Another red-flag sign of abusive cult group tactics which cause harm to ex-JWs

by buzkid in

philo sopia's (not her real name because she's pimo) experience in the beroean pickets group is one that highlights cult patterns like love bombing and gaslighting and religious abuse.

she thought she was in a loving supportive bible study group, only to find out that beroean pickets had all the hallmarks of a religious cult.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaos8bxigyy.

This video interview points out very well about this other red flag which is a very intolerant view of other peoples beliefs and understandings.

Eric Wilson insists on only his own point of view as if he only knows the truth and everyone else is wrong.

If you dare research and share something you learn from commentaries or Bible scholars then you become persona non grata and find yourself disliked by Eric Wilson and his group lieutenants who will make sure you are silenced.

Wendy Wiens even muted Jim Penton in one of their Zoom meetings and wouldn't let him talk.

susanne eigenheer is an ex-jw and suffered religious abuse in eric wilson's group.

her personal statement and experiences within the beroean pickets study groups was one of betrayal where she was taken advantage of financially.

in one text conversation, wendy wiens disfellowshiped susanne and demanded an apology from her.

When Eric Wilson says those who complain about being abused in his group are slandering him, he is making it all about himself and he is using gaslighting techniques which is a favorite of narcissistic personality as another post pointed out. He refuses to acknowledge how others have been harmed in his group, to the point of suicide. He has become a cult leader who only cares about himself and how much money he gets.

Why so many cult leaders have weird relationship issues and dysfunctional marriages?

why do so many cult leaders have weird relationship issues and dysfunctional marriages?russell coudn't get along with his wife mariah.

rutherford had trouble with his wife and sent her away.. eric wilson says it's o.k.

if you don't get legally married as long as you have a "spiritual marriage" in his latest video response to the situation of people coming forward complaining about the abusive religious tactics his "wife" practices and he condones.. i ask this question in a previous post but it deserves it's own discussion definitely:why is it that so many cult leaders have weird relationship issues and dysfunctional marriages?.

Good point, Touchofgrey! There is a dysfunctional family relation in cults because, as another post pointed out too, the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control applies to both remarkably well and narcissistic personalities only care about themselves. A dysfunctional view of sexual relations also plays into the control system.

Eric Wilson's response to the situation of people that are coming forward and complaining about the abusive tactics they experienced from his "wife" is to say that by complaining they are slandering him.

Also, that it's O.K. if you don't get legally married as long as you have a "spiritual marriage".

Why is it that so many cult leaders have weird relationship issues and dysfunctional marriages?

So far no comment from Bereanos Pickets, other than Wendy Wiens wrote to Karen Saunders "don't waste our time" which is very irresponsible and ignores the psychological harm this new Pickets cult is causing to former JW members.

Beroean Pickets- please offer encouragement

by Lightgrowsbrighter in

jw
friends

for many who have left jw.org, there is still a spiritual need and faith in the bible.

beroean pickets is one group/website where serious bible research and commentary, weekly critical reviews of wt studies, as well expose's of flawed wt opinion/doctrine- all backed by the bible- can be considered.

this vast amount of work and research is all done by just a small group of our volunteer brothers and sisters.

Eric Wilson, will You Meet With Those You Have Hurt? -- A Public Call For Dialogue.

Over the last few weeks, serious allegations of various forms of abuse have been experienced by former members of the Beroean Pickets by Eric Wilson and his wife, Wendy Wiens. The trauma and pain felt by many has been hard to deal with, and in one known case the emotional pain was so severe, a beroean picket member took his own life. Jehovahs witnesses who have left the watchtower are vulnerable and unaware of what they may potentially encounter by affiliating with beroean pickets.

@Liam: I like Captain America movies

But something to be concerned about, is that there already have been followers who commit suicide because of how they been treated in the Bereanos Pickets.
There is another video by Karen who interview a sister name Ruth who explains what happen in the situation with Jonas who had a form of judicial committee meting in Bereanos Pickets and was shunned afterward.
