  If This Isn't A Cult----What Is It????

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the organization teaches that we leave everyone and everything else behind when we join christianity (also known as the "truth").

  your father, mother, brother and sister all have to be given up to become a "real" christian.

  friends that you grew up that are not of the same religion must be abandoned.

  When I first left, I couldn't bring myself to call it a cult....after all that meant I had been taken in by a cult and I thot I was too smart for that....then I read Steve Hasson's book on CULTS AND HIGH MIND CONTROL. I was sure the religion fit in the class of High Mind control. As I read the book I would read a characteristic of a cult....think to myself, "We don't do that!" Reflect a little deeper and say"Oh yes we do!" Maybe a little differently but we still did the same thin as the moonies, etc. and I believe that if the WTS told us to drink the Kool-Aid, most of us would have done it.

  So now I can say with great certainty and convictioin that> JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE A CULT in the truest sense of the word and thank the powers that be that I am out and free.

  March KM also gives instructions to POs

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also in the march km apart from the big front page article about awake being monthly - is a rebuke to pos to distribute kms as soon as they arrive.

  i am glad about this - far too many pos are control freaks and distribute kms at last possible minute - it is almost as if they are saying - i am better than you because i get my km about 3 weeks before you do.

  anyway we got our march kms last night and they were distributed immediately

  As a matter of fact, I did hear the songs by Benson....my 3 yr old granddaughter was on my computer, clicking here and there and I walked in the room and I heard him singing. I could probably never find the site again...I should have marked it before I clicked it off. There was a woman singing too but I don't know if it was Celine Dion.

  George must have been reinstated at some point or I would be surprised that he would be singing kingdom songs. I believe it was on some JW website....one of theose websites with the good little JW's posting. He, Prince and Micheal Jackson should get together and do some 'theocratic sonts'....wouldn't that be a hit?????? Snicker, snicker.

  "Obesity Awake- Nov. 8, 2004"

  by dothemath in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard many comments about cong.

  members won't be presenting this mag..........it's a touchy subject, not to mention the advice in the awake isn't any different than advice from dr. phil, oprah, etc... etc........... one interesting obversation- at the end of the article it doens't say to just "wait on god's kingdom".........this is how the very last paragraph goes.......... "where there's a will, there's a way.

  do you have the motivation to do something about it?

  Or how about a support/counseling group for those with eating disorders, depression, loneliness, etc. thanks to their "LOVING" policies.

  check out latindimples.com.

  apparently a site hosted by a jw, you can listen to george benson, larry graham (sly and the family stone), the brother formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince, and others perform kingdom melodies.. my favorite is a instrumental by prince, life without end at last.

  Excellent book, Mulan. I read that when I first got out and couldn't put it down. After I read C of C, I was convinced the WTS was corrupt but still wanted to believe the Bible was true. The Age of REason put all that belief into perspective.

  I agree about them not emassing wealth....afterall most of them die there anyway so what would they be saving the money for. I think its more of a power trip they are on and the money just keeps coming in. And I believe most of the money does go right back into "the work"...it sure isn't going to help the poor, JW or not, or abuse victims, etc. Just my opinion...........'
