  What makes a cult (in the pejorative sense)?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  michael moore writes:.

  a cult is an organization that enslaves minds and destroys families using cult mind control.

  cult mind control involves orchestrated deception, social pressure, psychological abuse, and repetitive indoctrination (brainwashing) centering around an unchallengeable ideology enforced in a totalitarian way in a closed socially-separatist community setting.

  Capture the mind and you’ll capture the heart and wallets. And that is exactly what any corporation that wants to be around tomorrow needs to have today.

  say it ain’t so!

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

  There is no such animal as a Christian who is not anointed, i.e., not born of and indwelt by the Spirit of God. John 3:3, Romans 8:9

  Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.

  1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.

  not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

  They are guilty of

  a. writing themselves into the salvation formula

  b. claiming they are Jehovah's unique channel of communication

  c. asserting that no one who rejects their authority is a real Christian

  d. determining that 99% of those martyred for the name of Christ prior to the 20th century were only professed Christians

  e. denying all the benefits of justification to 8 million so called modern other sheep

  f. mandating shunning of former Jehovah's Witnesses

  Add to that:

  They preach a non-salvific gospel and an unrelatable Jesus.

  Jws have been indoctrinated to believe that their 9 leaders in Warwick, NY are this alleged “slave”. Who indoctrinated them to believe this? Well, those 9 leaders in Warwick, NY of course. How better to control 8.5 million people and live as parasites off the financial donations of those 8.5 million than for them to appoint themselves into this role.

  Mandated Shunning is a Crime

  by Lee Marsh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

  shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

  mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

  Norway had the right idea to deal with mandated shunning. Remove their charitable status.
