Hello Francoise,
you have made a very good comment!
About you statement:
"Who out there has that quote from the WT about how since the catholic church claims to be the way of salvation for millions of people that they should be ready to, essentially, debate the issue, defend their position? If it's right for the catholic church, then it's even more right for the WTB&TS, who claims to speak directly for GOD!" I'll make a search and then post it.

Hello everyone,
Any similarity with …some organization?
“…the potential convert to the group/cult/organization, becomes convinced
of the higher purpose and special calling of the group/cult/organization through
a profound encounter/experience, for example , through an alleged miracle or
prophetic word of those in the group/cult/organization..”

Hello peaceloveharmony,
thanks for your post. I do agree, although
it is not so easy and simple as it seems.
As for - Flip - you words:
"...because there’s little to be gained by allowing a habitually dysfunctional person to destroy your ability to function likewise your ability to assist others." are very, very true and we do
find these kind of people everywhere. Why should we allow them to
upset, unbalance or even diminish our joy in life???
Thanks, it's nice to see that others have...similar thoughts and
feelings.

can you spot the wt double speak in the two faq's?.
or anyone else like to comment?
(not open to fred, coz we've heard it all before!).
Hello QWERTY,
thanks for the post. Btw save the WTS quotes,
you'll run the risk that in further edition it will disappear!
As for the general comment, your post shows one of the many
statement from the WTS directed to the media, and generally
to those on the outside. Another matter, are the statements
for the R&F in the magazines,books and other publications .
Justy try to see for your self under the word : salvation
and see what the WTS has been writing for the last 50 years,
concerning those who'll be saved!

Hello everyone,
Just few words to share with you:
“When someone’s words and actions tear down another, attack or weaken
a person’s standing as a Christian, to gratify you, your position or your
beliefs, while at the same time harming another, that is spiritual abuse”.

PS. all …indirect references to the WTS..are accidental and only mine.
one of the most important techniques in manipulating people is to get control of their guilt.. all totalistic movements, religious or political use this method.
few organizations are better then the watchtower society in mastering this.
the religious cults have the advantage over the political that they can use the ultimate authority, namely god.. a typical example of such manipulation can be found in the january 15, 1997 issue of the watchtower.
