Also do cults carry out mind control? If yes, why do people leave? Shows the issue isn't mind control. But it could be mind manipulation. Then you get back to the issue of is this a secular or a theological problem?
Anna Marina I think another poster had the right idea when he said that elders are human resource managers and watchtower is a corporation (which of course it is). We need to treat it like he multi level marketing fraud it is....if there was a way of dealing with watchtower the corporation, watchtower the “religion” would soon disappear within a generation. Without the cash the management would no longer have the power (Jwbroadcast, the books, magazines and lawyers to steal their Kingdom Halls)to effect cruelty on JWs.
