but it unfortunately happens - among JWs and nonJWs.
It amazes me when people make almost excusing statements like that saying that JW's are just the same as everyone else and that it's basically normal that these abhorrent things happen among them too.
Well actually it's not normal at all.. because 'normal' people are just that.. 'normal'. But JW's claim to be God's chosen select people, they claim to live by the very highest strict moral code, they claim to be led by the Holy Spirit and that they dwell in a spiritual paradise of a worldwide loving brotherhood where children can live protected in safety and security. The average 'non-JW' make none of these claims.
They are always blowing their trumpet saying that they are the only good people on earth.. the only true honest people on earth, the only ones who do not go to or support war etc, the only ones educated in God's loving righteous ways.. God's Holy, separate and special people'.
But when it becomes apparent as the Australian Royal Commision has made glaringly clear they are just as sick, perverse, twisted, hypocritical and corrupt as the those they constantly condemn they fall back on: 'Oh but these things happen in other religions and groups too".
I think we can safely say that most here in this forum know that to be an utter load of bollox.

Orphan Crow:
Those digs look pretty plain Jane to me. Nothing fancy and nothing too pricey. Other than the door hardware on the cabinets - those are a bit more than standard. But still, not over the top at all. Not even a backsplash and only a single sink.
You need to get out more. Let me show you what real plain Jane looks like.. where missionaries live.

Yes I was impressed by the fact that all the aliens and demi-gods from far away solar systems and galaxies all had American accents and mannerisms. Really opened my eyes to TTATT.

Some in depth background information into the origin, original and current usage of the word cult might be useful here..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult
What is a Cult?
The Cult Information Centre (CIC) defines a cult as a group having all of the following five characteristics:
1. It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
2. It forms an elitist totalitarian society.
3. Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma.
4. It believes the end justifies the means in order to solicit funds and recruit people.
5. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
