what activities that Jehovah's Witness does that aren't regulated by the Watchtower. All of their movements (and thoughts) outside of WT approved activities are monitored and disciplined. If that was the case that the WT has no control over things that a JW does outside of KH activities, etc, then the WT has no business disfellowshipping people for taking blood or lighting up a cigarette
Yes Orphan Crow, that's the main problem with cults that Richard so eagerly wants to defend. They control the minds and every aspect of the life of their members, and then, when legal responsibility needs to be assessed, they argue to be an entirely separate party and have nothing to do with the problems of their members.
