Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

by GoverningBody in

this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

"bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

Whether it's a cult or not really doesn't answer the question: Is this a dangerous thing to belong to?

Biahi - They don’t hold wealthy donors to the same standards as the lower income people.

Nuff said!

Why does anyone believe this Bible nonsense in 2022?

Answers on a postcard.....

I'll be honest, believe what you want, I don't care unless it causes harm......like the Bible, Quran and other stupid books usually do.

Fedup - uncleanness may be involved

Typical of the GovBod (Pees be upon them), to give themselves a get out clause. We all know why they protect paedos! Need it be said?

Are badness, disobedience, and rebellion part of the "perfect" human nature?

by psyco in

when humankind will be perfect again after 1,000 years living in a paradise without being influenced by satan and demons, since "the number of these is as the sand of the sea" (revelation 20:8), a huge amount of "perfect" people, like adam and eve, will be bad, disobedient, and rebel being misled by satan once again.. does this mean that after living today surrounded by bad, disobedient, and rebel imperfect people, you will still live surrounded by bad, disobedient and rebel "perfect" people in a paradise?.

does this mean that badness, disobedience, and rebellion are part of the "perfect" human nature considering the big amount of people involved ("as the sand of the sea")?.

is it possible that we were originally created with such a strong desire and tendency to badness, disobedience, and rebellion as a result of a wise, loving, and perfect project?.

watty - after 1000+ years of extended wt rule .....

That's all I need to hear that would make me suicidal.....if any of the WTBT$ claims were true....which they're not.

So there is that.

What's the deal with Cheese and Apple Danishes at conventions.

by pistolpete in

this was before my time, but there was this post that had 308 comments testifying that the best thing of being a jehovah witness back in the day was the convention's meals.

is this true?.

one quote out of 308;.

I remember Hellas bar chocolate. I don't remember Danish pastries here in the UK. But who knows? Maybe they had run out of them that day.

I worked in the kitchens after they did sarnies instead of hot food. There was a big tea urn. We used to put all the loose tea leaves in a ladies' stocking as a sort of giant tea bag. Tied in a big knot at the top. I hasten to add, the lady wasn't wearing it. although I imagine it wasn't pre-worn.........................or was it???
