  The "Superhuman" Cult Leader

  by refiners fire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most cults have a tendency to venerate the founder of the cult as a person with supranormal powers.

  to illustrate.take an example such as stanley kubrick, stanley is venerated as a genius film maker, but he is venerated for only that one thing.

  clark gable might be venerated, but only for acting.

  I'd like to explain

  by Curyus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new at this whole computer-e-mail stuff; so i guess i should explain myself a bit.

  fist, english is not my 1st language, i was born into the truth- you could say i'm 2nd generation jehovah's witness, & i have been disfellowshipped twice & was out for 6 years.

  i think from my last letter you can tell that i have a true zeal for the truth.

  Do JWs eat fat?

  by scooter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading some of the recent posts on the blood issue reminded me of a verse that i have never yet had a jw explain.

  lev 3:17 in the nwt reads " it is a statute to time indefinite for your generations, in all your dwelling places: you must not eat any fat or blood at all.".

  jws use other verses to try and show that we mustn't eat blood as = having a blood transfusion.

  Only JW's Honest - Perpetuating the Stereotype

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  the back cover of the august 15 watchtower offers another example of mind control, reinforcing the concept that there are no honest people except for jehovah's witnesses, and that there is no crime within the organization ("if all people were jehovah's witnesses, who would commit crimes?"):.

  don't it make you wanna hurl?
