oh my... from their jw.org site:.
no, jehovahs witnesses are not a cult.. .
nice rebuttal to the question.
In fact, there is no consensus on the definitions given to the words "cult" or "religion". But there is a consensus that the Jehovah's Witnesses organization is guilty of many cultic deviances.

i was having a discussion with a brother about the following topic: if psalms says.
" the lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
" (new international version).
Here is a short video of professor Richard Dawkins about that god of the old testament :
im sure this is stretching it a bit and i have lived a sheltered life, however paragraph 8 of todays wt study of marriage of the lamb- says the king's (jehovah) daughter is the 144,000 as adopted children of jehovah.
they are to marry gods son jesus the bridegroom.. yes i know they are not blood relatives, but how often do you hear of adopted kids marrying within their adopted family of brothers or sisters?.
All the 144 000 are male annointed. Since they are going to marry jesus who is also a male, isn't it homosexuality?
makes me want to scream... the evolution of the eye is amazing.
i am floored.. that is all.
Interesting fact for the evolution of the human eye vs squid(or octopus) eye : starts at 0:59 with explanations from Richard Dawkins :
just finished watching episode 3 of cosmos and i have to say it was fantastic.
amidst false prophesies and failed futuristic predictions it was amazing to see halleys comet predictions based on science that actually come true every 76 years...these are the things i imagine most humans really want to see--evidence for something that is measurable and predictable.
and yet these same scientists were demonized and continue to be demonized because they want evidence and something tangible.
Cosmos is great. Every human should watch it. It is a wrap up of everything we know up to now. If someone still believes in a religion or a cult after watchting it, that person has a serious problem, same for those who refuse to watch it.
any objective reading of the gospels makes it plain that jesus believed his parousia would happen within the lifetime of his generation.. his followers believed in his imminent return until the day of their deaths.. his false prophecy damaged the lives of his disciples in a similar way to that done by the lies of modern cults like the watchtower.
peter and others walked out on their wives, children and businesses to follow him around palestine.
jesus taught them to put their families and other normal concerns in second place to their task of spreading his message - which turned out to be false.. the question is what he was up to?.
Here is an analysis in French, showing Jesus was schizophrenic :

Jesus was a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions, hallucinations and paranoia.
ok, sometimes i go to jw.org just to laugh a bit about the 'food at the proper time', and i would like to know what people think of this hillarious article 'am i attracted to the same sex.
does that mean i am gay?'.
this has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of logic (last paragraph of the article).. the bibles stand is not unreasonable.
LOL @ mynameislame

About transsexuals and transgenders, an article was written about it by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, but was never published. However, several Jehovah’s Witnesses in position of authority are aware of it. For example, an individual who has changed sex and wishes to become a Jehovah’s Witness will necessarily have to return to the sexual identity he or she had at birth, although he or she will not be asked to undergo surgery again. Regarding the intersex people (hermaphrodites), the Watchtower said that there is usually a dominant sex and it does not require that they undergo surgery.
