Absolutely.
Being in this religion is being in a codependent relationship. No question.

Similarities between the Governing Body and an abusive spouse
by Zoos ini was looking at a list of methods used by abusive spouses to manipulate and control their "domain" and was struck by how similar the mentality is to the governing body's approach to the flock.
obviously not everything on the list applies as there is no sexual component in the congregation and there is no physical contact, but the similarities were shocking.. http://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/domestic-violence-and-abuse.htm.
abusers use a variety of tactics to manipulate you and exert their power:.

It is looking more and more like there is no one running this organization. The just keep sending out mixed and contradictory messages at an ever increasing rate. The website and this videos just multiply the problem.
Let's review: It's a cult!

It was designed as a nightclub! WTF?!?
I know JWs that wouldn't buy stuff at a garage sale because things there MIGHT have been demonized.
What a fucking ridiculous cult this religion is.
I really can't believe I ever fell for this shit.

My thoughts on the last WT study. Keep in Expectation
by StarTrekAngel inso i sat thru another brain mushing session for the sake of family.
it is no myth by now that the more time you spend awake the harder it is the accept that people just take all of this in without asking.
a computer has more reasoning abilities than your average jw at this point.

"Imitate Jehovah" CA Actually Didn't Have That Theme At All
by JW_Rogue injust got back from "imitate jehovah" ca and noticed that the theme was never really used at all.
all the talks were about family, preaching and getting along with others in the hall.
they didn't once go over an account of how jehovah acted in the past and how we should imitate that action.

dothemath: I think everyone here knows most witnesses would drink anything the governing body told them to.
And why not? They're already swallowing down tons of proverbial bullshit!
