  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.

  Welcome, Tzu!

  I look forward to reading what should be an interesting story, especially how both you and your husband left. You must have a strong relationship.

  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.

  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"!

  To Scooter:During the time I was an active member, I did not allow any one to influence me to leave the organization.

  Is your wife the same way as I was?

  Thanks for your reply, AwakenedAndFree. Even talking about the possibility of questioning the org is not up for negotiation. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that nobody but herself can make that decision. But I cannot believe that there isn't a way to initiate that questioning. Any suggestions?

  Anyway, welcome again. Scooter.

  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.
