    OK they have been calling themselves a religion for decades now, but fundamentalist?

    American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source new!

    fun·da·men·tal·ism (fPronunciation Key Audio pronunciation of "fundamentalism" [P]
    n.
    1. A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.

    They seem that way to me! I think they would like that description. I guess they meant that they were not a part of the fundamentalist movement that seeks to put creation or at least intelligent design into American Schools - Not political you see.

    Lady Lee and OFG - The level of mind control is amazing. Its quite mind boggling to hear a JW come out with total contradictory statements and not even realise it.

    OFG - I'm glad your mother is beginning to think a bit more now.

    Mkr - Bluesbrother and Acadian - Definitely Fundamentalist.

    I think that the WTBTS fits all of the above that they continue to deny.

    They claim to be 'Gods only true religion' but then claim to not be a religion. Is it any wonder that JWs are confused.

    As I said before, I think that they are simply a 'Fundamentalist Religious cult.'

    What I found interesting is talking to the born again christian neighbours I have. They seem to be very similar in practices to the JW but not obviously in beliefs. What I found fascinating was when they absolutely insisted that they are NOT a religion!!!

    They are all the same in that they believe they are better and different to all the other fundamentalist religious cults out there.

    They have and carry a false belief that they are unique and in that they are identical.

    I agree, they are not a religion, they are a cult.

    I posted my comment from work, and now I'm chasing my granddaughter around the house. When I get a chance I'll post more.

    I'm not sure about fundamentalist, but they certainly meet all the criteria of a cult, apart maybe from having one charismatic leader. Instead they have 10, the current gb. If they aren't a religion, then what are they?
