What Makes a Person Vulnerable to Join a Cult ? By Steve Hassan

most of us often wonder with amazement how we ever got caught up in the jehovah's witnesses mind control after having been out for awhile.

and we still wonder how some of our relatives stay trapped inside it.

well, steve hassans book " releasing the bonds " explains briefly in chapter 4 how it can happen.

JW says the end of religion is beginning to happen!

when talking to my jw friend.... she asked me if i had seen the news about businesses now not putting up xmas deco's etc.

this is so as not to offend people of other religions ie jw's and muslims etc.. she said this is going to lead to (a start of) the banning of all religions worldwide!?.

i said i think it shows more tolerance and respect for other religions.... that is not how she sees it (or any other jw's that have been discussing it).. what are your thoughts on this.

Adulterers are Worse than Pedophiles

....at least according to jehovahs witnesses.. if a sister at the kingdom hall suspect her hubby is playing naughty with another woman and she finds her hubbys car has been parked at anothers womans house all night, then she can write a letter stating she is sure that adultry has taken pace and divorce him, and he is then disfellowshipped, and she still remains in good standing..............but,.

if a child tells their parents and the brothers at the kingdom hall that they were molested sexually by a brother at the hall, and this accused brother denies this accusation and there is no other witnesses to this claim, then he is veiwed as not guilty and remains in good standing.. why do you suppose the accused adulterer is treated differently.....even if he denies that he commited adultry?.

for those of you that don't know my story, read my first post here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/122526/1.ashx

so, i think next week is when i find out if i am approved to be an ms. if not, thank god, but if i am, i'm in deep crap.

elder dad is confident that i'll accept, but my plan is to try to get out of it by saying that i want to finish school and get an aa degree, at least, before accepting more responsibilities.
