  When did the religion become a cult?

  by Hermano in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am i wrong in believing it was rutherford who took the religion from strange to cult?

  under russell they had some strange beliefs but strange beliefs don't make a cult.

  wasn't it rutherford who established and reinforced the hierarchichal structure and demanded absolute loyalty?.

  Is the FDS losing control?

  by Hermano in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe there is growing unrest amongst jws.

  they may not be very cohesive or organized, but the rigorous demands for obedience coming from the leadership and the unbending, never ending list of rules, not to mention the end that has been ever so-close for so long yet never climaxes, has a lot of jws frustrated.. don't get me wrong.

  i know there are some jws that will hang in there no matter what they're told to do and will obey without question.

  I wish there were more JW's resisting the extreme elements within the religion

  i wish there were more jw's resisting the extreme elements within the religion.

  i beleive there are many who know some of the things they hear and read are whack, but stay because they think it's still the group god has chosen.

  but there are ways to voice your opinion without being too vocal or disassociating:.

  Recurring nightmares of getting busted by elders, anyone???

  by Hermano in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the last week or so, i've had recurring dreams of elders coming after either me or my wife (who is still a believer).

  for example, i dreamt elders were accusing us of being apostates and were demanding a meeting with us.

  they were citing lack of regular meeting attendance as the reason for their suspicions.

  by Hermano in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello everyone, long time lurker, first post.

  can you share your experiences with hypnosis?

  beyond the yes it worked for me or no it did not work for me, what i am looking for especifically is whether or not it opened you up for demon attacks or demonic activity.
