Jehovahs Witnesses; the perfect cult for those who want to be miserable
by 144001 inno holidays, no birthdays, no school sports, no "worldy" associations, no extracurriclar school activities whatsoever, no higher education, no smurfs, no harry potter, no speaking to family members who have been df'd or da'd, and of course, total control over one's free time, are all characteristics of the miserable cult of the watchtower.. it seems like depriving witnesses of all joy in life is the objective of the watchtower cult.
i'm no psychologist, but i can't help but believe the "joy deprivation" inflicted upon witnesses by the exploitive watchtower cult is part and parcel to their control objective.
it's a way to measure just how much control they have over folks, to ensure they will drink the kool aid at the right time and upon command.. i was born into this cult, and left it in my early teens, after a rather ugly period of defiance.

Hey, people have a right to be miserable. They want to be miserable!
Seriously, the WTBTS is more or less a "private club" posing as a religion for poor people.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but what other religion doesn't want you to spend money to
celebrate holidays? To acknowledge only a marriage anniversary? Boring! Besides, my
wife and I just had our 6 year anniversary and we didn't receive any gifts or cards from the
congregation. The JWs is a religion for the poor and uneducated that gives them this very
arrogant attitutde that THEY are the only ones to who have the Truth, are part of God's
organization, will survive Armageddon, will go to Heaven and/or be resurrected to a Paradise
Earth. -

to partake in the emblems, but .... matthew 28:19-20. therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name .
apostles should make disciples, but it doesn't say that disciples should.

Thank you, journey-on ... that's exactly how I read it. The Holy Spirit is showing me the real Truth.
This year I will accept the "blood" and "body" of Jesus Christ ... after 9 years of refusing it.

Paradise=Muslim's 70 virgins or Witnesses=Eternity singing kingdom songs!
by Witness 007 inboy do i feel ripped off!
as a witness if i spend my life at meetings and field service my reward is............eternity with the witnesses gardening which i hate.....and singing kingdom songs.
no t.v no booze no fun no nothing and to boot i don't get my 70 virgins like the muslims......i mean for 70 virgins i would be willing to go thru all the meetings and field service........but to spend eternity with your circuit oversear and a bunch of bethelite's i think the living would envy the dead.

Even though the WTBTS labels us as "apostates" - it's only because we don't agree with their doctrines.
Psalm 146:3
Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. -

by tooktheredpill inguys: i just need to vent a little.
as you may know, ive been working for a couple of months, trying to make my wife think by herself.

Just tell the person you're studying with (in private) that the organization is a cult.
