  jw's at your door are a nuisance, but so are telemarketers on the phone.

  how do you deal with them?.

  i sometimes say, "i'm very interested in what you have to say, but excuse me for just a minute, i have to go to the bathroom.".

  Traits of Abusive Churches and Toxic Faith Systems

  by Richie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an exhaustive study has been done on the behavior of cult groups - in several books about "cults", they enumerated 21 major points where you can identify the traits of a cult-like organization.

  bear in mind that the authors did not target jehovah's witnesses as a specific group at all, which made it all the more frightening!

  but this dissertation generalized all cult-groups existing in the world.... 1. control-oriented, arrogantly assertive, power-posturing leadership.. 2. authoritarian and legalistic with dictatorial, dogmatic doctrines that are proclaimed to be "the truth".. 3. claims of being the channel of communication between god and humankind; having unique knowledge that makes them special.
