il quale Bergman non sarebbe uno psicologo.
E' interessante la risposta che è stata data dal diretto interessato, il dott. Bergman, a queste critiche:

E' anche interessante notare che il critico a cui Bergman risponde, dopo questa confutazione delle sue affermazioni (che hanno l'intento di screditare la persona anziché confutarne gli argomenti), in una successiva edizione delle sue critiche ha tolto il riferimento alle mancate o dubbie credenziali come psicologo di Bergman.
Prima edizione:
Any Jehovah's Witness that has extensively explored the web has no doubt stumbled upon a Dr. Gerald Bergman's writings. Mr. Bergman is often referred to as "Dr. Jerry Bergman" or "Jerry Bergman, Ph.D."
Mr. Bergman was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness but seemingly could not abide by its standards. He has now made it his life's work to write rather long and shallow "scholarly" treatises concerning Jehovah's Witnesses and various topics.
While it is true that Mr. Bergman holds a doctorate in some type of discipline, possibly educational psychology (at least that is as specific as I could discern), he has had quite a few problems in his academic life. He now teaches at some small technical school named "Northwest Technical College." One fact that he never seems to mention about himself is his troubles with the academic world and his peers. He previously was denied tenure from Bowling Green State University for reasons that included his ethics, teaching, quality of publications and relevance of publications to his teaching. Interestingly enough, he sued the University claiming that he was discriminated against due to his failure to obtain tenure. He has stated that the reason for his failure was attributable to academic discrimination concerning his ardent creationist teachings. The court did not agree with him.

While Mr. Bergman’s curriculum vitae is certainly extensive, he has had quite a few problems in his academic life. These problems most likely contributed to his employment at a small school named “Northwest State Community College.” One fact that he never seems to mention in his writings concerning Jehovah’s Witnesses is the criticism of his methods and conclusions in such research from the academic world and his peers. In fact, he previously was denied tenure from Bowling Green State University for reasons that included his ethics, teaching, quality of publications and relevance of publications to his teaching. Interestingly enough, he sued the University claiming that he was discriminated against due to his failure to obtain tenure.
