  If This Isn't A Cult----What Is It????

  by minimus in

  the organization teaches that we leave everyone and everything else behind when we join christianity (also known as the "truth").

  your father, mother, brother and sister all have to be given up to become a "real" christian.

  friends that you grew up that are not of the same religion must be abandoned.

  I think you're right, Minimus. What I know about Rutherford points in that direction.

  It's a con-game that took hold years ago when people (marks) were more trusting and loving. Promoting fear, the leaders (players) were able to branch out state to state and country to country . . .thus establishing the WTBTS of today.

  on wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, under the topic christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

  it states:.

  publicly announced in january of 2001, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses is a legally recognized corporation which distinguishes the religious order known as jehovah's witnesses from the other corporations operated by their organization.

  Is CCJW just one segment of the Society's many corporations or do all JW's come under that title since 2001?

  whether by death, shunning, or some other means: here is a candle in their memory.

  though gone from us, you are not forgotten and you will be forever loved.. for my dad, who killed himself two years ago today:.

  my wife and i have been disassociated for about 2 months now.

  every day in our small town we are being shunned by former friends.

  one in particular annoyed me today.

  I got my first taste of what it was like to be shunned by the JW's some years ago. My wife, who was studying and going to meetings, and I were separated. I was doing everything I could to understand and accept the Witnesses and their ways, for I had everything to lose, my wife and two young beautiful children. I took my family to a JW squaredance; there must have been a couple hundred people there. The JW's in my wife's hall knew me, for I had attended meetings and Bible studys. My wife and I were introduced to several people and things were progressing along fairly smoothly. I even thought this may be a crucial turning point in getting my family back, my wife seemed to actually show me a little attention; today ( a long time ago actually) I know I was grasping at any little bit understanding and love she tossed my way.Well, it didn't long for the word to spread among everyone there that I was not a JW and a possible opposer. The shunning began. I had to endure that atmosphere all night while I took care of my son and daughter; even my wife shyed away from me. I was never so happy to leave a place in my entire life. That was my first taste of their hatred for those who think differently than they do. ( naturally, we divorced )

  *** grunt *** *** grunt *** *** grunt ***.

  as some of you already know, satan pushed me down the stairs the other night and broke my ankle.

  i'm proud to say that the bruises appear to have come to full maturity and are looking very manly.
