How 'bout this: JWs are not liked because they are a highly destructive cult.

131Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?
by BlackSpirit injesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

I'm well aware that many organizations make in-house and public promotional videos to draw attention to what they are doing. They do this for a variety of reasons: to create enthusiasm and boost morale, to create publicity and increase awareness both within and outside of the organization. Of course, at the root of it all is the bottom line: to increase revenue.
That being said, what the WTBTS is doing with these videos is not really different from what many other organizations do with one notable exception: the WTBTS creates a great number of videos drawing attention to the fact that they are doing things that are extraordinarily ordinary and mundane. Some of their projects are notable to be sure, but a great many of these videos are insipid beyond belief. The banality of celebrating the commonplace, everyday and routine activities that are featured in so many of these videos is surprising for its lack of any spark, interest or value at all.
They are clearly uninspired, and I mean this in every possible sense of the word.

Who's steering this chariot?
Either no one at all or at least no one that knows what the fuck they're doing!

JW stopped me in the street.....
by Phizzy inhe pulled up in his car beside me and asked for directions, then he recognized me, we used to be in the same congo.. the usual pleasantries, i gave him directions, and then "when are you going to come back then" he asks.. "never" i say, "well, it has all changed" he says, " it's not like it used to be" i detect a tone of regret.. "but you know there is nowhere else to go" he boldly proclaims.. "yes there is !
" say i, "there is somewhere where you can find truth, and truth is supported by facts and evidence ".
he had to drive off then as he was blocking a narrow street, i did not get time to say " go to jw facts.com", i will tell him next time..

You know there is nowhere else to go ...

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump
by Wild_Thing ini have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.
i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.
he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

WT: He ran for office twice and lost both times.
Well that explains a lot!

Okay, to redirect. The point, I believe, that the OP was trying to make is that narcissistic, demagogues tend to have many traits in common. As ex-JWs, it shouldn’t be surprising for us to see some similarities between Rutherford (the control freak that really turned this religion into a cult) and Trump.
We could just as easily draw parallels between any two authoritarian autocrats, but Rutherford is significant in the history and character of the cult we all left and Trump is the current President of the United States.
If we, as ex-Witnesses lived elsewhere in a country with a leader that exhibited such behaviors we would no doubt draw the appropriate comparisons, Rutherford to:
- Putin in Russia
- Orban Viktor in Hungary
- Kim Jong Un in Korea, etc.
Do the math.
That’s all.
