Initially it is the love bomb from the elders and the cong. Then it is wanting to belong and be part of something. To be accepted. To be called bro or sis. Then position.

Will Jehovah's Witnesses ever form a SECT?
by Fisherman inunlike all other religions including jews, mormons, and sda, there is only one jw movement.
indivuduals that leave the wts cannot organize another jw like religion.
i think that another jw religion would get the wts very angry.

UNlike all other religions including Jews, Mormons, and sda, there is only one jw movement. Indivuduals that leave the wts cannot organize another jw like religion. Why? I think that another jw religion would get the wts very angry. Anyway, will jws ever form a reform jw or any other sectarian religion?

Given: The God of the Bible
I think that God is all knowing. He knows everything before it happens and He knows thoughts too. God knows everything at any point in time. All things are exposed to him. He knows what the angels think ever before the angels think it.
God knew that Satan would sin in my opinion even before he created the angel that became satan. He also knows the choices people will make even before they are born because he is almighty, he can not only choose to know but in fact he knows whether he chooses or not.
Simply put, there is nothing that God does not know

Arabs are human too no? and so are Iraquis. ALL such like that go to the US prosper. The problem is not the people but goverment and religion. Of all iraquis were allowed to immigrate to a westerm country, they would all adapt to the west and love it.

The Police do not believe in this rubish, but they may entertain someone claiming knowledge of the incident, even if such is a psychic nut. When things are dry, they go fishing. Who knows what they will catch?

Sadam was lynched. The purpose of killing Sadam was to make it known to all who dare to defy the USA that the US may invade you and overthrow you and bring you down and humiliate you and kill you and your family. Beware! that you do not wind up like Sadam.
AS for the crimes against humanity that SAdam was found guilty of doing,why didnt the superpowers do anything in the past to stop those crimes from taking place? Why wasnt the things on tv now about what sadam did in the past made public in the past? If the judges of all sovereinties knew about it then it was their duty to do something about it. Why did the Shah get special treatment when he was also acuused of similar attrocities? Anyway, "we got the oil." That is what really counts.

Some years ago I saw a cartoon in the Daily News showing the RED SEA parted and Moses in front crossing the Sea. Moses had a serious look on his face but was wearing a kiddy life preserver with a big smile.
The wts doesnt take any chances either.

Post your favorite saying
by Scully ini was just pondering how the wts has, for over a century, been able to convince people to do what is contrary to their best interests with fear tactics that armageddon is coming soon, and i came up with what is going to be my pet phrase for a while:.
"only religion has the power to compel people to embrace sheer stupidity in the name of faith.
" ~ scully, december 28, 2006. i googled it, and didn't see that anyone else has claimed it, so until someone else finds an attribution for it, i'm claiming it as my own.
