what are some of the red flags that should alert people to the fact that jehovah's witnesses are a high control and damaging religion?.
one that comes to mind is.
1. one cannot leave jehovah's witnesses with one's reputation intact.
One cannot leave Jehovah's Witnesses with one's reputation intact
Even if you stay, who has a perfect reputation from gb down to joe pub 3rd class? And maybe not in public. But everybody is human so nobody is any better. Some have better self control than others. There is a difference between being wicked and being weak. In public and formally there is an appearance. So do you care in the least what people think about you. Don’t you believe in God can exalt you and humiliate others?

the Bible is “magical”
It is not Rome because the great tribulation and Armageddon did not happen and neither did Rome suffer the same fate as BTG.

superstitious belief
If that is the case, end of discussion.
Now, if we consider that the Bible is the word of God as a given factor, then we are looking for values of variables such as the meaning of BTG using the entire Bible as an equation
Since we already know the answer when we consider the Bible is a sham, we are not trying to validate the Bible in this equation. That is a different equation —and subject —and being a troll —and disruptive. The book of Revelation describes the fall of Babylon the great, the great tribulation, Armageddon, the Millennium, Resurrection of the dead, etc.
Start your own topic about the validity of the Bible. Your comments would be relevant under that subject.

Rome
Rome did not suffer the fate of BTH therefore not Rome.
jehovah's witnesses refuse to believe that jesus is the almighty god.
they would state that jesus is 'mighty', but not almighty.. below is a 30 minute video proving from the word of god that the lord jesus christ is both mighty and almighty, separate from the father but equal too.. the verses used from scripture show without a doubt that christ is mighty (isaiah 9:6) and almighty (rev 1:7-8)..
Jesus is the Almighty God.

Greetings Kosonen!
Of course , Revelation says it’s a mystery and doesn’t disclose her identity— but if the shoe fits…. Another hint the book gives is “her spiritistic practices” so that wouldn’t imply pure worship.
There are only 2 candidates described in the Bible fitting the bill: secular and religious. Since Daniel and Armageddon describes world rulers suffering a different fate, it seems to be religious.

It didn’t happen because their religious superstitions were unfounded. As are yours.
Scripture says so. Not me.
But again that is immaterial. The subject is: what does BTG symbolize, and that her identity as “world empire of false religion” is plausible.

Wrong
Maybe not but immaterial.
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven…”And don’t forget the stone from heaven that strikes the feet of the image and not one empire or kingdom or whatever you like to call that world empire. That didn’t happen. The destruction of Babylon didn’t happen either. The point that I was replying to in your remark was WT choice of words to describe false religion aka the world empire of false religion vis-à-vis the political image in Daniel’s book which has a different fate than BTG.

The term is nonsense invented by the Watch Tower Society in 1963
Call her whatever you like. For example, the image in Daniel refers to all political empires. BTG refers to all false religions. “A rose by any other name…”
