In our old hall we had Mennonite territory that was worked in FS. If you worked in that territory you were asked to not wear alot of makeup or jewelry ,and to wear very modest plain clothing . Most of the women would not speak to you at the door ,men had a better shot talking to another man.
I think it is important for Witnesses to see how some of the other cult religions operate ....When they see others that shun and how it affects families, bend to Elder's authorities ,have fear of being destroyed for going against the belief system ....They can not help but question why they too believe similar things .
On my way out of the JWs something that helped me was seeing a show about cults on TV . Once I saw the similarities between what JWs believed ,and how close it was to this cult religion ...it made me realize I needed to do more research . The main points were the shunning , the belief that everything outside their belief system was evil . The fear which kept a person in even if their conscience was telling them something was wrong . The guilt felt for questioning ....The absolute fear that they would be destroyed at Armegedeon .
At the end of the show there were links to 'Steve Hassons' books and website, and to Freeminds . The points made on that show gave me the much needed strength to go ahead and investigate what I already thought may be the case ......I was raised in a religious cult too.
It was a Dr. Phil show called "The Two Fawns " . Two teenage girls each named Fawn that had escaped the Colorado City Cult of J.Jessop .
