Someone please help me out here... I was looking for an very excellent article ( I thought it was on Randy Waters site) that talks
about the 4 or five stages of cult development then it's decline. anyway this article seemed to indicate that cults have a "limited Shelf life"
Would not the Wt also have such a limit ? I would really appreciate if someone could post these points please , if you recall the article I speak of .

The WTS is just such a suppressive, suffocating extremely burdensome religion. It's a 'choking' religion.
I see like the 7th Day Adventist Religion is less than 20 years older than WTS. They do believe in an imminent 2nd coming, but put into positives somewhat in 'this' life to such a great degree. (I, myself am not into organized religion any more, ever, ever). I am sure they have their kind of control stuff, extra rules too. But they have schools, hospitals, recognized by the U.N. Have recognized humanitarian work all over the world. Yet have a much greater membership (in U.S. only 7% of their global membership) beyond JWs (about 15 M, baptized people, with other 'adherents' - children? ) Actually, their health by studies is recognized much better - of course, too many rules in that area, but at least no one has to die like JWs regarding blood issue.
Religions will exist always. JWs too. But if people need religion there are so many other religions with some degree of positivity, realistic production, reality of children to just get to be children, respect for education.

I asked again do not cults have" limited shelf life" by the very nature of their intense promises and limited life spans of
their leaders... is the overlapping generation enough to sustain them ? Are not cults a different ball of wax ?

Some people, families, groups NEED Organizations to tell them what to do. It makes them feel secure!

They're called "authoritarian follower-types".
