    Great video for showing how to define a cult

    I agree, it fits the organization like a glove!

    A picture of a Kingdom Hall with that cheap looking JW.ORG sign on the front would fit right in.

    Thank you, I'll pass this on to my few ex-jw family members. 😊

    Yeah, fits JW's pretty close. I like that the video was only 6 minutes.

    Interesting that "cults" are not limited to religious groups!

    I just posted that to my facebook page. I have been vocal to my friends and family about needing to teach our children about the danger of cults, ( all forms). I don't ever "name names" but focus on the tactics.

    Bungi I can't edit my post for some reason, but think herbalife, or amway, those are also cults. There are also political cults. Theramin trees has a good your tube video about cult behavior. They even have one , I think called easter egg, about meeting with JWs

    I once read a Cracked article by an ex-bodybuilder, who describes that subculture the same way.

    Omg, those people are so stupid! I would never join a cult just to get free kool aid.
