    No wonder they have a very high turnover of dis-satisfied members , a high number of suicides compared to mainstream religions , a high number of phsychological disorders among members .

    TOTALITARIANISM is something we normally associate with political regimes , communism , fascism ,etc.etc.

    It should also apply to reigions that have "high control "strategys , that keep the members cocooned in their beleif system.

    Discouraging members from getting information outside their control. as though information is wrong . You should be able ,using your God given brain to decide whether information you receive is beneficial or not . Not to be dictated too by a group of old men in america. Dictating how they should dress , at conventions , what clothes they should wear at conventions while sightseeing as a tourist/convention visitor

    Repetition , repetition , repetition , of questions AND answers supplied by the society of meetings , pre-study of meetings , personal bible study using the societys publications , the discouragement of higher education for young ones , the discouragement of socialising with people who are not jehovahs witnesses , the pressure to do door to door witnessing with a minimum hour goal , and pre-study for that as well , and the encouragement to get baptised at a young age so we can have more control over you, for once you are baptised we can blackmail you to be submissive to our demands ,or be shunned by your own family members, as well as freinds you have made , the choice is yours.

    Do you want to take control of your own life ?

    Or do you want your life to be controlled by a group of men in the USA !

    totalitarian regimes? I had this terrible thought: what was at the motto welded in the iron gates to the "work" camps?

    arbeit macht frei ?

    Freedom through work?

    salvation comes through service?

    I do not want to be disrespectfull to those that perished there.

    The Borg is like Big Brother in Orwell's 1984.
    Reading the book again is eye-opening! The WTS is as Orwellian as it gets.

    Fact is, any group can be led by totalitarian means.

    ANY time an opinion is cut off or demonized, there is totalitarianism.

    ANY one lording over free speech practices totalitarianism.

    ANY group that refuses to let in critique to themselves practices totalitarianism.

    This is true for the Borg, but it can be true for any group that controls information.

    Too right Vince, and all such groups should be avoided if you value your freedom and wish to keep your self respect.

    Most Cults use all those methods, and anything else that gives them control.

    The WT is a high control, mind control group, using totalitarian methods. Period.

    I was just watching a public talk given by Judge Rutherford (1938 Face the Facts). He was going on about the World Governments becoming Totalatarian and how Britain and America would follow suit. He mentioned the idea so many times throughout his talk that I checked Wikipedia to get a better idea of what this meant.

    When i looked it up I was surprised to see how the description actually describes the WT religion. As the name suggests it is the idea of taking total control over the persons life, including social and private aspects, including the way they think.

    They have been so clever in warning it's followers of the dangers of such rulership and in the meantime do that very thing themselves.

    Of course, this kind of control betrays insecurity.
    Not being able to agree to disagree openly is a sign of weakness.

    Illustration:
    Coca~Cola deleting any Pepsi arguement instead of openly discussing it.
    It would make the public doubt that Coca~Cola is actually capable of having a valid argument.
    Of course, if the Pepsi's opinion is deleted, Coke wins dishonestly by default.
    That, is totalitarian control.

    This is the case with the WTS and apostates.
    Shut the apostates up and delete them, then control the information.

    Alas, I have seen this done by many other group/site leaders of different opinions to control information.
