  for those of you, newbies or perhaps others who haven't read steve hassan's book - " combatting cult mind control" here are some very important things to remember of how jehovah's witnesses and other " mind control" cults operate .

  it may help you to understand some things to see how we were all faked out at one time in our lives.

  hassan's book states , " in totalistic cults , the ideology is internalized as " the truth ", the only "map" of reality .

  IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM LAWRENCE HUGHES

  as you may have heard, the court of appeal has overturned three previous court decisions in my favour.

  the lawsuit has been given the green light and is basically has remained intact almost exactly the way it started.

  what are the odds of that happening?

  Question about shunning from someone who has never been a JW....

  by whyizit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wondered, since the jws claim that jesus is their teacher, what evidence do they have of jesus shunning "bad associations"?

  it seems to me, from reading the bible, that the religious people of his day really gave him a hard time, because he actually spent the majority of his time with "bad associates", rather than shunning them.

  thomas, though he followed jesus, wasn't totally convinced.

  Toxic Parents Toxic Religion

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the book toxic parents, by susan forward she discusses the issue of parenting and just what the term toxic parents means.

  on pages 6-9 of the book she talks a bit about abuse and then has a short quiz which i will post.. .

  what i would like to try is to see how well the issue of toxic parents fits a toxic religion.

  a bozo calling itself "shiningone" recently posted on the h2o board some typically bad arguments supposedly defending the bible.

  i posted a rebuttal to a number of specific points, which is reproduced below.

  guess what the response was.. those familiar with jw teaching will recognize some of the bad defensive arguments.. <hr>.
