All organized religions become more corrupt in direct correlation to their size as all hierarchical structures moves towards corruption.
Its simple: The bigger the hierarchy, the more moving parts exist and the more it leans towards corruption.
The JW religion only differs in its legalistic approach and focus on âundeserved kindnessâ vs Grace. Even if youâre an Xian saved through Grace, you are still pressured to donate money, especially in a larger organization because they need even more money.
In the end it doesnât matter if youâre in a small Church or Mega-Church. You gotta keep the lights on, as they say. We all know that God isnât paying the light bill, so humans have to do it.
We may never be rid of cults as a species, but maybe we will find a way to manage them, and only those that are accountable to society and completely transparent while helping the community will exist in the future.
Thatâs going to be impossible unless:
1) Xianity is true.
2) Xianity goes back to the model of the 1st Century; that being small, independent congregations actually being directed by God.
Thatâs my two cents, and No Tomo, you canât actually have my two cents.
