  How Cultish are the JW's?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off, i certainly agree the jw's are a cult.

  but i'm sensitive to black-and-white thinking now.. so, where do they rank on the scale?

  think of a cultish religion scale from 0-10.. consider the likes of unitarian universalism vs baptist vs amish vs charles manson.. where do you think jw's fall on the scale?.

  The JW's are told to;

  who they can love, who they can associate with, what they can wear, abstain from life-saving medical treatment with blood, how to spend their time, not to celebrate ANY holidays, what to watch for entertainment.....I don't know but nothing sounds more like a ''cult'' to me. I have to say right up on the scale around 8 or 9.

  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  by Truthexplorer in

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  Seems that they bring up these studies occasionally when they sense some ''dissention'' talkers within the Borg.

  Apostasy and Pedophile Scandal are Spreading

  so here's an interesting thing that happened lately.

  if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.

  last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.

  It IS emotional abuse. This is Control-Freakery 101

  And you can add information-control 101 in a way too.

  True, this Regional Commission investigation will trickle down to the rank and file. But the vas majority of the rank and file still have no clue what's happened, or about to happen. The far majority wouldn't even venture to navigate any sites like these. I could be wrong however.

  The Witnesses don't pray to Jesus. Their channel to God is the WBTS, it seems.

  the problem with you, apostates, is that your doubts were not genuine

  by never a jw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in page 10 of the correspondence guidelines, in the section of apostasy" i found the following:.

  one who has sincere doubts orquestions should be kindly aided inthe spirit of galatians.... i am forced to conclude that many of you didn't get any aid because your doubts were fake.

  so according to the wt manual, your main sin may have not been doubting, but faking having doubts.

  Terrible article. Some people leave the Borg because they believe with their heart and mind they are doing appropriate thing. Such a statement is inconclusive.
