i think it does especially being that this organization is rigidly structured itself on formulated doctrines from a top hierarchy of men which are strictly enforced, among other reasons.
what cults are.
a cult is not necessarily a religious group, although religious cults are common, including breakaway sects from more mainstream faiths.
All JWS to varying degrees are mentally indoctrinated to support the organization, its doctrines and its members.
Certainly the top GB men are strongly protected from scrutiny, that's probably why they get away with the most lies and corruption.
Its god's chosen organization dont you know.
To me its a training center for corruption, man handled to cultivate power and money for the men at the top..
Which when you think about is a common ingredient to a cult.
i'm not talking about armageddon, but a chance for all mankind to "reset" and come together.
just sayin.
i know i'm going to get nailed, but that's ok. i still consider myself a christian..
Hold on I'm coming ......
yes, many here have lost many years of life due to being infected by this cult like religion.
for many it is very hard to let go of that life and those wasted years.. of course people need time to heal and this web site is a great place to do that, swap war stories and commiserate.. i was in for over 50 years.
so of course it will be with me for the rest of my life.
Well said Just Fine
the scripture said you must worship with spirit and truth.
the publications you read which are called spritual food from jehovah, are written by those who are supposed to be the closest to god and are anointed.
they claimed for decades to you that it was the creator's promise that those living during 1914 would live to see the fullfilment of the promise of a new earth.
Stop letting unworthy prophets tell you they speak for Jehovah.
Correct
Its a false religion that portrays itself as a true righteous religion devoted and loyal to Jehovah and his will and purpose, when in reality JWS are loyal and subservient to false prophet apostate charlatans, the leaders of the WTS.
i recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.
the first was a few months ago and the second today.
the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.
The JWS use the death of people as a exploitation vehicle to promote their resurrection doctrine and their religion as a whole.
Yes they talk a little about the individual and their service to Jehovah, talks, participation in the congregation so forth but I think they go overboard.
Most JWS funerals are attended by a portion of non JWS and the JWS intentionally use these events to lure people to the organization, kind of propaganda in action.
JWS funerals are designed and outlined by the WTS with a specific purpose in mind .
I think it would be better to talk a bit more of about the person by people who knew them and perhaps a little bit at the end about the resurrection doctrine.

I think its important to realize or reflect what was good about the organization.
There were set of rules of behavior and conduct that were enforced by elders and the guidelines set by the top leaders of the Org. that obviously had some practical goodness to them.
On the other hand some were actually quite damaging such as deaths for refusing a blood transfusion, the breaking up of families, to mention a couple.
Not everything outside the Org. is evil.
In a matter of fact there is evil situated in most religious organizations if you closely enough.
We should be now able to accept the fact that people can make their way in life in a wholesome way without relgoius indoctrination, yes it is possible.
I've been trying ever since I left, how about you ?
pyramidology .
of isaac newton, piazzi smyth, pastor c.t.
russell:)what went wrong?let’s keep our investigation simple!where and how was the obsession with the great pyramid begun?
Since this monument Pyramid was created and guided by Jehovah in its size and structure, does that mean Jehovah is pagan too ?
That would make the Egyptian religion the correct religion chosen by god.
I think JWS should wear a pyramid of some kind on their heads just to make sure they are pleasing Jehovah.
Its just so painstakingly boring waiting for the rest of humanity to die.
Hurry up Jah my ass is getting sore. !

Ignorance and a zeal for literature publishing is just what the Watchtower has been involved in since its early beginning.
Still that way if you ask me.
on reddit, a pimo elder talked about the co special meeting with the co about all what’s important, tight pants!
omg we have a pandemic, some have lost their jobs, people are depressed, but let’s stop the brothers from wearing tight pants.
also, metro style haircuts.
I was thinking the same thing Simon but I thought well you know PC
