Big announcement after all DC have ended?
by Quandary ini was told by a reliable source that the organization will be making a "big announcement" at the end of the summer when all the dcs have ended.
has anyone else heard this?

Do you feel you were trapped in a destructive cult?
by mavie ini'm interested in knowing your thoughts on this matter.
do you think the wtbts is a destructive cult?
a destructive cult is defined as "a group which violates the rights of its members and damages them through the abusive techniques of unethical mind control.

Thank you jwfacts, I tend to see the situation similarly. While reading Hassans book "Combating Cult Mind Control" I see time and again extreme examples of destructive cult behavior. JW's do not seem to be fit Hassan’s definition of a destructive cult completely.
He makes the point that one can see a group’s true color by examining the lifestyle of its leaders. Does leadership enjoy lavish surroundings while members toil away with the bare minimum? If JW's can be defined as a destructive cult, is this the end objective of its leaders? Money? For example, Moonie leadership was after political power and money; many other destructive cults had similar aims. What is the JW cult leadership objective, if it exists?

good analysis, 16 hours a week is quite a time investment. Who honestly has the time to do this while working 40 hours a week?
we end up just feeling guilty for not reaching the goals
I always thought that was Will Smith in the lower right corner, and John Lithgow in the lower left.
