  my daughter will be getting married this coming august.

  she and her future husband are not jehovah's witnesses.

  they will have a non-religious wedding ceremony.

  The easiest option is going to be not to invite your cousin. I know that in an ideal world non-believers shouldn't have to suffer at the hands of a coercive cult, but this isn't an ideal world. If such a significant proportion of your family is still under the undue influence of the Watchtower Society then you've got to accept that you're going to have to pander to their mindset, at least on these occasions.

  If the Watchtower Society wasn't a cult, you wouldn't be excluding "apostates" from your thread.

  I'm afraid it's that simple.

  Good luck making your way out, Mike.

  Is the Watchtower a Communist front?

  by bytheirworks in

  in the chinese language you have 2 versions: traditional & simplified.. ever since the watchtower opened a field office in hong kong, they have made the watchtower study magazines into two versions: traditional & simplified.. the watchtower's communist roots go back further than that.

  charles taze russel in his early watch tower (notice there is a difference between watch tower aka guard tower.... & watchtower aka enochian magic, aka justice league, aka league of the just men 1834, aka communist league 1847) predicted some 36 years in advance that there would be a communist revolution in russia.

  it was called many things but in 1918 it was officially called a communist revolution, exactly around the time when the government began arresting rutherford.. when you do the research you find that the last communist meeting was held in allegheny pennsylvania, exactly where & when russel began his watch tower.. don't you find it strange that the watchtower is able to produce so many worker bee jw's, who operate like mindless robots???.

  Hi,

  Some of the similarities that you've noted may be down to the fact that the Watchtower Society uses a framework of Thought Reform, as have some (perhaps most) Communist states. (Google: Thought Reform and the psychology of Totalism)

  I'd be inclined to put the rest of what you've listed down to coincidence.
