if everyone acted as JWs there would be no war.
If everyone acted as JWs we would be living in a global North Korea.

Refusing to fight is morally deplorable.
There would be no war to start with, that's what would happen.
Meanwhile back in the real world, populated by actual humans, bad people need to be shot in order to protect good people. JWs are moral infants and cowards and it looks as if you have never got over that.

Jw mummies boys
by purrpurr ini've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.
men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.
their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

I think the cult doctrines are more likely to lead to young men who think they have a right to dominate their wives and women who are disempowered.
The thing about the cult is that is contains the entire spectrum of traits from mummy's boys to bombastic bullies.
JWs have no personality types in common.

Yes better. Still not sure if it's a particular trait in the cult.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations’ Global Conflict Tracker, now that there is peace in Colombia, there remain only six civil wars in the world. Five of those are in Islamic nations. Similarly, all four of the current sectarian wars involve Islamic groups, and all five of the ongoing transnational terrorism conflicts involve militant Islamic groups. All told, of the 28 remaining global conflicts of all kinds being tracked by the council, 22 involve an Islamic state or faction...
According to the author of this article in the Boston Globe the reason for this is may be due to the lack of democracy in Islamic countries. One thing he is sure about is that we should immediately dismiss the idea that Islam is inherently more violent.

Or didn't you say it was because you disagreed with JWs on the ransom doctrine? - SBF
No the ransom had nothing to do with my decision to leave the cult. I wrote an article about the ransom long after I decided to leave.
I left because ..
1 - I worked out through personal research that the cult were wrong about the parousia, blood, the great crowd, end-time prophecy and a number of other issues
2 - The had lied and used deceit to cover up some of these errors
3 - Disagreeing about anything the cult says is forbidden.
The reasons you initially left are not the same as the list you give now
Yes they are. Since leaving I also discovered a lot of other scandals and abuses that I was unaware of when I left. Even if these additional things did not exist it would make no difference to my decision to leave.
There has never been a single moment in 20 years when I have questioned my decision. They are an evil abusive cult and the men who are responsible for their doctrines are ignorant, unintelligent and deceptive in equal measure.
If people stop on the way out, to consider the good and the bad, and make a considered choice, how can that be a bad thing?
You are not on your way out. You have been out for decades.
They are wrong about the divine name. Pacifism is morally indefensible.
As I said you are a 'useful idiot'.

Don't worry Phoebe you did not make a mistake leaving that lying, controlling, child abusing, family-destroying cult who have been right about absolutely nothing since the day Russell tried to work out the date for Armageddon based on the size of a pyramid.
SBF you are a 'useful idiot'.

So your assertion is that the divine name was used in the original version of the NT but god allowed Satan to have it removed and all but forgotten for 2000 years only to be rediscovered in a bastardised version by a disgusting American cult that has been wrong about absolutely everything.
Is that a fair summary?
