CULT CULT CULT
by minimus ini have read many opinions about jw's being a cult.a dictionary describes cult as a system of religious beliefs and ritual .. some have viewed even major religions as a cult, such as the roman catholic church.based upon webster almost anybody or anything that is viewed as ritualistic could be said to be cultic.when someone tries to negate jehovah's witnesses by using.
the "cult" word, i believe they are not seeing that many others could legitimately be regarded as a cult or at least "cultic".therefore the word loses alot of meaning.
some have said that the watchtower is a cult because of the control factor.

Minimus: "the Roman CATHOLIC Church is also a cult....btw after reviewing Europe's comments all of us on this board are a cult."
Sorry Minimus, I dont agree with you!
Re.1. I was raised a Catholic but we never characterized "outsiders" by negative traits!
Re.2. We never lacked interest and information
Re.3. We always respected other religions. (I lived among moslims for over 5 years) Never claimed we had a higher moral standard than the rest of the world.
Re.5. We never did such, and when I myself decided to quit going to church I wasnt DF'd, still had my family and friends, nobody shunned me at all!!!
Re.6. Dont think so!

I found these "characteristics" of a cult, so you can check for yourself....
1. Speaking of adversaries or outsiders ( e.g., conservatives, liberals, yuppies, blue-collar, rich, poor) as if they were all the same; characterising them by negative traits only; attributing unflattering motives to them but not to yourself.
2. Lacking interest and information concerning the actual statements and actions of opponents or outsiders.
3. Failing to consider the possible validity of an adversary's point of view.
4. Not taking a critical look at one's own position.
5. Disapproving or rejecting a member of one's group for departing from the group position, devaluing the dissident, regarding him or her as an annoyance or a problem.
6. Feeling self-righteous.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).
The group has a polarized us- versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.
The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).
The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).
The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.
Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group membersCiao,

3. Did your parents have the same religion?
4. Have you been beaten from time to time when you were young?
5. Did you have an easy youth?
6. Do you believe in God?
7. If yes, do you think he cares about us?
8. Conerning 6: Has this always been the case?
9. Do you believe in Evolution-theory?
10. What happens with us after the death, in your opinion?
11. What will this planet look like in 100 years?
12. Do you think it would be a good idea to abolish all religions?
Thanks for your time!""PS: we are emailing for about a year now, so a bit late for these questions I think, that's why I rather send him some funny answers;-)
Thanx in advance,

Suffer The Little Children Watch the programme on Sunday 14 July at 22:15 BST, on BBC One or from this page.
With the Catholic Church still reeling from revelations that it kept child abuse quiet, Panorama investigates a world-wide religion that stands accused of shielding abusers: the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The programme tells the harrowing stories of children put at risk by the Watchtower Society's bible-based policies and unearths evidence of a database of members suspected of child abuse - many of whom have never been reported to the police.
The organisation claims to monitor the men accused of raping and molesting children but now faces allegations that it covers up crime and pressurises victims not to go to the police.
Panorama takes its evidence to the heart of the organisation and reveals the damage caused by the silent witnesses.
