For me there are many obvious issues, but the big one is........
The big daddy of the universe, the father of all this incredible creation, is not about to annihilate everybody who is not a member of this late 1800's American religion, Jehovah's Witnesses.
That's it for me.
What is YOUR big issue?
that there is no room for mental illness....what about the developmentally disabled???? do they come under the protection of their parents??? and if their parents are dead,,,are they welcomed into the new system then told sorry....your son,,,who does not know up from down,,,,did not make it into paradise because he had a brain disorder,,,,,couldn't learn the truth and get baptized so god killed him at armageddon....
there is so much wrong with all of this....
Their complete arrogance in demanding that they alone have the truth of the bible, and the fact that you have to agree with what ever they say, and if you don't, they will kick you out with the likelyhood your old friends and family will never speak to you again. So loving!!!
That "the truth" isn't true.
The 2 witness rule to sexual abuse......and the fact they are killing people with their teachings.
That they take over and hold hostage your conscience, telling you what to think.
(Sorry guys that I accidently created two threads with the same topic. The software somehow split it. I've asked the mods to merge them.)
In a word: CONTROL
1: the tearing apart of families; mine in particular.
2: the demonizing of higher education.
Just one issue? That's hard. There are so many.
I'd have to say the control issue, the stuff that makes them a mind-control cult. Their doctrine would be no more or less flimsy than any other minority religion* if only they weren't hellbent on controlling the Behavior, Information, Thoughts, and Emotions of the members.
