They read all this shit and then pretend to be puritanical Dr. Who (nothing upbuilding or christian than teaching a young man his worth is tied up in his penis size....sexism in reverse!!!)

- The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. —Pat Robertson, Southern Baptist leader (1930–)
- they are all the same! Maintaining patriarchal power and control via bullshit!

I think that witness dark mentality of always battling powerful others ("governments/doctors..demons) says more about the dangers of the siege mentality "us against them" ....Also met some very obsessed with demonisation/sex I think it says more about the inner demons they are battling than actual demons... -

An uber anointed brother told my teenage daughter that any sexual act outside of marriage is "sensed" by the "demons" and they get energy from it. -

Leah Remini's book, "Troublemaker"
by DisArmed injust finished leah remini's book, "troublemaker.
" very good book that easily resonates, i'm sure, with anyone who has exited a cult.
her life in scientology and eventual exit was a nightmare.

Haven't read the book but have recently viewed the movie "Going Clear". Since then I strongly identify Watchtower with the cult of scientology rather than any other religous org. Same modus operandi. -

Decrease of numbers in Jehovah's Witnesses via Deaths, DFings, or Turning Inactive
by flipper inso i'm sure a good number of us saw the chart that i believe the poster splash put on another thread of figures since 1990 regarding how many baptized and % of increase each year .
i started analyzing it ( and i know some referred to it briefly on the other thread ) and guessing of reasons the % of increase didn't match the number of newly baptized.
and of course common sense tells us that either jw's leave the cult each year through death, fading into inactivity, or getting dfed.
