The JWs are quite happy to accept, and use, all sorts of dates, scholarly works and references from the secular world so long as they agree with their doctrines, but are immediately rejected if they do not. The result is that they have tie the Bible in knots to make it fit in with their arguments.

The "Superhuman" Cult Leader

by refiners fire in

jw
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.

Interesting observation, RF.

Whenever I say something uncomplementing about old Charlie Boy to my wife (JW), she actually agrees with me (the only time she does about the WBTS). " We all know Russell was a bit of a nutter" she tells me. But it does prove your point that other cult leaders (and founders) are seen as Superhuman" compared to the WBTS's "Supernutter"!
