    lol, it's a list of 100, it can only be even numbers, unless you say, well, half a point there. lol

    here's the ones i don't think they fit.

    #36 although they have judicial commities, it's not a "confession session"

    #41 although they are misled and power drunk, i don't think they are mentally ill. stupid and manipulative maybe.

    #51 this ones iffy

    #54 no front groups, everyone is expected to "share in the wonderful field service arrangement"

    #56 there are those doing right, and "the other ones"

    #65 i don't see any charisma in the governing body

    #87 you don't really get to channel god, only the society does

    #95 nah

    #96 nah

    #97 maybe after someone dies, but, not while alive

    #99 they do associate with the outside world, albeit to get new members and are cautious

    #100 will never happen. the gravy train is too good.

    I served on too many JCs. It is confession, I don't care what anyone says.

    #41 although they are misled and power drunk, i don't think they are mentally ill.

    Hmmmmmmmm. Delusion is a form of mental illness.

    nvr, how dare you defy me, didn't you read rule 1? lol yeah, i know your confessing, but, i think if you read the description, it means like, you sit in a group and confess to everyone on a regular basis. maybe i'm wrong, but, that's what i got out of it. maybe the society needs to tell me how i should feel on this.

    Hey. Don't feel bad. Most don't realize that's what JCs are all about. I didn't till it dawned on me one day while I was on the platform giving a talk about it. LOL!

    There's a poster on here that goes by Confession. He's really into this point. Pm him, and you can have some nice discussions with him about it.

    If it smells like a CULT, walks like a CULT, it is a CULT. I'm just waiting for Jim Jones to show up at a KH with the Kool Aid!!!!!!!!

    I was in for 20 years, they use FEAR to keep people in and you can't ask questions. Committee matters are a Joke, Preaching is a Joke, but they are good at FEAR, how many times did you hear the line "if you want Jehovah's blessing you need to............." Empty promises,they are a FRAUD
