I think you are right....And, most of the time they get people in at their weakest point in life. It appeals to Narcicists and Scoiciopaths (Thankfully it doesn't attract people who can't spell those words..lol)

Personality Type That Draws One To WTBTS
by searching99 ini was thinking about this last night and after reading the previous topic about the gb believing or not it has me thinking again.
i am continually amazed at how a "new" religion can cause ones to abandon all previous beliefs and they are never questioned again.
i am third generation.

JW's and the internet
by *jeremiah* ingrowing up as a jw in the 70's and 80's we didn't have the influence of the internet.
i, of course, believed i was in "the truth" and never heard anything (from the outside) that negative about our jw religion.
of course, now and again, we had some angry people at the door, but other than that i can't recall very many outside negative criticisms.

I wish I understood that too. When I first realized all this info was out here...I sent my non-baptised step-dad some links...and he said they were full of hatred....and if you want to know about something (a religion) ...you need to go to the source....So I think maybe they choose to ignore these things.

My husbands observation...
by megsmomma inwe were just discussing the whole thing about how only those jw's that live through the big a will be able to still be sexual beings and pro-create.
he said that the society is useing our most natural desires to scare everyone into staying in the org and hoping, above all else to live through the big "a".
and i was saying to him that if i still believed what they taught, i would kill him and my baby to save them.

Wow...that is crazy mene mene.....
His letters make him sound rational and fairly "normal".....like most JWs. The thing is though....the things they are taught make it SEEM logical to possibly kill loved ones....but, then again, why would he be killing the other people that he didn't like? To me it seems that he didn't really understand the religious doctrine fully....or he would have thought he was doing his "enemies" a favor.....

Ok...thanks Buddy....I read it a coupple times thinking I just may be blind after all!
Edit: I just read the letters...Man, those were tragic. Sounds like maybe the wife was a JW...and he knew just enough to feel hopeless.

For under_believer...
Look at www.jwfies.com and look on the bottom right side of topics...Look at the "in the news" area to see some stories of murder and suicide.
There are other stories I have seen....but that is where I knew to find some.

Sounds like a real paradise to me.....huh Buddy?
The craziest thing about being a witless is that YOU don't even realize what you are taught untill you get out and see it for what it is....get those crazy glasses off you!

As much as it seems kind of humorous to us who know better.....I wouldn't put it past many of the JW's to kill the people they love....especially as they feel more and more desperate. I would NEVER leave my baby alone with my mother (Which there is no chance of anyhow...she won't ever talk to me....GOOD)
