Men like the ones who started this cult were aware how to mentally manipulate venerable people and exploit them to their advantage.
When there is a proclamation made that God has chosen them exclusively and all other men who have proclaimed the very same thing are false, that's a clear indication that a cult is about to be created by these opportunistic self serving manipulators.

Yes! It should be a warning bell when they say:
"We ALONE are God's channel of communication..." as written in the publications, (and then deny that very same claim when questioned by the authorities such Jackson did with the Australian Royal Commission!)

If you give addicts or cultists the chance to define their label, they will usually give you a definition that is everything they personally are not. Alcoholic means somebody who drinks alone. Cultist is somebody who follows a single leader. And so on.
Us defining it is just keeping that problem going. "Apostates said___, so it's false." "Prohibitionists said ___, so I'll disregard it."
Good news--we don't have to. There are official definitions of these things. :)

You know it's a cult when you are told by your elders that you will lose your "appointment" if you dare attend a wedding of a sister who is marrying a guy who is not yet baptised, but was raised in the truth!
Yes, that level of control and interference in others lives is a clear sign of a cult like group.

Under no circumstance are you to go to the police as we do not want Jehovah's name brought into it when a mentally ill brother threatened to kill us.
